Today we wanted to play a 6 player game but we didn't manage to succeed. I have a good and stable internet connection and have no problems playing multiplayer games but for some reason I am totally unable to play multiplayer in EL or DotE. I have managed to get a certain record. 16000ms of ping.

I have a cable internet connection as all my friends. We tried to change hosts several times and when I was the host some of us didn't even manage to load into the game as the dropped off while getting the data. 

Maybe it was encountered by someone else? If you need more data about the situation just tell me and I'll give all the requested information. I apologise for any possible mistakes.

I have the same problem occasionally but it usually goes away when I simply re-try to start the game.

Do you have an open NAT?
