In the pursuit of creating a middle ground for the Asia Pacific region i managed to get on a waiting list for a Guam VPS. Pings will vary and improve over time as the OneQode network rolls out across the region.

Hey Prof what else can i try in the meantime?

Changing my ISP from AussieBB to Superloop (i'm in Sydney) reduced my pings to literally everywhere in the region by as much as 10ms Australia wide and a further 5ms reduced to Guam (85 as of current) and Japan saw a drastic improvement of 180ms down to 140ms and even 115ms when using a proxy/vpn!

How to use a proxy:

1. /setu prx < ip:port of q3 server which you want to connect >
2. /connect < ip:port of QWFWD server >
3. As soon as you see the message "Reconnect ASAP!" you should write in the console /reconnect

It is worth noting that i have never seen the reconnect asap message and you should know if it worked straight away as you join the server.
