In game: sending 20-100, Receiving 200-5600

Both these tests were done one during 12PM CTR, the 2nd was at 5pm CTR. Please explain to me how this is an ISP problem when according to this test I am connecting to the server flawlessly, but in game I'm getting lag spikes out of the wazoo

PS: It's not just one place either. I've been hearing people complaining about this in game all day long from NYC to LA USA, and im in TX. So whatever the hell the problem is, this needs fixed and SE needs to stop ignoring us.

And that statement is a load of bs and you know it. Will it go to them? Sure, will it help? Not bloody likely.

Let me tell you guys something I experienced personally today. I ran coil with a full party and we all lagged pretty bad. Had spikes here n there. Afterwards, I got into a Titan party and same thing happened for everybody. This happened on Gilgamesh, btw.

I live at the east coast and my friend lives in CA. My friend has been telling me about massive lag and disconnects from the game servers. He was blaming SE for these problems like many others was doing. I looked at his routing table from CA to SE servers. I found he was having servere packet loss and problems and other problems with a routing server in Palo Alto, CA (owned by Tata Communications). I researched this routing server and found out people playing WoW, GW2, and many other mmorpgs living in CA are having the same problems.

I told my friend to call Verizon (his ISP) and explain the problem and they need to reroute him. They blew him off at first that it was not a Verizon problem. I called Verizon on his behalf and made this a 3-way call between Verizon, my friend, and I. After the conversation, Verizon did reroute him and now my friend's connection to SE game servers is great. Today he tells me that he doesn't get disconnects and doesn't lag like he use too.

The people giving the advice are correct for solving these problems addressed in this thread.

I had login problems like everyone in early access and at launch. I understood the servers was being overloaded. After the 9/4 maintenance, I don't have anymore problems with the game. My ping is around 30-44ms on peak times.

I am a network administrator/engineer, web hosting engineer, and own a technology company. i have over 20 years XP. I figured on giving my some of my background before someone becomes critical on what I posted.

Saddly posts like this is will be drowned out by rampant whining =\

[Cythros]

Persona, I agree with ya. I got tired of reading these posts about there connection problems. The only thing people can do is blame SE for all there problems.

[HoroBoro]

Network admins coming out in doves defending SE. SE doesn't intend to do any investigation on their side.

I'm sick and tired of disagreeing with people. Forget that there are people who have traced and found no issues (timeout/packet loss/high ping), and yet still experience strange lag. Or that there are people who have no problems with any other games during prime time. Time to be negative, take the safe bet, and sound smart (hey 3 birds, 1 stone).

"Learn to call your ISP."

There: problem solved for thousands of people. I'm done keeping up with the lag issue. It doesn't even affect me. I can dodge just fine looking at circles.

Complainers are always wrong. The big company that doesn't even bother to give a response to a 72 page thread is doing it right.

Lol who cares about responsiveness anyways.

Well, no matter who's at fault (and it seems ISPs in NA are sucky heh) this issue would be alleviated if they made EU and NA datacenters. EU ppl would only deal with our EU connections, NA ppl would have much less traffic to their datacenters. I want my fucking 30-40ms that I have in every normal MMO with servers in Europe!

As is for me the game becomes unplayable after 8pm or so. Goes from no issues, to small lag spikes, to massive 1-10 sec game freezes (I can move, nothing else is moving, before someone smartasses about my PC). Oh, and it's getting worse with every maintenance. Yesterday I ate pretty much every Succubus AOE in AK...thank fuck I already did Titan. Coil? Hah. Yeh right. And do I care if it's fault of some random ISP in a land far far away? No. It's automatically fault of SE to make people have to connect over half the globe. Or not choosing better provider for their services. Or what-fucking-ever. Most annoying part is...some people have 0 problems, some have a lot and you always get ppl circle-jerking who's fault it is...SE, ISP or the user.

Yo, I got spikes like yo everywhere yo! Fight titan, titan freeze, and BOOM yo I was dead like the yoyo. I click skill, and yo delay like yo shiet 2 seconds, freak me out yo! I gave up yo! Depressing, I can't even yolo dungeon. 50MBPS yo fast like a nascar.. but yo so confused!!! >..< But yo I gave up and started yolo crafting and gathering, and yo dammit! SPIKES! Yo delay in casting skills like 3-4 secs yolo delay!!!! OHHHHHMMMAAAAAIIIIIIGAWDDDDDD!?!?!? Yo very unhappy. I'm a very sad panda now yo.

Yo = Spikes
Yolo = Freezes

I would spike every 15-20 seconds, and then there would be freezes here and there. This is not even due to routing. Same situation happened with the league of legends community several months ago and it was "CONFIRMED" that it was RIOT's server conflicting with certain ISP. Just saying, its very comparable and I have faced the same similar situation.
