Titan Extreme Ping check rather than EXP players check

[Ooshima]

Whenever I'm in any Primal fights, I'm typically seeing anything from 2500-7000ms spiky server ping times.

I've only just unlocked Titan XM. Can someone tell me if Titan XM is possible with the above mentioned ping times?

2.5-7s ping?

I have no evidence to say it's 100% impossible but that's "incredible".

IDK - I understand and have experienced shitty lags before because I live in South-East Asia and I started the game in a NA Server. 290-400ms pings are common for me even on fibre broadband. When I shifted to JP Server, my pings are always under 100ms

So considering from SEA to NA is almost one side to another side of the globe already and on fibre it is about 290-400ms, I'm really wondering what kind of internet connection is 2500-7000ms? (I'm being honest here, I really don't know because I've never experienced such pings nor have knowledge about what causes such pings)

In the open world, if there's no one around, my ping times are around 400-600ms for me. It's only once I get into the Primal fights that it gets weird. With everyone standing at the start and buffing it'll be like 400-600ms as per "normal". Once the fight starts, it'll move up to around 1500ms, and then it's like 100ms gets added per minute after that. Most times, mid-fight, it'll be around 2500-2800ms or so as a fairly "steady" thing, and normally I compensate for that fairly well by pre-moving and anticipation and knowing the patterns of what's coming up, including flat out running into effect detonations on my screen to avoid what's going to appear under me 3 seconds later, because I know that they're actually finished as far as the server is concerned. The times that I do get hit though, most typically it'll be reading anywhere between 4000-7000ms, having spiked that high unexpectedly. It's even worse in CT, I've played through that with steady 12-16s ping times before.

Once the fight ends, bingo, straight back to a "normal" 400-600ms.

Go figure. I personally suspect serious traffic shaping by my ISP.

What's truly bizarre though, is that I can be on TeamSpeak with my friends in the USA, and I've had them tell me that some enemy effect has been cast, and then it'll appear on my screen two seconds later. I mean, let's think about that for a moment. The traffic from the game server has left towards me and my friend at the same time (presumably). My USA friend can see the effect, then speak about it, and his voice travels from the USA to me, and I hear him saying it, a good two seconds before my game displays it.

Actually, the more I think about it as I write that, it's almost definitely ISP traffic shaping that's happening.

Highly possible. Some ISPs tends to oversell their bandwidth and thus resorted to rather serious traffic control/throttling measures.

Hope you have some other ISPs to move to.
