[Data Center USA] Ping increased. Report your changes here.

It's Ama, what do you think. She has complains to everything.

An important fact:

Higher Ping is not necessarily bad if it comes in exchange for lower packet loss.

Montreal was actually a very bad place and packets were often lost.

[Nerisu]

Unplayable is an overstatement but we can't change the fact that it will feel very different for those who got used to playing with near perfect ping for a long time.

You're being pretty spoiled to think 100ms is unplayable. That's standard for a lot of people.

[MeoTwister5]

Jesus H. Christ people at the rate we're going we could have Qunatum Entanglement infrastructure and people would still be bitching about latency.

Me? I'm getting 170ms now from typical 200+. I am more than satisfied.

I almost never had that problem, and I can assure you this is hurting my performance in game right now. :/ I'll be fine if the routing is fixed, but right now I'm getting 40ms more than I should have.

Again, 200+ ping is doable with double weaving, I've been doing it since ARR Launch, PS3, 230+ Ping. The playerbase needs to stop assuming or talking out of their rears because the doomsday hearsay is honestly pretty laughable. Given the fact that I've done all the raiding content while relevant + Ex Primals, yes, it is doable, and at a very high level of play as well. Just because /someone/ can't do it doesn't mean /nobody/ can do it. Given the fact that my raid team puts out the DPS that they do is evidence that, if you really want to, you can put out the numbers. I, however, do agree that for players who are /NOT/ used to playing with ping so high, it is not going to be enjoyable having to re-learn timings and fights to compensate for the higher ping, but it is what it is. They're not going to un-move the DC, so the two choices are Adapt or Quit. Grim, I know, but reality doesn't tend to be very bright all the time.

I've played since ARR on a ping of 105+. Cleared nearly every major raid and ex trial. Sure, I couldn't optimally double weave CDs to push out 20 extra dps. Hardy unplayable.

[Tykela]

A latency of 100ms is nothing. You wouldn't even be able to tell the difference gameplay-wise from a 40ms ping or a 100ms ping.

I can, people going from the 20-40 range will notice the difference hell I do I live about 6 hours from the old servers but I can feel the difference in ping already not unplayable but it is annoying. I can feel the delay on some of my skills it's not much but it's there. Am I going to quit because of this no, will I need to learn to adjust for this since I can promise it will carry over to how early I have to dodge the AOE's in fights which at first is going to suck and it's why I wish they went with a Central server that way no one really could complain.

[Exiled_Tonberry]

White Knights on high alert I see.

EU have every right to be upset if they feel their ping increased too much for them personally.
I wouldn't outright quit the game as long as I could still enjoy myself, but I would be upset.
