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

I really hope this increase in ping is temporary due to recent DC change, and in a few days it gets better

I've been playing with my VPN and I can't get anything lower than 90ms in western PA. If you've got some routing secrets for me please feel free to share because I could really use some right about now.

Switch ISPs or move. Internet infrastructure out in the boonies is going to suck, period. Wouldn't have mattered much if they'd put the DC in Chicago if your ISP has garbage infrastructure.

And on that note, why are you complaining about sub-100ms ping when there are people with legitimate grievances complaining about 200+?

I'm not great at geography but didn't the servers used to be in like Canada or something? If so I'd have thought you were better off now cos I thought California is closer to Brazil than Canada lol.

1. Brazil, which I'm assuming is where the majority of SA players are, is east SA not west.
2. Routing - it would have been a fairly straight shot all the way north to Montreal, I'm guessing SA is now being routed to NY and then west across the country to CA, or something to that effect. The only way to alter it would be to pay extra for a VPN which I imagine might be a problem with how currencies convert

When yoship said this game is playable with 200ms, i had a good laugh, he never ever ever tested ninja at 200ms, or stance dance with CS during savage progression.

Not even Jesus Christ himself could twist mudras at 200ms

I as NA, more or less went from best case(right beside MTL) to worst case(2500 miles). 100ms is fine. Lot's of my euro friends got spunked on tho

I hope you just do solo content, cause it'll be really fun with a lot of people screwing up considering how many people are getting higher pings now.

[Gumbercules]

you mean like the "equal skill" of thinking bards don't double weave out the ***? :P ... or drgs.....or mch..... ok im curious now, what classes do you consider to double weave out the ***? O.o NIN I guess? O.o

This is the real benefit of the move people are overlooking: I had a shitload of packet loss with Montreal and I live in western MI. I can still tracert a Montreal server from here and get a lot of packet loss (thanks Level 3, you guys suck).

Meanwhile my tracert to Cali gives me stable 75ms, no dropped packets, and I route from Chicago directly to San Jose and ultimately wind up in Sacramento every time.

How's in charge of the nuclear football here...this forum needs a strike.

I got 90/100ms before the move, I now get 200/210ms from the UK with no tunnelling service. I suppose it'll be bye bye Gilgamesh soon for me

Pretty much same for me.... I really don't want to leave my friends and the FC on Gilga though
