Yoshi-P and Third-Party Ping Correcting Tools

[Nav_Fae]

Yoshi P acknowledged that some third-party tools were used to enhance the UI and HUD. This acknowledgement has led to the dev team to create in-game tools to discourage the use of third-party tools. This is a good thing.

In this same spectrum, the recent post on Lodestone has also mentioned that third-party tools used to alter packets, ping, and lag were not allowed. This brings us back to the point where Yoshi-P in a live letter had stated he has never heard of international players experiencing ping issues before. What we need is to be louder about this so we could get some attention to these issues. By the same logic used for the HUD, I really hope the dev team would acknowledge it for ping, packets, and lag. SE could further discourage the use of third-party tools by looking into this issue more deeply. I guess what they need is specific examples that they are able to recreate.

I vpn is a pipe. It doesn't actually modify network traffic or game data.


Stop reaching

I am not reaching I just don't want to get banned for something monumentally stupid. It is a program allowing to be seen as connecting to the servers from a different country. It minimizes your ping and could be considered third party. I am not saying these things to be sarcastic. I legitimately want to know. Some games do not take lightly to vpn's because you can hide your ip and your connection is taking different routes.

I really wish they would, imagine people having to play on a DC that's close to them, instead of using a VPN that's outside their area? I bet they'de experience less server issues, and lower ping too.

I live in the US my ping is 256 without a vpn because they could not be bothered to put servers anywhere other than California. I might get a better connection around 200 ping to germany maybe but it is still far. I am on the east coast. I literally can't be closer to any server.

A VPN is a network application that pipes traffic from an entry point to an exit point. It does not modify the data it contains.


You will not get banned for using a VPN, you are not circumventing region locks.

People are freaking out over everything because some streamers got caught being dumb. Most of this panic is fabricated by trolls.

Thank you. I only know that the launcher has a fit if I have the vpn on when attempting to log in after a patch if I forgot to turn it off after downloading it. I am hoping that when you first log in it records your actual ip so it knows who you are and than treats the vpn as just another connection and just ignores it...well sort of. I had a ton of issues with the launcher just spazzing out and telling me my password was wrong but after using the two factor it stopped thankfully.

I live in Maine.

I have around 114ish ping, no VPN or PING reducing helpers, so I don't see how yours would be that much worse than mine. Unless your part of the US, has horrid internet and other things causing interference.

Cannot even remain connected to my own countries data center without VPN. Who hurt you?

Hmm. Actually get better ping to EU then I do to West Coast.

Aye you will never be banned for using the VPN. Right now several countries require VPN to play due to cross network routing issues between their i-bone and NTT.

I think some of concern is innocent and genuine, the rest is memeing. Happens allllll the time.
