Perth and Tonberry?

[ShizumiNeko]

Hello, I'm from Perth and I was looking to move over to a JP sever to try to get better MS (ping) and was wondering how much better it was over on these severs. I'm on Behemoth sever and my ms is around 297 to 318+ and I have issues with Boss AOE when even if I move I will still most likely get hit by it making some trials and dungeons quite hard to do with out dying. I've tried to ping the sever and got around 248 to 250

So I was just wondering if there was anyone from Perth that haves any info for if I did move over to a JP sever will I get getting something like 248 ping and will moving out of the way from AOE is possible ? Oh and if this makes any different my download speed is 113.30 mbps (can change) and upload speed is normally around 2.40 mbps

Thank you for reading my post and I hope you all have a great day.

Hey Haru! Syn here :P fancy meeting you here...

If you want to check your ping to the Tonberry Server, I'd suggest pulling out cmd and typing "ping 124.150.157.30" that should tell you what your latency to the server is.

You need a tunneling service, like Battleping or Pingzapper. One of these will probably solve the problem, if not switch to a JP server like Tonberry, although most likely need the service while playing on Tonberry as you are still a great distance from Japan. Good luck!

If you're getting ~250ms ping to Tonberry from Perth, then your ISP is probably routing you to Sydney and then to Japan.

I'm in the South West of WA and get ~160ms pinging 124.150.157.30 and ~200ms to the server (measured with the resource monitor while ingame,) but I'm with Internode (who are apparently good with routing) or ~140ms-180ms while using Battleping to one of their servers in Japan (number 4.)

You could try making a character on any available JP server and testing your ping with the Windows resource monitor (opened from the bottom of the performance tab in Task Manager) while ingame, and compare that to what you get while using free trials of some of the tunneling services.

Hello ^-^ I did that I get around 240ms to 250ms

I've been trying to make one on the sever but I have not seen it open up yet.

Is there any way to stop the ISP from going to Sydney and then to Japan? With your MS do you get any AOE lag?

I don't think there's really anything you can do besides contact them regarding the route your traffic takes to Japan or use a tunneling service with their own, more optimised routes; I'm far from an expert on the subject, though.

I've found AoE avoidance to be very forgiving with my ping, but I've only just started playing again after leaving in 2.1 (because of the lag I experienced on the NA datacentre...) so I haven't got to any of the more difficult content.

In regards to making a character on Tonberry, all the servers on the JP data centres should give you the exact same results, so you don't have to wait for it to be available to test ping values. If you do want to make a new character there instead of transferring your current one, you could either try early in the morning or wait until tomorrow's maintenance (2pm to 6pm for +8 timezones) and check to see if the servers come back up early and try then.

VPN Service like Pingzapper fixes that

[ShizumiNeko]

What is the best VPN and whats if different between them I'm been trying out WTFast (trail) for the past day and it droped my ms by over 130 (the pay verson says it can drop it more) But is there a better one out there ?
