Important Information Regarding North American Data Center Relocation

[Ama_Hamada]

You get time outs because those hops are set up to reject tracert. Cant have you knowing the internal setup of a datacenter.

Also, I think its funny you are complaining about a ping increase to what hasbeen normal for me, for the last 4 years. And I think you said you were in Europe and I'm in the US lol.

So this is normal for you?

Uh no, missing out of a chain when I killed something 2 second to go is not me. Having bio not transfer because I hit bane too fast is not me. Having lustrate go on CD/ aether use but not heal anything is not me. Having deathflare start the animation but not go off is not me. Spinting before a melee LB is used, then get hit by it while behind a wall + 5 miles away from it, is not me.

That post was to show I get "unplayable" lag @50 ms or so (that test thingy to the game itself while playing it) When countless things "fail" because of latency issues I define as unplayable.

Trying to optimize play highest as possible is not possible with how much the game lags, and I am a bit confused why it exists. So far my idea is that trying to make it playable under 200 ms means give it artificial lag by processing things slowly that does not help. Maybe all we needed was the upgraded servers, I hope that is all it was anyway. We will find out tomorrow I suppose.

It really does depend on your ISP and what routing they use and even possibly the time of day. Best thing you can do is open a command prompt and then type:

ping 199.91.189.23

That's Sargatanas, but it's in the Montreal data centre so that's all that really matter. It'll do 4 pings and show you the average. Personally I'm getting 89ms, friends of mine on different ISPs gets ~95ms (not really much in it). West coast (if it even goes there) no way to really check as we don't know for sure where it is/what networks it'll be connected to so we'll just to have wait.

You're missing the part where 204.2.229.234 is already pingable on that route:

ae-1.r00.scrmca02.us.bb.gin.ntt.net (129.250.7.31) 
xe-0-1-0-1-1.r00.scrmca02.us.ce.gin.ntt.net (129.250.195.46) 
204.2.229.234 (204.2.229.234)

Same netblock:

network:IP-Network-Block:204.2.229.0 - 204.2.229.255

what does TTL mean/ do?
Unless they upgraded the servers in the sense I am hoping in, I do not think this is very good...
Also I think I prefer routing though level 3 then comcast....

TTL stands for "Time To Live". The only time to be concerned is if it is very low. What it basically does is say how many hops your ping can go before your ping dies. Each time it hits a router, it decrements by 1. When it reaches 0, the ping dies and you get the "unreachable" message on traceroute or ping.

As a side note, its going to be a lot different playing, my ping times went from an average of 240 ms down to 70 ms..... Maybe now I can dodge some of those big aoe's

I live in Buffalo, and my pings to the new data center are so bad that I'd be better off playing on the Japanese servers.
My pings to the Europe data center are still much worse, but my pings to the NA center have nearly tripled with this. x_x
It's actually to the point that, despite being in the NA, I'm on the border of "playable ping" based on the developers' statements.

This is an issue with your internet. Even if you live on the very edge of the east coast if you have reasonable internet your ping won't be much higher than what west coasters have been getting this entire time (100ish).

This to be honest, you can try a route optimizer such as wtfast but if you are having better ping for a jp server then something has to be wrong. I've had no noticeable change moving from SC to CA when servers were in eastern Canada

That's an issue on your end or your service provider. There's absolutely no reason why your ping would be better on the JP servers if you're in Buffalo.

Has there seriously been no update from SE regarding the maintenance in the last two days?

[Naria]

What do you want them to say? The window isn't over yet. The only thing I would expect to hear before the end of the maintenance is that they are extending it.

As they say, no news is good news. It just means things are proceeding on schedule.
