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

[Cherie]

If you think your ping is bad now (and you are in the USA), just wait for next month where congress votes to get rid of the net neutrality laws. Then if you wanna play games online, you'll have to pay the ISP for the nice speed/routing. Otherwise, it's all slow speed... ; ; (as I understand it anyway, politics doesn't make a lot of sense to me)

Are you even from North America?

If not, your voice on where servers designated from a region you\\'re not even a part of counts for nothing. Be thankful that you have the privilege to even play on them.

I sincerely hope your reply was meant as a joke.

Cheers,
D.

While my knowledge of internet routing is cursory at best, my question is for those who know the subject better. Could it be feasible to have sort of virtual server for region such as SA, which would be the connect point for players of that region, but it would just pass the traffic through a dedicated routing to the actual server. Could something like this help with the inefficient routing choises? What sort of costs would be related, vs the benefit it possibly gives? Or is it even possible to have something like that?

I definitely can't play nin or blm anymore unless I want to be trash at them, 100ms+ being playable is a total lie, only paladin is unaffected.
Shame they were they were the jobs I loved the most, but now swiftcast is not working properly and everything clip on nin, time to become a drg main.

I'm a Blm main since beta and my ping was never below 100ms, now gone up to almost 200, so let me tell you that Blm is still playable. It might take some time adjusting, especially if you were used to an extremely low ping, but it's certainly doable.
I know the swiftcast problem though, my advice on this is to just slightly move while pressing the swiftcast button and the skill you are trying to swiftcast. And no, you're not going to lose dps while doing that, as it's swiftcast, an instant cast. Helped me avoind the cliping most times.

Bullshit. We played with way higher ping than that at the server's old location. Learn to adapt, like we did.

Allow me to be rude, you're a potd main paladin what do you even know? 30ms, 100ms, 400ms makes no difference to you.

I'm a MCH, from Australia....I raided the first savage tier of Alex with 220ms (Sarganatas) - including AS3. Did it take more time for me to learn fights? No. I learnt the fights at the same time as my team. Even so much as using blank on a bomb in AS2 as part of our strat. My DPS was on par with the community - and at times above. In PVP I'd often get praise for my healing abilities, playing against players in the US/Canada. I consider myself an average player in Aus.

Let me doubt your numbers, only one parse uploaded and it's grey.
And mch is one of the least affected job by bad ping, only the opener is.

You don't play MCH at all, do you?

Because it's not "I", it's "we". Believe it or not, there are raiders that didn't live in NE Canada. You can discount me all you want. You can't discount everyone else who has dealt with ping upwards of 200 for years.

Not saying this is the case with the person you quoted but since we are being rude and jumping to conclusions here wth would you know about how how someone leveled or if the character you can see on their lodestone is even their main? It amazes me how many people think they can look at a persons lodestone and immediately know everything they have / haven't accomplished.
