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

My ping went from 150 to 430 on the East Coast so I'm.. ; ; I might have to give up raiding for a while.

That sounds both very strange and a little unbelievable.

Your ISP sounds horrible. Might want to jump ship to a better company.
If not, consider using a VPN such as WTFast or Pingzapper which will likely solve your issue.

Unless I'm not doing it right.

Ping statistics for 195.82.50.9:
Minimum = 465ms, Maximum = 556ms, Average = 501ms
Ping statistics for 204.2.229.9:
Minimum = 271ms, Maximum = 545ms, Average = 411ms
Ping statistics for 204.2.229.10:
Minimum = 348ms, Maximum = 532ms, Average = 454ms

My ISP is the only one available in my area, I can't get anything else. I shouldn't have to pay for an alternate program either on top of a monthly sub for a game.

If I'm running the ping wrong though, someone please let me know!

Isn't this exactly what many players on the West Coast, Oceania, and South America have had to do for the past 4 years?

Your ISP is routing you to some wonky places by the looks of it. Though I am not all that knowledgable in this area.

It's not SE's doing here. It's your ISP.
It's almost like saying "I don't want to upgrade my potato computer to play a modern game. I want the latest games to run on my 233mHz Pentium 2."

If you were getting 150ms while living on the east coast, then that should be proof enough, as you should have been sub-100 to begin with.

The only way around this is a VPN. $4 per month for pingzapper. Best investment you can make if you really care about your gaming.
$4 is less than a pack of cigarettes or a beer. Per month. Just trying to put that into perspective.

No offence intended here but I don't buy this whole "I don't want to pay for another service on top of my sub to play a game". If you care enough about playing then the added cost of $4 per month shouldn't be an issue. I have been doing this since pre-2.0 and I never thought twice about it after I started using it.

*sigh* see this is why the English foums have well over 40K threads and the other 3 language forums have only 6-7K threads combined over 4 years because we keep making the same topic over and over lol /faceplam (yes I realize this is off topic, but it had to be said lol)

(back on topic)
And here we have another overreaction.. I feel bad for the NIN but if for him to be kicked over something minor he has nothing to do with, he is diffinitely better off without the group lol but at the same time its bad on SE for not having NA West and East Coast data centers..

[Jxnibbles]

I seen this happening already.. At least some pc players have tools to help with ping issues. Ps4 users have very limited options. What can you do not like anything is going to be changed anyway. Just gotta deal with it till at the rate stuff gets fixed I assume EC will get a server by 8.0.

[Lexia]

Raiders always have been kind of petty about stuff.

[Yudzster]

was the nin a mentor?

[Tsumdere]

was the nin a mentor?

No, the rest of the raid static were mentors. ALL of them.

[Altena]

Lol this is hilarious.

I play on NA servers and I live in Australia. Before the move I was getting 300-400ms.

I also cleared Savage with my static months ago. Most of which live on the west coast.

Do you really need to live next door to the server just to raid? That is absolutely hilarious.

I am surprised that your NIN stuck around for so long while playing with complete asshats.
