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

This kinda ping is still well within the norms for 80% of online gaming, if going from 30ms to 100ms gets you killed, its more you then the lag. Just being honest.

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.

Not even going to touch this rage. Your not listening, just creating situations with no evidence of how this change is that drastic.

Those things happen daily in the game, as is, lol@ "just creating situations with no evidence"
Oh yeah all those times LB bars get used up but no effect because of the built in latency ? yep.
MY HOPE~! is the upgraded server allows things to process, but that hope is small based on what I experience so far.

He's right though, I play from EU with a 100/100 line and all those things happen ALL THE TIME even with a VPN. Don't even get me started on how cancerous playing brd and nin are and its only going to get worse.

XDXD<3 putting up 2 dots then sidewinder missing one I take it ? ;p

Because folks don't understand how networks work anymore, Distance is a part, but like 1/5 of the factors, Shitty routing and packet loss plays so much more into lag then distances nowadays.

I see...

If you don't live in a big metro area, yes. Doubly so if you're in out in the sticks in a place that gets really bad snow in the winter.

So it is kinda like Aussie then. Thanks for the insight both.

I'll stick with Tonberry, I get 130ms ping there, and 216ms to the new servers. Might make an alt tho.

Looks like I'm starting to go through Level3 where I wasn't before. The horrors!
My ping to the last available hop has doubled compared to the game before.

Ragingwire Sacramento CA2 Data Center.

NTT/Ragingwire owns the IP addresses and they can use them anywhere in their data center network, you can't go by WHOIS information. If the hop holds true it's the CA2 Data Center. However it's not the game server(s) themselves but it's likely the IPs are within the same subnet family.

Directed at thread title: How does CA make sense. Why would they not choose a central area that is better for everyone in the NA Datacenters? How does this make ANY more sense than Canada Square Enix. EXPLAIN please.

Also hopefully the title to the thread is wrong because that would be just as stupid as a move as Canada was.

If it truely is in CA Im pretty sure a majority of my FC will be moving to an EU server. Just need to figure out which one..

Better network connections? Geographic location is very much of secondary importance compared to how the datacenter is connected to the rest of the world.
