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

I'm not gonna say you cant play at 100ms or higher but people who have been playing at 100ms+ have a harder time seeing the difference of going from 20-40ms to 100-120ms. Just like everyone who was at 100ms+ now getting the 20-40 range are going to notice the difference so are the people going from 20-40 range to 100+. The best outcome that could have came from these servers moving was if they went with a central location that way the people getting over 100ms+ will see a drop most likely to the 60-80 range while the people with 20-40 range will also mostly be in the 60-80 range one side will have slight better ping while the other side will have slightly worse ping but in the end it balances out the issue more so then moving the Data center from the East coast to the West coast. This was their chance to fix the whole west coasters complaining about lag without just turning the tables.

If 100 ms is unplayable, i guess i havent been able to play much at all since release. Oh wait, i did just fine.

If i can double weave with greased lightning 3 up on 100+ then anyone can double weave lol, and i dont even main monk.

Now try that with 375-380ms, which is what I'm getting from South America after the datacenter move.

I don't normally respond to posts like this but you are joking right OP? A latency of 100ms is nothing. You wouldn't even be able to tell the difference gameplay-wise from a 40ms ping or a 100ms ping. Honestly it sounds like your connection woes are an issue with your ISP. To clarify, I am not saying what I am saying just to say it. I am well educated in networking so my response comes from this education. 100ms ping would not, under any circumstance (other than packet loss), cause the issues you are talking about.

I can, people going from the 20-40 range will notice the difference hell I do I live about 6 hours from the old servers but I can feel the difference in ping already not unplayable but it is annoying. I can feel the delay on some of my skills it's not much but it's there. Am I going to quit because of this no, will I need to learn to adjust for this since I can promise it will carry over to how early I have to dodge the AOE's in fights which at first is going to suck and it's why I wish they went with a Central server that way no one really could complain.

Yeah, it is noticeable, but I agree that it's not deal breaking. I went the other direction where I now no longer have that teensy tiny, little delay at the end of every ability before the next queued one kicks in. I certainly didn't have any issues completing content or weaving ogcd abilities in without clipping the next one.

If 100ms is unplayable I think there might be other issues at work, like maybe your router, ISP, computer, something (gaming "network booster" card perhaps). That or you've lived some really sweet life thus far lol. I've made do with 500ms pings before, takes a lot of anticipation... (painfully playable). 100-200 is good, 300 is aggressively meh and some anticipation. Below 100 is amazing.

I would just blame it on PvP chat.

But no, seriously, 100ms is fine. I'm doing just fine with 130ms on EU servers.

I think it's the PotD speed runners fault and the inventory bloat that is slowing down both, the server as well as her/his connection. We need to accept that 100ms will be unplayable.

Unplayable is an overstatement but we can't change the fact that it will feel very different for those who got used to playing with near perfect ping for a long time.

I haven't even checked my ping yet, but the servers are more more than triple the distance away from me. Moving the servers so far away was baffling.
