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

As a PS4 Im greatly affected by the server move. My character has the "under water" affect. It runs and move a couple of seconds after executing the command. Certain actions as a Bard are confusing when it comes to BL etc. Another way to find out if you have a laggy character is at cacpot, if I scratch the circles to reveal the numbers it takes a couple of second to reveal the figure. Another way to notice this lag is by going to the MB browse for something and once u done , the arrow mark will stay on the MB for a couple of seconds once u have moved​ away. It's not ideal and the game doesn't feel the same.

A pc player got all sorts of ways to try to fix their ping. My question is are there a ways for PS4 players to reduce lag or ping at all?

Sorry, slightly confused and just want to clarify: You're saying, for example, you press the analog stick to the left and it has a delay between when you pushed it and when the character moves to the left? If so that's a client-side problem, ping doesn't affect that. I'm not actually sure how you improve your ping on PS4, I remember reading somewhere that you could set up a VPN on your router but that's the only vague information I know. Hope you can sort out your problem!

Wireless connection? No ps4 only supports the slower speeds. You would have to upgrade to ps4 pro or go wired.

If you're referring to how PC players use VPNs to improve their connection, you could accomplish something like that but you'd need a router with VPN (client) support.

Yes I'm looking something like VPN I'm completely oblivious as to how it works or what does it do.im wired too.

VPN is something that PS4 can't do on it's own, you've have to VPN via a PC and then bridge the PS4 to the VPN via that PC. Some routers might support the use of a VPN service, I've never really looked into that.

You can also badger the heck out of your ISP about ping times and bad routing and ask them to optimize. They may/may not do anything. However it's possible that they could help the situation if there is some bad routing in their network, bu optimizing it.

Thanks I'm gonna have to look into this. It might improve my ping on PS4 a bit

I know that there is a thing where you can manually enter in Google's public DNS servers. Not sure if it affects ping etc, though. It's easy to find info on this online.
