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

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.

Oh god, shitty routing brings back memories.
There was another game I played that got completely unplayable come European prime time because one of the comcast hops was garbage.
Simply enabling a VPN and getting a different route solved everything.

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

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.

[Zojha]

Are you telling me the US is in an entire different continent to Canada?

No, I'm telling you that the distance increase is comparable, therefore the ping increase from distance increase is comparable.

But feel free to keep misunderstanding. You seem to be doing it on purpose.

Totally! I'm pretty directly connected to a backbone, so I get playable pings to all 3 datacenters, but I know people who are basically stuck with dial-up or fast satellite uploads but crap down out on the boonies.

I think some people just have no idea how much empty space there is in North America.

[Malzian]

Can you tell me what site you used?
Using all kinds of DNS Lookup websites or even simple "ip location" websites I get different locations, mostly around Chicago/Detroit/Kentucky area, one in Colorado.
Haven't found anything that leads to California.

Yeah, same here. It's definitely Colorado. ARIN has that IP listed as a town in Colorado, not California.

So WHAT? East Coast or Central US? Lol
I wish SE would say something so people dont freak out!

GeoIP data is unreliable, after all the GeoIP data for my IP puts me in New Zealand, when I'm in Australia. If you actually ran a traceroute to one of the server IPs, you'll see it's going straight to the NTT data center in Sacramento, CA.

[Canadane]

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.
