Regarding Reports on Recent Connection Problems with the NA Data Center

[Godel]

Las Vegas, Cox area here.

Several thousand pings here, higher than 1% packet loss on the NTT nodes is really terrible for such a high volume of pings. It only takes one lost packet for your input to register late enough to matter and mess up punishing mechanics in harder encounters.


(By the way, tip for those posting results: a basic Trace in CMD isn't super helpful to see packet loss trend over a long period of time. Grab WinMTR and let it run for 15-60 minutes.)

I've been using Mudfish to my experience tolerable (in theory it shouldn't really affect the connection quality, but it does quite a bit). That seems like an expense I shouldn't need to be covering.

I didn't have to use Mudfish until mid-November or so; that's when my problems started. Any ideas of what changed at that time? Game has been nearly unplayable without Mudfish since then.
