Bad lag again with NTT's NA server network

[Rehayem]

Tried WARP by Cloudflare, the ping is still in 500 ms so it didn't do anything for me.

EDIT: I downloaded Proton VPN and it seems to be working just fine, my ping dropped to 160ms (as it should be). Requires having an account though, but it's worth it.

Just wanted to chime in also to say I've been experiencing the same thing
Also EU to NA and have been fine at 150ms until it's been spiking at around 600ms consistently the past few days.

Sadly I can also say that I'm having the same problem :l
Connecting from EU to NA, always had around 170 to 190ms but now it seems to be around 400ms at all times.

Also have high ping on NA playing from EU - every single input and action has a visible 1 second delay in game that was not there 2 days ago.

Wondering if there might be a connection between the ISP we are using and from which region we are.
I‘m from the UK, with Full Fibre from EE/OpenReach

Don't think it's ISPs this time, I play from Norway and some buddies play from non-UK areas.

Been having this trouble for about a week, NTT server in France causing a huge ping delay trying to connect from UK to NA datacenter. I hope it can be corrected or rerouted soon, as the lag is preventing me from playing the game in any meaningful way, and I would like to participate in the moogletome event.

It's time for NA peeps to wake up, meaning connection starts to worsen. I've been up since about 8 AM BST, and I have a graph of the past 6 hours online. It's about 30 minutes away (as of the time I'm typing this) for daily reset to give non-EU people some perspective.



Currently ping sits at about 350 ms, meaning I'm forced to use vpn already.

Bro, I'm in the UK and getting this issue, so the excuse of it being AT&T won't fly for NTT or SE now lol

Currently 450ms without Mudfish running

Yes, my ping is really high right now. The problem hadn't been happening very much for a while, but now it's happening again. I avoid an AoE ages in advance and somehow still get hit by it. Whenever I get this issue, the trace always shows it is due to an ISP right next to the server.

The solution shouldn't be for all players to get a VPN. Perhaps SE could create their own proxy server network that navigates around this problematic ISP and then we all connect to that.
