Bad lag again with NTT's NA server network

[rainhadar]

Thank you so much TaleraRistain about the suggestion on the Vpn PIA (Honolulu) location. I will give that a try and hopefully fingers crossed that will at least help with making the game playable. I really appreciate your help!

Maybe huffing some hard hopium, but perhaps they have the root caused nail down and will be able to replicate whatever they did last night?

The pessimism in me is saying this issue isn’t getting fix in a timely manner.

Now it seems Nord VPN is back to normal and I have excellent connection once again.

Going to try another alliance raid here in a bit to see if it really is working.

Looks like I'm experiencing lag again, but at the moment it doesn't appear as bad as it was before on my end. It appears to be slightly less frequent.

So I've been told that this has something to do with Silicon Valley Banks getting shut down and causing tech issues. This happened back in March and now its slowly affecting everything techwise. So apparently this is a big california issue as well.

Not sure how true this is, but this is what a friend informed me of. Would explain why NTT says there is an NDA.

Oooh, interesting, if the information you were given is at least somewhat true.

True, Silicon Valley Bank going under had some ripple effects, but the scale even affecting the tech sector of California?

That will be a mess and a half to clean up, but we'll see how it goes next. If SVB was helping fund those NTT nodes... the plot thickens. That would also explain the NDAs in place.

The lag is coming from inside the house! /s

Seriously though, I'm even lagging on 1.1.1.1 now. What on earth...

Free/public VPNs are going to lag, that's to be expected. Especially ones that are made for "normies" and just have a single button to enable globally on your system instead of including options to let you choose to only route certain executables through the connection, so there's gonna be bandwidth wasted by users who want to also watch videos and/or download big stuff during prime hours.
I would recommend you to try something else. I went back to my old reliable method of just making a proxy with AWS (free 12 month trial) and launched an ec2 instance in US west-1 (N. California). I haven't experienced lag since.

I'm having a harder and harder f-ing time finding a working VPN to work around this garbage where is the damn fix already?!?! Cancelling the sub if not fixed by June I'm FINALLY DONE

Yeah the ick is back:



I have not logged on due to I'm JUST home from the con. Still wiped, physically. Let's hope this bloody lag is almost over tho, by the Twelve.

Also if you're wondering, the ping at the end is always 100% packet loss for me, but if it's all green, then I know I'm fine.
