Battleping for EU players

[Superlol]

So anyone tried to use it? I know that in Aion it makes things so much better. I don't think there might be a better option for now to decrease the latency..

aside opening the doors to rmt ? sure.

Why pay for something that will ping a IP-adress when you can do it yourself.

In the run window type in cmd and start the cmd.exe. It opens the command window. In the command line you type: ping 199.91.189.74 -t
The ping adress I put in there is the pingserver in montreal for NA/EU servers.

Voila continues ping for free, just minimize and it will run until you close the command window.

Do you know what is Battleping...?

It is a program that creates a tunnel so you can bypass certain problems if your ISP throttles games or dont allow communication on certain ports and it may even create a better route to the game servers.

Exactly, it creates a VPN tunnel. Pinging a server in CMD is not the same as creating a VPN to tunnel data more efficiently than your ISP.

Pro tip - Open CMD and type tracert -d 199.91.189.74

This will tell you how many hops and how long it takes you to get to the NE/EU servers. You can then download the trial for Battleping and do the same to see if it is actually an improvement or not.

Dont use cmd for that, got better programs for doing traceroutes. Me want shiny, colourful graphs instead of a black screen with white numbers on it.

Yup no improvement here, 107ms with and 107 ms without.

107ms isn't bad from Europe, SE still need to fix their AoE circles to sync with cast bars :S

Also a ping to the servers doesn't really help if SE's servers have bad infrastructure and netcode.

or you can just open the game and hold windows button + r and type in resmon to open the resource monitor then go network and look for ffxiv.exe and you can see your ping in real time
