[GW2 Launchbuddy] Ping Information of Authentication Servers

[hornswroggle.8023]

I have a problem:

 

I'm using GW2 Launchbuddy to run my game with certain commandline arguments, including arguments to determine via which authentication server I log in. (I play on EU)

It has been communicated that the EU server infrastructure has undergone serveral changes over the last weeks, and since then I get no ping information from these servers anymore. If I manually ping the severs I time out, however I can login perfetcly fine.

 

Can anyone help me with this? Is this an issue of GW2 LB or do the servers do something different than before? (I'm thinking of a proxy, but I'm no expert)

Thanks in advance

ArenaNet has been increasingly using Amazon's servers over the past several months, which don't allow pings.

Hm ok... that's a bummer.

 

Sadly this slows down LB a lot when I do a server call, and I have to guess which servers have traffic.

I use LB a lot and it helps so much when the servers are unstable. I was able to enjoy PoF launch a whole lot more because I didn't DC as much and was able to relog or load into maps when others were not.
