Razor.6392 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I'm not in NA and I often get an unplayable and inadmissible 130 ping. This is unacceptable. How is this okay for game companies to let their gamers™ be at an obvious disadvantage when the game is supposed to be competitive? I CAN'T DODGE IN TIME. Put the servers on the house right across the street from where I live. See, there's a place that just happens to be renting and with some refinement it could be adapted into office space VERY easily. I did most of the job for you ANet, now go on and fix this incredibly crucial issue. Now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a flesh wound.3589 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 If you put the NA servers in South America then all the people who are in NA will now have horrible ping. That’s not fixing the problem. It’s shoving your problem onto other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 ArenaNet placed the servers in a location that serves the highest percentage of the population. Farther away for me; 130 ping does not seem that bad compared to many who have posted about ping. Do be aware: the ping listed in-game includes processing time.

Mewcifer.5198 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 No, anet should move the servers to my basement. It's a much better location for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a flesh wound.3589 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Obviously the only reasonable system is for each player to have their own individual server, right next to their computer so they will have zero ping. Make it so ANet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeivu.3615 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Or, you know, you could get a better internet service because where you live doesn't necessarily mean a better ping.

maddoctor.2738 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Or you could use tiny Asura gates, put one close to your PC, another (huge one) close to Anet servers, and voila it will be as if you are next to the servers. Your data will teleport from one gate to another in an instant! No lag for all. We just need to dig underground find those Asura first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crepuscular.9047 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 us OCE players wish we can even get 100+ ping, our avg is like 250 pings if lucky, usually 300 pings and WvW big zerg fights? 2000+ pings ... all you see is your squad hitting thin air, then all of a sudden red rings everywhere and you are dead ... keep on clicking on the WP to resurrect, not WPing... eventually just gives up and relog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blockhead Magee.3092 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 OP, your solution should work well for you. Though, Anet is unlikely to do it as they've been unwilling to take other user suggestions into actionable items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luthan.5236 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I usually don't check the ping. After loggin in to Lion's Arch now I got between 40 and 100 - average about 80 ... for 1 minute or so. Haven't checked for longer duration and I was a bit away from where all the chars gather. I'm from Germany. Now I have played with higher ping as well - even other games (shooter). As long as you aren't playing a shooter game on super high skill level ... I guess it should not be a problem. For a MMORPG I'd say lower 200 is okay and 130 seems pretty good. (Personally I also don't need super high fps like 60 or even more. 20-30 is more than enough for the human eye and brain.) I remember in the past - when I played after release until end of 2013 - there were huge problems but mainly for people with my ISP. Some kind of routing problems where the ISP had to talk with ISP of the servers from ArenaNet and exchanging money to get the packes routed faster. So far I have more problems with the older GW1 which I tried again. Alt tabbing out and nothing running in background and even ping showing okay ... it feels like "rubberbanding" sometimes. Never noticed anything like that in GW2 for the past monthes after returning from my long break. Other than my computer being to weak (taking some time to load all the char models in LA for example after porting there) everything feels fluid.

Hesione.9412 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 At 230-250 ping (my regular ping) I can dodge most mechanics. With a ping of 250 ms, and a median reaction time of 215 ms, oceanic players have about half a second to respond to a mechanic that has a 1 s broadcast (e.g. cast time). I dream of lower ping.

grouchybhaal.4275 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 *laughs in Australian 130ms... Even if we get perfect connection, zero interpretation, open ports and smooth sailing through all hops. 170ms is our best on average aussies and kiwis play with 220-250. So your doing alright @"Razor.6392" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
