Unplayable 360ms to 5500ms ping Normally i get 46-60ms Ping to waterson is the normal 146ms and is working just fine.
Definitely unplayable. From the command prompt I get ~160ms, while I usually got 75-90ms. Inside the game the lowest I got was ~280ms, usually around 1.6 secs, and has topped at 10 secs. Usually I got 100-120ms ingame, according to the scorecard latency metric. Running tracerout, it is the actual server (amspsn-liv-gw01.planetside2.com) that has the high ping. Intermediate hops are within expected margins. Also there is a significant ~15% packet loss at the server address.
I too am LAGGING MY *** OFFFFFFFF. I've tried playing anyway for 1,5 hours because I'm a hopeless case but I'm tense and incredibly annoyed by now.
This is just the map screen. I didn't dare video the rubber banding and just random appearing of people...
I wish SOE would give up on hosting the EU servers in Europe. Move the damn things to the US. I get a better ping to East coast US servers from the UK than I do to the EU ones. Plays much better there too, much smoother and more responsive even when the ping is higher than the EU servers (Normally I get 65 to EU and about 100 to US) Today EU(Miller) is varying between 150 and 3000, for me, as others have already stated. Seems like they also have people who know how to configure them in the US as they never seem to have the same problems the EU servers have e.g Login problems etc...
That's a terrible idea. A much better would be to simply find new hosts in Europe. If you are getting a better ping to the US servers outside of the current problems then something is seriously wrong with your Internet.
Same problem here. Currently in the UK where my in-dame ping is between 35-50ms usually, is now sitting at 170ms with spikes over 1500. (Miller)
What the hell is going on, just logged off this is totally unplayable, getting spikes up to 4000ms normally get 50-60. Most of my squad was the same.
Not such a terrible idea. As I said, even when the US ping is higher their servers seem to play much better for me. There is nothing wrong with my Internet. Other games, some hosted in Holland and Germany I get a 35 ping to and they play just fine. Seems more like some Network routing issues that SOE seem to have with their EU servers. Couple that with all the other problems the EU servers have suffered and I think it would be much better hosted in the US. Fine if they can sort out the EU problems but they have been problematic in one way or another since the game was released. US servers always seem fine.
