High Ping (400s) in evenings (European Time)

[Mignart]

Hey everyone,

I am just wondering if anyone else experiences these issues? Evening times in European time zones have been giving me ping over 400's, crashes while zoning and even taking 30 minutes at times just to connect to the servers.

Anyone?

Try playing from a pal's house, or using McDonalds wifi - see if you notice any difference.

I have found the server here in the US, Ohio, to be stable as heck. Nowhere near that sort of pings. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

yes, thank netflix, the transatlantic pipes can't handle the load of the web anymore, no one wants to pay for traffic, we get peered through low priority pipes which gives us high delay times and packet loss during prime time which results in these crashes while zoning.

[Mignart]

Oh well that just sucks. When it does work, I zone in, crash when zoning, spend 30 minutes trying to reconnect with crashes at character select or enter world.

If I am lucky enough to get in, then I have to pray I dont zone again or wait another 30 trying to get on.

Oh, and also character screen appears to be empty half the time, the other half, telling me I need to update the files.

Real annoying.

Used to happen to me a lot when I had a weak internet connection. Sucks a lot, sorry to hear you have this issue.

I changed my ISP and got rid of those issues (also euro).

Funny thing is, I did some more testing last night, and this only appears on Red server during this time. I was playing on Blue (only by force) during my battle with connecting to Red and had a steady 70ms with no issues.

Any thoughts on this? It's definitely not my ISP as Im running on 50mb line which I consistently test.

Move the box to London, I want to enjoy that low ping y'all get
