Anyone else having problem from philippines? My internet is fine, speed test, dota 2 and even world of warcraft which i have 160 average ping.

From the past I mostly got 200 ping average in gw2. Now its around 400 – 1k ping, this is every night. Past midnight my ping goes back to 200 again.

Same here, Im also in the Philippines – kittens Occidental, Bacolod. My ping is solid at 200-280 for a whole month. Then just today i spike up to 1,500-3k for no reason at all. Pldt seems stable since I still get to stream 720p no probs. 3mbps plan. I have yet to find out if my ping will remain like this until the following day. I am just hoping this is not related to our ISP because that would be a bigger problem.

Use speedtest.net and test your ping/speed to the Austin, TX server in the US. That should give you an indication of whether or not its your connection to the server, or something your ISP is doing.

Best bet is to run ping plotter. Much more detailed and accurate, it will show where the problem actually is. Speedtest would be pointless.

Hi there mautiu, neighbouring country here (East .my and playing on EU) – been having the same issues usually after every patch. Like many here, we know it’s not our connections and imagination and could most probably be something on their end. I’ve attached a picture to see where the packet drops occur, and bear in mind that while it shows a ping just under 300 it’s nowhere near that latency in game (it shows in-game as 400-1000+ spikes), the rubber banding and spikes are so bad that you can only do crafting without killing yourself with a spoon and setting your hair on fire.

I do have to say that when I get the ‘usual’ behaving connection around 260ms it’s quite fun and enjoyable and no quibbles there, it’s just at the precipice of being responsive enough for me not to have a conniption and go Charr on everyone. Also these lag spikes occur in any game mode.

If you want I can write down the ip’s of the servers in question where these lags happen, but I’m afraid that there might be a long list.

Is there no way to hop server connections? I tried logging out but it throws me on the same server ip like 99% of the time but not always.
