Guild Wars 2

My usual ping to guildwars2.com is 70~74ms, but for 7 hours now, it’s been at least 90ms (i use the ping -t guildwars2.com command in command prompt)

I know what you’re going to say, you’ll say guildwars2.com is not the same as the game servers, but that’s the thing, i looked up my ping to various map IP addresses (looked them up using resource monitor) and all of them had increased by 20~30ms just like guildwars2.com

What is going on???

here’s a little ping plotter just to prove my values

This is a ping plotter to Guildwars2.com

and this is a ping plotter to the IP of one of Divinity’s reach instances.

Are you using wireless? The ping to your router is rather high. A wired connection should be <=1ms.

If you actually want to monitor your ping, you’re going to want to actually record the full route like those ping plotter results so that you can compare each hop. There’s too many variables to judge it solely on the ping. Also, with that many hops in your route, +20ms really isn’t that much. Maybe it’s just more active, increasing delays by 1-3ms per hop.

I am aware that wireless adds more, but i’ve tried it with wired before that and the results were the same, i just happened to not have a wired connection when i made this post.

My ping has always fluctuated between 85ms and 110ms ingame, now it’s 110ms to 140ms, regardless whether i use a wired or wireless connection, and across multiple devices.

Having said that, as you see, the high ping starts at this ion12.ipv4.gtt.net and stays that high consistently across the following hops.

Used to be 69~74, now it shows ~100

That’s the point where you leave your ISP’s private network and enter gtt’s network. You could complain to your ISP about it if you really wanted to. It could simply be that gtt’s network is under load or maintenance, or it could be more business related, as in we want more money or we’re going to give you a poor connection to our network.

As for the jump from 30-40 to 100 entering gtt’s network, that hop is located somewhere around London, then goes off to Frankfurt. A ~60 ms jump implies a bit of distance, which I’m guessing is from Egypt. That’s normal.

Distance is not the factor here, because it was the same provider over the same bandwidth at the same distance before it went up, it just happened all of a sudden, like in an instant, it was pinging 70…71….71…70…..then BAM….90…95…..95…98….95….99…..102….96..
and hasn’t moved back since.

any other opinions???

Well I know my ping is higher than usually too, from 150 to like 190 and lag spikes

Ive been disconnecting from the server all night, it never usually happens to me
