Guild Wars 2

I just checked my current ping is a flat 340 ms. Is this good or bad?

Shouldn’t be higher than 60ms.

340ms is bad, but if you’re playing from Oceania to NA that’s almost normal. My ping is about 300, 250 if I’m having a good minute.

lan or below is ideal, 80- is standard, 120-is the worst you can really deal with unless the game has some broken lag comp. 340 is very impaired for pvp.

Shouldn’t be higher than 30.
over 60 its laggy for positions skills.

I am stuck with 100-ish in every game I play

Oh. I’m in the US right now, and play on an EU server. I want to change, but don’t want to spend the money on doing so.

You know, that’s probably why I don’t like the current interrupt mesmer builds. In 3 years of play, I can honestly say that apart from channeled skills that last really long – like a necro’s life transfer – I’ve hardly ever interrupted anyone. By the time I activate the interrupt, the heal is already over

It’s also probably why I have trouble dodging insta bursts – not saying it’s impossible, but people usually always manage to get the first burst on me. So I often have to rely on preemptive dodging. I’ve learned to counter this by building tanky and forgiving builds. I never play glass cannon. Ever.

Wish Anet had free server transfers at least once a month or something.

As an Aussie 240ms is a good day.

Ping isn’t the most reliable indicator. I have had 100 and not felt the effects of delay and sometimes 40 ping but with noticeable delay.

yeah, im in NZ and my house can’t do lower than 200. fiber is coming to our area though so I’m pretty excited for that.

340 is slightly high even for oceania, I’m in australia and average 280-300.
