Ping rate to servers.

[Zephx]

Does anyone have feedback on why the ping is so high? Even local servers are extremely high from what I have seen from my friends.

Is this because they're uploading content to them or do you believe this is depictive of the real ping we can expect?

I have 55 ping on eu central.

It seems to keep going down, which is looking promising.

My ping to Amazon AWS servers from west coast has always been quite terrible. In another game that uses Amazon AWS hosted servers, I get 120-150 ping without a ping reducer from West to east coast. In New World, I checked the server select and it showed I had 89 ms ping to their Oregon servers when normal ping tests have shown 46 ms or so. I don't get it.

I don't get why Amazon can't fix the tunneling to their servers for certain ISPs or locations. If west coast players can't even get good ping to their own servers, what else is there? I've played on numerous games with even East coast servers where I get a ping of 60 or lower. I would expect more from a big company like Amazon that is deeply invested in hosting cloud servers for a living.

Am I the only one noticing oddly high pings from a server I am relatively close to? (North Cali to Oregon AWS server)

Blame US Internet providers. The constant bribing/bickering over who gets priority on content/traffic just screws over the end-user (i.e. You). If you're getting bad ping, switch ISP if you can. If you can't because ISP monopoly (lol) then resign yourself to using VPN or ping reducers.

Because they can't, it's not a problem they can fix. Unless you call paying all the middle-men ISP's between you and their AZ's a 'solution'.

Obviously they can't fix that, however, I still find it annoying that most other servers I've played on that aren't Amazon AWS hosted have much lower pings for west coasters, and usually others in general. For example, Blizzard has 20ish ping on West, sub-60 on East. A multi-billion dollar company like Amazon should be able to provide a great experience server-wise for everyone, or so you'd think.

Part of this is on the ISP, yes, but if nearly every other server host has much lower ping with my ISP, there is something innately wrong. I'm not the only one that has pointed this out, either. :) A lot of people in Southern and Northern Cali have pointed this out.

I'll just hope that the ping I saw from cloud ping is more indicative of the kind of ping I'll get without a ping-reducer, and if I have to, I'll use a ping-reducer to lower it.

Maybe those numbers are an indication but in the actual server may vary with more or less ping overall.
I have a fwa isp(radio connection) so far i ping 20 or 30 on german servers on bf games/over all,in new world from what i see this morning before work i had 55 in central eu,which is not bad at all for a mmo.

So latest steam charts say there are over 175k players on beta server which might be contributing to latency spikes.

Regardless to make the point more clear if you tried sending a parcel to Amazon and the postal company took the ‘long way’ instead of just sending it then you’d be looking for a new postal service.

US ISP’s have a nasty habit of doing exactly this, sending traffic the ‘long way’ unless somebody ponies up. Don’t expect every service you use to pay for this preferential treatment.

It would be a great laugh in absurdity if it wasn’t such a bleak topic. People getting trans-pacific pings just for going cross-country all because greed can’t be stomped out.

And when stuff like Net Neutrality tries (and fails) to fix it you get half the country voting against their best interests.
