nope, just a warning for any other aussies etc who are thinking about paying to be screwed over by lag. I'd dearly love to play it, but with such high pings, its a no-go.
what region are you located in ?? and no, as far as i can find out, the NA servers are just outside of montreal.
Either your connection is screwed up or you're trolling.
Lying is not cool dude.
Im on south america.
LOL, the AU population using japan servers are more than likely on the east coast, which is where the international links head out from, and or using VPN software to boot, or worse still just accept the 90's grade ping because there is no other choice.
Your the only troll here, comming to the thread to offer nothing other than suggesting using 3rd party software to connect to a game with limited server locations.
being a ♥♥♥♥ isn't cool dude.
I stand by my earlier statement, 4 years on and they still have ONLY 2 server locations for an MMO. Their loss and anyone who purchases it should be AWARE they will potentially have far higher than normal pings to play the game. Or is it your against people making informed choices ???
I don't know how many MMOs that have less than 200ms ping for Australia/NZ outside of WoW that has a server here. Like zero? Dota 2 is not an MMO btw.
Informed choices eh? You would be the one readily dismissing information. VPNs are made for the very situation you're attacking.
lol, ya, dota 2 is a MOBA, and infested with the worst society has to offer.
have looked into pingzapper, but it seems to demand steam login ?? is it also only useable with steam as a result ??
WTFast looks reasonable, but pricey for what it is.
not readily dismissing, if you read the thread and actually examine its content instead of seeking to troll, you'd understand the principal involved. Not everyone out there is going to VPN ( or even knows how to ) to play a game that's puchased. Or how about the fact you need to VPN to reduce your ping by approx 50ms in the first place ( which is hardly of use when your base ping is 350ms ) ???, i'd welcome having that discussion also.
This thread is solely about warning those who are AU / NZ about the high ping they are likely to endure BEFORE they make a purchase. If you wanted you could have offered up some examples of which servers you recommend for those who are an extreme distance from the game host locations, or which of said servers have a large english speaking base who are similarly crippled by the higher than normal pings.
If you want to troll, i can dance with the best of them.
I would hate to break it to you but it's been widely accepted for years now that WTFast and Battleping essentially go hand in hand with the service. The main reason being that the Korean and Chinese datacenters are closed to anyone outside those respective countries and there simply not being enough of an AU crowd to justify an Oceanic server.
We can whine, complain and have much gnashing of teeth, but it's wholly unreasonable to expect MMOs of any sort to have servers in every single region, especially when they don't even really market to your region. I live in the Eastern US and I have for decades now understood if I intend to game in something that doesn't have servers near me, I have to compensate somehow, so arguing that VPNs aren't a valid thing to bring up or make people take notice on is kind of trying to make there be a problem beyond a reasonable argument. (For example I have to use a VPN to game properly on PSO2, a game with no servers on my side of the planet.)
People on VPNs are reporting between 90-120 ms pings. So to say they can't provide a significant improvement would be deceptive. Every Reddit and official forums thread on AU gaming for FFXIV recommends the use of one and it's clear by how the players take up well over 50% of the Tonberry server that enough people are willing to put in the extra work.
I would recommend not trying to call anyone who opposes your viewpoint or even gives you the out of saying you weren't informed enough a troll. My problem with you is acting like people need to be warned about something you clearly haven't taken the time to research and thoroughly test, thus leaping to conclusions over. Your starting stance in all this is frankly ruder then I could ever imagine being. Maybe take a step back and show off that chill I usually associate with Aussies that makes me like them so much.
Do some research on Australian telco infustructure before you try to talk about it, Im on fibre (NBN) with 100Mbit download and 40 Mbit upload. And btw, geographical distance is part of the issue, Perth ( my nearest captial city ) is located apporx 3300 Km's from Sydney ( where nearly all out international routing goes ). Long story short, the ISP is not the issue, its geogrpahical distances including the overseas routing.
WTFast was on steam until recently, where it was removed for shady practises. A read of online reviews for WTFast are mixed at best, some claiming its an outright scam, others saying its the best thing since sliced bread. The free trial doesn't even work ( try it, it says your trial time has expired the moment you login after registering ), and this still comes back to the point of having to use a 3rd party app to shave ( at best estmiates ) 40ms - 50ms off my 330ms ping, still leaving me at approx 280ms in a best case scenario.
As far as your reference to Oceanic region and it not having a crowd large enough to entice S-E to set up a dedicated server hardware here, completely understandable, and hence my warning to any other Aussie's / NZ'ers who may be thinking about it. I actually brought the Boxed collecters edition back over 4 years ago, to find the game was nigh on a paper weight. I had hoped in 4 years something had improved, but alas, the general concensus seems to be Tonberry server in Japan for SEA english users. Pretty poor in my opinion, keep the hardware in japan fine, at least set up a dedicated english server for the SEA english community, that is if they want to make money.
If they don't market here, don't set up any hardware here, how can they expect to have any income from here ???, this is a bit like the chicken and the egg debate.
Many have also reported no significant decrease, i'd put to you 50ms off of the 500ms i get connecting to NA is insignificant, the 50ms off the 330ms i get to japan is debatable, but for my standards its a no go still.
I see the buyer beware attitude with steam's user base is still alive and thriving, which is sad when paired with S-E who used to be one of the last bastions of good conduct in trading. You started with the troll comments, about my placing a warning here for the AU/NZ people who are consistently shafted and given the finger AFTER the companies out there take our cash. So sorry if it came back and bit you on the behind.
HAVING to use a VPN package ( at further cost ) is only going to continue to damage the ability of the game to generate income for its makers, supporting this sort of practise is reprehensible itself.
as a returning player, still having to resort to VPN to even properly stay online after all this time is sincerely staggering. when i used to play i used WTFast but i don't feel like double dipping in sub fees anymore. i honestly figured it'd be okay by now.
i have a 100ms connection and i'm getting bombarded with 90001/90002 with ports forwarded, both firewall on and off.
gonna call my ISP later.
