Last night my team and I were playing a scrim on the Dallas private servers. We have 3 people from the west coast and we were all experiencing pings 20-40 ms higher than usual. I was playing scout at 172 ping on bunker. That was not fun. My ping to Dallas used to be around 100. I don't know what changed, but this needs to be addressed if Dallas servers are going to be TPG standard.

I'm sorry Alaska is closer to Russia than Dallas.

Was actually bad for me too.  Went from ~70-80 ping to ~120.

Actually seemed like the server average ping went down by moving to west, although there were 4-5 people on west so playing on east may have had a similar result.  Either way when the most "fair" option of central is the worst ping on average, we've got problems.

We'll see what we can sort out.  Remember that this is a relatively new problem, and that Central servers were perfectly fine through Season 1 and the majority of Season 2.

Weren't those all different servers, though?  We sure don't have NY anymore and I'm hazarding a guess that these are different dallas servers, though I could be wrong.

I'm fine playing on 100 ping. I am not fine playing on 170.

The majority of Alaska has fiber optics that end around the Seattle area making that our "realistic," location when it comes to latency.

 

As for lag mine seems to have leveled out but recently I have been being spared from the horrid packet loss I have been experiencing. My ping is actually about 20 higher on west than it usually is. About the packet loss though, now after 20 or so games packet loss free my mmr has gone up nearly 100 and my mechs handle the way they should. There is no comparison between the play with the packet loss and without it. It was physically making boosting and dodging in any mech near impossible because of constant boost stuttering, stopping for no reason and dodges going absolutely no distance while still invoking the cool down. I sincerely hope that this problem will stay gone because I'm as of right now beginning to enjoy the game as I used to.

So.. If I'm following dustin's chain of Dallas proximity correctly, does that mean Dustin's mom lives in vermont? And the next player to complain about Dallas ping will be in... Burmuda? Or Vietnam? Nope. The Easter Islands.
Nailed it.

I like going against the best of any game I play. Helps you in the long run n motivates u to do more. Always room for improvement not failure

Because Dallas is the center of the world america, problems must occur symmetrically. The next people experiencing problems will be a New Yorker, a Canadian and a polar bear (swimming).

 

Please see proof below.

This is what kept me from buying a pioneer package. I was too leery about dropping that much money and then not being able to play on my own server. I live on the east side and I avoid ashburn like the plague. The 66t ones worked but I guess they're gone now. Dallas was working ok but not lately. Anymore, if I lag even once I just leave. EOC repeater is a nightmare under these conditions.

It's not great but it's playable. 170 really isn't.

Just starting today I'm getting 180-200 ping on all ashburn servers. This is about 50-70 ping higher than it has ever been with nothing going on on my end to increase my ping. I then went to try and find another game and got into an LA server at which the game would let me in and then synch for what I was assuming would be forever but I left the game and rejoined instead of waiting more than 30 seconds. I tried this 3 times in a row and the problem occurred every time. This is getting quite frustrating and I hope it gets fixed in the future.

 

Alright so after waiting to launch as somebody suggested it eventually did allow me to play but to my surprise my ping on LA has also jumped up a solid 80 ping. This is also after I attempted to join an ashburn server again and got the message saying my mechs were all expired test drives. It seems there is nothing wrong with my mechs right now but I don't see myself enjoying the game anytime soon with these higher pings. This problem just began occurring for me as of today as far as I'm aware. I hope these problems get worked out eventually but I'll tell you what I'm not leaving. I will continue to promote and play the game as long as the universe physically allows me. I've been here this long and a ping spike won't drive me off, a fix however might make my stay a lot more comfortable. Long live hawken
