Zioma 1 Report post Posted January 3, 2017 By looking at the guild forums about half or so of all guilds are from North America, and at PST evenings the pvp server has around 7k population. There is no doubt that many NA players play here on Nost/Elysium. So my question is, what is your ping? I live west coast by seattle area and im getting around 160-170ms with DSL 50mb down/20mb up. Thinking to switch to a fiber ISP but I dont know if that will lower the ping. I can live with 160ms but if there is a way to drop by 20-30ms, why not try it. I've heard that some people in California are gettting low as 130ms. What do/did you do to get the lowest latency possible? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Fapmonsoon 14 Report post Posted January 3, 2017 I'd be interested to hear any input on this also. I stand around 150ms which is ok....but will be an issue once I start to pvp with my rogue. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Papalok 1 Report post Posted January 3, 2017 (edited) I live in San Francisco and I'm consistently between 160-170ms. I can't remember what it was on old Nost, but my experience with this server is much smoother. I actually stopped playing on old Nost for about 6 months because the latency issues made PvP borderline unplayable. Of course, that was right when the huge influx of Chinese players started and peak server pop. would reach 20K. I'm pretty sure a different ISP/faster connection is not going to improve your latency beyond what it is now. 50 down/20 up is plenty. I just got back from my parents' place in Colorado and was playing on my sister's crappy laptop using a slower wireless connection and I still had better latency than I do here. You could try Leatrix Latency Fix or do as I did and edit the registry files yourself (make sure you know what you're doing) but honestly the change for me was minimal at best.

Klimpen 1 Report post Posted January 3, 2017 Do a speedtest to one of your local servers and check what ping you get. and open CMD, input: tracert logon.elysium-project.org check and see how many ms it takes for the first few jumps out to your local ISPs servers. It's those jumps that you will be able to cut down to around 1-5ms with fibre optics. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Holkan 13 Report post Posted January 3, 2017 You can do a registry edit and get a bit lower some people get 30-40 lower ping. Heres a video on how to do it on windows 7 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hZLM2nF_7k or if you aren't comfortable editing it your self you can download a program to do it for you http://www.leatrix.com/leatrix-latency-fix It's also hosted on wowinterface if you feel thats more legitiment or afraid its harmful software http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info13581-LeatrixLatencyFix.html 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
