Lag Issues

I have a 10mbps down 1 up wired broadband ping is about 150ms to boston servers mostly stable and have played mmo's with little issue where there are 200 or so in a full on battle on screen. So it's surprising when there are 20 or more people in this game there is incredible lag sometimes u press and effect is 10 to 15 seconds later making it unplayable cannot dodge cannot move etc. Tried a lot thing none seem to work it plays well when alone or with upto 5 people or so even domination matches are doable. Gauntl is again an issue Dwarven valley icewind and most demonic encounters are a pain sometimes impossible to even get to them while rubberbanding and falling of a cliff or running into elite mobs to discover 45 seconds later you are dead. So i guess not everyone is facing this issue and the forum is for PS4 users. Any ideas or should i just play smaller events when possible or find another MMO. Another reason why i haven't put in real money beyond the early access, I don't know if i will stay since a lot of the content isn't playable for me mainly the endgame content.

  • Are you from boston? Because that ping is horrendous. Anything past 30 is not good.

    No from Asia. So i guess anything above 100ms not possible to play right. I don't think it will ever drop below 100ms. However i haven't faced any issues with other MMO's even with 10 times the number of people in area.

    I'm sure my ping to boston would be similar and I'm in the uk with 80mbps fibre optics. Really you should be fine, but maybe just maybe checking the ping to playstations asian servers might be worth a look. This game does lag for me too though, but only occasionally and its definitely not my connection at fault. I'm no expert though so can't really help any further, sorry and good luck.

    I will add though, my ps3 had problems with an mmo a long while back and setting up a dmz on my router soley for the ps3 to use fixed it so maybe it could help you out. Don't use a dmz for your laptop etc though or you're open to getting hacked very easily.


    ^not really sure why that word is banned but it ends with "acked", lol.

    150ms is not a good ping for online games. Mine is 23ms.
  • We covered that and the reason why its so high. Pretty sure your ping would be just as high if you checked it against a server halfway around the planet.
