General Discussion - Latency from Australia - Unacceptable. - Forum

I saw no changes using Internode from Sydney to Singapore. If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between. I am Path of Exile's biggest whale. Period.	Posted by Foreverhappychan#4626 on Jan 13, 2013, 4:59:49 PM Alpha Member Quote this Post
There is an issue with some link from perth to singapore. You can read about it in link below, apparently it's due to be fixed in a few weeks time. http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2038586 http://advisories.internode.on.net/item/10735/ But yeah, no point blaming GGG as this one is out of their hands.

As a hardcore player, even 200ms can be hard. Especially with some attacks doing +70% of ya hp lol "I'll just dodge this ice spear, oh, it hit me anyway....gg". Hope in time we can get an aussie/nz server. IGN - Bootloops	Posted by Dracule#7797 on Jan 13, 2013, 5:51:31 PM Quote this Post
It has been stated that the NZ/Aussie providers are like 10x as expensive as the other options and that's the reason why there are no servers for the region.	Posted by ErrorCode#4499 on Jan 13, 2013, 6:27:08 PM Quote this Post
I understand why there is no servers in Aus/Nz. But i still hope for one lol IGN - Bootloops	Posted by Dracule#7797 on Jan 13, 2013, 6:48:15 PM Quote this Post
" MEnoSEEyou wrote: I simply will not play PoE anymore if things do not improve with time, 300ms+ in a ARPG is unacceptable - f2p or not. Call me old fashioned but i simply will not spend money on a product that doesn't appropriately support its customers and while PoE is primarily F2P is does support pay store/options. Look here GGG, i honestly love your product but i can't help but feel a bit of deja vu as Australian and NZ players continue to get the short end of the stick when it comes to online gaming. Now, im not saying this to be negative or for the sake of it, i simply want to bring light to this issue. Networking issue > everything else. ( IMO ) You should seriously mind your tone :/ Threatening to stop playing never helped (neither you, nor anyone encountering this issue). I guess it is clear by now the issue is on the ISP side. Take care out there.	Posted by Lagruell#1960 on Jan 13, 2013, 7:32:57 PM Quote this Post
Yeah, was playing last night as a marauder on ruthless with a constant 330 ping at Sydney using TPG. Getting 1 shotted by the latency is a norm now. There's not much you can do about it, except for play ground slam as a ranged attack and spam pots hoping the game doesn't tell you you're dead. MCAussie MCServer. MCWin.

" Sable wrote: From what I have been reading elsewhere, a few days ago we lost our link to the Singapore submarine link, traffic was going the long way around through London as our Sydney to Hong Kong submarine link also happens to be down... So far as I know, we are currently being routed via Japan to get to Singapore which is causing massive latency. I do not know when this will be fixed... my ping to Singapore is currently about the 400ms which is almost unplayable to be honest. This makes sense as I have the same ping (300+ms) via each of the Singapore, America and Europe gateways. Not much GGG can do about this.

Meh, drop a TP at the start of the harder levels, and don't play hardcore. Price of a fun game. Hope they fix it eventually. I dropped 100 bucks into this game, may as well get what I paid for. It's entertained me more than Diablo 3. MCAussie MCServer. MCWin.	Posted by McNuggetz#4711 on Jan 13, 2013, 9:13:41 PM Quote this Post
