Is it playable with constant 200ms?

200ms is way too much, imho. Try it, who knows, maybe you're more tolerant to it than I am.

Totally depends on your expectations from a "smooth play".

If you expect to play in a reactive fast manner, then you will be disappointed even with 30ms.

If you are content with a build that has automated defenses, facetanking everything with an AoE covering half the screen.. then you can play with 500ms and your screen turned off.

If it is really stable, it is fine

If desync happens frequently, 50 ms will be hell.

generally 50-60 ms, Italy connections sucks sooo hard

200 ms for me it's simply unplayable. You have a 0.2 second delay between your and mob's actions which can be fatal in most cases, for example when a group of devourers pops under you ass

don't even try with 200 ms

I don't understand how people think 50-60 is bad. I've lived in several different houses using several different providers, and my ping is at minimum 50 in San Diego California... a place with a high population and strong connection to shit.

Also, I play the game around 60ms lag at all times on US instances. I get up to 150-200 in EU instances, it's pretty bad, but it's doable. And I play almost exclusively hardcore. So, yes, you can do it.

From argentina there is always 200ms to 300ms, playable, no problem

45-50 ping solo. 50-400 in a party depending on party server

Depending which character. I can play a cyclonist on 250 but not on 350. I'll play an archer on 350 but more cautiously. I'll play a summoner any time.

200 should be fine man especialy if u are use to ping like this.

i play with a constant 150-250 or so, anything over 250 starts feeling a little choppy, although i do play a leap slamming melee character.



my connection is quite stable at that ping tho

I join instances with 200-300ms all the time and manage without any issues (i.e., there's no noticeable lag? or maybe I'm just used to it). 300 starts getting a bit sluggish, but it's still manageable. I play a cyclonist.

I have really a really good broadband connection though, so I'm not sure if that factors in.
