Sounds like a very good idea to get into Conan again !! PM me folks.
The Ultimate Breakdown
OMG the dream of every European aoc player has come true!!! We will face the invasion with pings of 190-260 ms!!!
HOORAY!
Oh Funcom..you never stop making me love you more and more...And i was about to sub again...
Pfff.. The server change increase ping 40 to 80 ms.. No biggie at all.
Remember the physical location change of the server was a necessity to get AoC on Cross server PvP and single server technology. I'd prefer the latter over 50 ms less pr ping...
The Ultimate Breakdown
dude..going from 40 to 80 ms is acceptable...But from 120 to 200 is UN-PLAYABLE
all have merged into 2 servers..One pve and one pvp
I mean pings have been reported to increase in the 40-80 ms range, and now later today it seems more like an 25 ms addition. In other words did you already have poor latency, it will still be poor... and only 25 ms slower.
I'm ready any moment to sacrifice 25 ms for cross server PvP. It WIL BE AWESOME AND ROCK!! :P
The Ultimate Breakdown
PVP especially needs low ping..Yes i had poor latency due to my location(120ms) and i could easily PVE but not PVP without having those ''moments'' where lag was the reason some skills mis-fired. Still it was sort of acceptable...Now PVE is kind of acceptable and PVP is a NO-NO.
The Ultimate Breakdown
Get a better Internet provider, I´m in Germany and I have 90ms ping.
There were days I had 250ms ping with my other provider and it was also playable with no problems.
I find people funny who complain about 1/4 second delay, it´s nothing.
You know what´s unplayable? SWTOR ,things popping up after 10 seconds standing beside an invisible vendor, or abilities casting 2 seconds after I hit the key. That is something to complain about not a 1/4 second ping.
You made me stop reading your post right there buddy. Internet provider has NOTHING to do with the fact that the physical location of the server moved a few thousands miles away. In addition the upload bandwidth of the server plays a significant role. I had 120 ms and now i got 190 ms and that is the difference of Europe and USA in miles. I ve been playing many US located mmos for years and i always had similar pings. There is no internet provider that can diminish the factor of distance in lag.
I play LOTRO and i always get 190-220 ms and the game is playable.But not the monstrer pvp. The few lag spikes that can occur make a big difference. On PVE most mobs are predictable so even if you are lagging you can actually ''beat'' the game.So AoC pvp is out of the question now for us eastern europeans.
Seriously you think there is an internet provider in Eastern Europe that can give us a below 100 ms connection with the US**?
**P.S. and of course not all of us can afford an expensive internet connection.I refer to your average package which are fine for 99% of the games we play within our continent.
Best connectivity i ve seen so far with AOC is 175ms with a 50mbs VDSL line. WOW EU servers get to 80 ms with the same line.
Age of Conan is more graphical than Borecraft, Of course Borecraft will have a lesser ms load rate. You should know by now that the more pixels it takes to load, the more ms (latency) you'll have. The U.S companies are finally bringing their servers back to where they belong, it might suck for you, but that is how it goes. I'm happy that these U.S companies(or their U.S branches) are finally doing this. Funcom has done good with this, and I do feel for you Euro people. The technology that they are using now will become better and I am positive that in time, your latency will be just as good as ours, and in some cases, better (depending on your mbps)
US companies, probably, though I'm not sure.
Funcom, however is a Norwegian company located in Oslo
And that's bad?
they were in oslo i think they changed their place to switzerland read it once, cant remember anymore where
