sexydadee Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I'd like to know how you got less than 150ms ping, this 200ms ping from Etisalat is killing me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studioMagicalFox Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I am not from Dubai (would love to visit ) but I wanted to ask. Does it seem to you that using Etisalat is problematic for games in general? Are you having ping problems with other games or just Blade & Soul? If it is just BnS then you are in the same boat as all of Europe, South America, SEA and some of North America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KlausFlouride Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Check with pingplotter. That will show where the bottleneck is. I can play with 350 ping so at 150 you should be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexydadee Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share Posted October 9, 2016 How can I say this, I think I also have ping problems with other games but it is not as noticeable as in BnS because those other games are not as combo-oriented as BnS which requires keystrokes in quick succession. But I'm not entirely sure, maybe it's just BnS' crappy network configuration, that's why I am asking if there is anyone from UAE who has better ping. Maybe I have just bad network configuration, maybe I have bad ping because I did not subscribe to the premium service, etc. BTW, there are only 2 ISPs here and Etisalat is said to be the better of the 2.

Also, your dps will be significantly lower compared to others who have lower than 100ms ping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KlausFlouride Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Most, outside the US, will never see anything below 100ms. You are over 7k km away from the server expect a significant amount of delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexydadee Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share Posted October 9, 2016 In EU, some countries that are definitely 7km away from Frankfurt (game server location) have pings of lower than 100ms. So, I am hoping that there is a cure somewhere. I will check out pingplotter. Edit: I read 7km, instead of 7k. Yeah, 7k is far enough to get you to more than 100ms ping.

Jack Valent Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Playing BM is really hard with high ping. But well I get used to it at 300-400ms already. Quite a struggle hard tanking at ebondrake citadel or duo 4man at ava den. I like this game so I must get used to the all negative thingy came from server.

It's not impossible to play and blocks do register if you time it properly but yes, the DPS is significantly reduced, especially after they did tweaks to Dragontongue's animation last patch.

sexydadee Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 Yes, and therein lies the problem. If you try to time your blocks properly with high ping, you will lose out on dps because you have to stop sooner than usual in order to time the block right. And even without blocking your attack speed is significantly reduced because of the high ping. I have an SF that uses Earth build which is outdps'd by a frost build with 40AP less than me.

I am currently on 12mbps and getting around 180-200ms with ping booster app. I know bandwidth does not directly translate to latency but in this case, i am hoping it will. So i am planning on upgrading my plan. Also, dont play on wifi, make sure to play on wired lan. It lowers the latency alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you can try it for 1 month and see if it improves your ping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
