SINGAPORE 6 LAG TO US AGAIN!
RE: SINGAPORE 6 LAG TO US AGAIN! - Tech - 11-12-2016
Hi, I think for you last connection you were playing on a different location than Los Angeles.
I had a look and it seems that you connected to two locations in the USA the other day one LA one not, which would have added around 40ms+ to the ping.
Sometimes with cross-realm activity you will be placed on a Datacenter on another Location in the USA, you won't always get LA especially in places like Arena if you vs a team whos relam is not US West.
RE: SINGAPORE 6 LAG TO US AGAIN! - elspeth - 11-12-2016
r u sure? i think you better re-check the routes and paths from sg 6 to US again.
for LA / US West coast instances, i used to get as low as 180-200ms. now i'm getting like 200-220. it makes a diff in the game mate.
c'mon i'm sure something was changed somewhere, all you gotta do is revert the changes as it affects the latency for end users like me. probs some tweaks , changes were done on the server side...
for US East coast instances which are further i used to get like 230ms now its 250ms++... there sure as [censored] is a diff now... noticeable difference...
or has the routes/peers along the route to US from this svr SG6 changed? eg. like your reasoning you gave for the routes to aus, syd? to HK and then down to perth, etc......
RE: SINGAPORE 6 LAG TO US AGAIN! - Tech - 11-12-2016
It is higher than it was a while ago as the West-Coast realms in the 180's which is more inline with the other Singapore servers, I do remember it been a little lower than the others to the LA realm.
And about 227 for SG6 to the Wow Servers When i tested tonight.
Do you have a low ping to any of our West-Coast server, there might be a different way to connect to the two regions if you do.

so whats causing it to go higher than it was? Pls investigate further into this man! i don't pay for BP sub when it's not helping one tiny little bit at all... sg6 is the lowest by far out of all the sg BP svrs to US instances svrs...
i think it could be due to the route the isp of sg6 has taken to the US. it might have changed.
i've tested with all sg BP svrs and sg6 still gives the lowest lat out of all of them... sg2-6... irregardless of US east or west side instances... i knw which side i'm connected to as i'm an experienced wow player.
don't ask me to connect to US or Aus BP svrs as that is a foolish idea. i wouldn't want to get 200+ ms when connected to oceanic svrs and neither is the route from sg to aus BP svr to US optimal. hence only sg BP servers are an option for me.

.... and what is this " diff way to connect to " that you speak about?
RE: SINGAPORE 6 LAG TO US AGAIN! - Tech - 11-13-2016
By Diff way to conenct I was going to check if I could make work exclusion of the Oceanic Region.
I though you had posted previously you get around the 100ms mark normally to Australia Servers without Battleping.
I was going to see if I can exclude the Oceanic Region so you connect normally and only Battleping the the USA connection.
But if your ping is in the 200+ region then that is not an option, and Singapore location must be used.

No, you're right. I can get as low as 100 sometimes even 90+ when i connect directly without using BP to oceanic/australia. that's why i don't need BP when connecting to oceanic/australian realms or instances, eg. bgs... arenas... It's only the USA part.
This is interesting... i never knew you could only tunnel partially by choice only to the US. How exactly does this work, and will it work? I'd still need to be connected via the battleping client right?
If i connect normally how do i battleping only the USA connection? By exiting/closing wow and reconnecting via the BP client after selecting a BP server? this is not viable mid game.
If i'm halfway thru connected to a bg or arena instance, this would cost me a match or even if it's a dungeon or raid, would cost me a wipe and kick if i were to close wow/exit wow and re-enter,reconnect via BP.
I'm only able to tell what instance i'm connected to - USA or Oceanic after i join the instance and am in it. so tunneling, BP-ing has to be done pre emptively beforehand.
If i'm thinking what you're thinking, i'd also need to manually test out each and every single one of the BP USA servers currently in order to be able to tell which one provides lowest lat to both east and west coast instances as you know the way blizz assigns geo located instances are random most of e time for US.
It will be tedious but i don't mind testing. this can only be done once i'm in a bg or arena which i'm mostly in wow for. as all i queue for are these 2.
Pls enlighten me lolz. i'd like to hear more.
please enlighten me what is this alternative way of connecting.

No, i'm not getting 200. you completely misunderstood me here on this pt.
i'd only get 200 if i were to connect to Oceanic via a USA Westcoast BP svr. I'd be making one entire big round trip to LA and back down to Syd. Get it?
btw, i'm playing wow primarily on Frostmourne US .

Replace this folder named bp with the one in the battleping folder:
(after you unzip or extract it)
http://battleping.com/setup/bp.zip
I did some testing but only limited amount in Wow tonight,
Yes you do connect to Battleping like normal,
When connected to Aus realm it should switch to your ISP connection and when on USA switch to Battleping.
Quickest way would be to make a lvl 1 on Oceanic and a lvl 1 on an East Realm for a rough idea.
But probably only worth testing if you get a decent ping to a West-Coast server.

I justed tested a few US West Coast servers when connected to a US instance, East & West. They were about the same as SG6... latency wise.
In all essence, why don't you just check on what has changed over the past couple of weeks for SG6?
I'm pretty sure something was altered somewhere somehow over the past 1 wk or so as you've also admitted the latency is higher than usual in yr prev post.
SG6 is by far still the most optimal and convenient and gives the lowest lat. USA or Aus. it satisfies both conditions in the equation cos it provides low lat for both.
Just revert SG6 to what it used to be about 2 wks ago. Look at the logs or history or something... please. or maybe even as far back as a mth ago...
Highly suspect it might have somethin to do with the isp for SG6 and their routings... definitely taken a diff path.
There is somethin special about this SG6 that other servers do not possess... so pls keep it up...
probs due to the microsoft routes
RE: SINGAPORE 6 LAG TO US AGAIN! - Tech - 11-16-2016
The latency has returned to what it was previously which is a little lower than the other SG servers for Wow.
But its the same situation with the link to Australia, it may not stay that latency at all times and can revert to the latency of the other Singapore servers.
You might be able to check if another service like Battleping can provide you with the same latency permanently.
