No no who said 100-200ms is unplayable, I only reported that now there's a higher latency in maps with ip 10.x.x. Just that. I feel some delay during normal gameplay but I didn't say it's unplayable.With that said...I'm happy your latency wasn't affected.

Dear Windfire.9726, While I think you have a pretty valid point with the EU servers, I'm not sure that NA players can make the same complaints.That said, I am not happy things are turning out this way, although I thought a move to AWS might be more beneficial than local servers at ANET.I do acknowledge that the switch to AWS has been uneasy for people here, especially in your case.I do apologize for this situation, though it is not of my making. In cases where pings go into around the 100 - 200 region, I truly don't think it is that bad (still bad).My point isn't to gloat, but to make sure people don't simply say "this is unacceptable that ANET moved to AWS, because I gained 100 ping".Simply put, complaints with "I have 400 ping, ANET plz fix k thkx bye. or i leave" isn't a helpful gauge to tell ANET whats wrong. I think it more constructive for people to continue playing the game, so that when ANET does a load and latency analysis (whenever they would do it) they would see a certain actual set of player hours affected by higher ping.By providing data to ANET, I believe we can substantiate claims where segments of the gaming community were adversely and negatively impacted by such a move to AWS.Your work to point out ping differences between thier local hosted servers and the AWS servers goes a long way to tell ANET there is a difference.Now lets all help ANET substantiate these claims by playing normal hours. Again by doing so we can allow ANET to collect the relevent information needed to make a business decision. Thank you.If you find yourself in NA, gimme a holler.Vox Shatterfall Dear VoxShatterfall, thank you for saying I have a valid point with the EU servers. I know, NA players are in a much worse situation because they totally moved the servers location.You're right about some comments full of rage without info but I think not few, but lots of them are way ok providing info about before and after. Ping for some people is really subjective, like you saying 100-200 is fine. I wish 100 but it's always 160-200. I'm not saying it's unacceptable, I still play and enjoy the game and sure there are scenarios much worse. My situation compared to people with spikes of 1k ping is nothing, but I think I can say my experience of high latency in this thread like everyone else. I don't know how you learned to play normally with this latency, but great, good for you. Just remember not everyone is like you and because you say it's not that bad you can't say it's the same for everyone. Sure one of the best ways is to keep playing the game to show the higher latency in their analysis, which we're doing. But I also think we should say and provide info on the forums about this issue for many players, because this is why the forums exist, discuss about the game. I think people won't get anything if they just shut up, if there's an issue we should say it and if possible provide info about it hoping the team will fix it, simply that. This doesn't smash any door I guess. If you don't care that much about your latency, ignore this thread and play normally like you told us.

Dear Windfire.9726, Look. I'm sorry people are getting more latency, it sucks.I'm not saying you are one of those people who always told me things are how they are, and I'm not saying you shouldn't complain.But what I am saying is the best thing you can do is play and enjoy as much as you can. I'm not happy people are getting higher latency. The higher latency just happens when they move data centers.I'm sorry you feel that the game is laughing at you, and I certainly didn't mean to belittle any of your comments. I'm just trying to say locations are a very hard thing to figure out for data centers. Thank you,VoxShatterfall. Dear VoxShatterfall, don't worry about me, I still play and enjoy the game.I didn't say the game is laughing at me, but you with your comments like we just have to "suck it up". Because if you act like this, you look like you're happy and not sorry. We don't need opinions like these. If you're experiencing the same thing, just say it here because the more we are the more anet can hear us. But please if you have to laugh and say things meaning we're on the same boat, just save it.I don't want to start a discussion. I don't know you but I wish the best for you.I just don't like when someone is almost making fun of something important. About the issue, in EU case the servers are still in Frankfurt, but as I said for some reason servers with ip 10.x.x have higher latency than ip 206.x.x, all this even though they're always in Frankfurt. So it's not a matter of distance since they're still in the same location, always on EU case. In the end there's something that's making these amazon servers acting weird.

Dear VoxShatterfall, since it's clear you were referring to me with that 120 ping, even though I said 120-200, 120 is when the six decide to make me play well, but lots of times it's 160-200, especially the night.In my case I'm an EU player and the servers are still in Frankfurt, but for some reason maps with ip 206.x.x are fine like it's always been for years with 30-40 ms, while maps with ip 10.x.x have constant 120-200 ms, read carefully, not 120 but 120-200.So to concrete facts it's not a matter of distance, since the location is the same. It's definitely an issue with only amazon servers. I don't know it might be an issue with the tracert, nodes...But there's definitely an issue.I don't know where you live and I'm not one of those people who insulted folks like you saying it's your fault, it's your location bla bla...It's a technical issue and you can't just say we must shut up, "suck it up" and play the game bad and silently. Seems like you're just happy that finally lots of people are going to have high latency like you.So since in our case it's clearly a technical issue with these amazon servers and not the distance, always on EU case, let us be active people, complain and say what the game should improve instead of laughing at us. Your comment was totally useless.

I'm an EU player and the issue is the same. I keep having high latency in maps with ip 10.x.x with constant 160-200 ms. While on the other hand, maps with ip 206.x.x, that has been used for years, are totally fine like always with 30-40 ms. It's just when I join maps with this ip 10.x.x that the messed high latency starts...I sent a ticket too, we tried any possible fix "for my connection", but nothing worked. The lag is still here and anet says "it's my connection", even though only gw2 has this kind of issue.
