Australian Test Gateway Feedback (Updated)

wow.

WOW!!

Sydney here ADSL 2

So this is what it feels like to play without latency issues.

30-45 PING is so awesome, the game feels so smooth now.

WOW! Definitely very impressed.

I did notice some lag spikes like people were talking about even though F1 didnt show any spikes (though it may be a side effect of never playing on 30 ms before)

Naw it's definitely more than that. Now that people mention it, the ping itself doesn't visibly spike, so it's something else.

It seems like resyncing, violently.

played about 10 minutes more.

You are right.

There is a 1-2 second delay then a CRAZY RESYNC PAUSE and FAST FORWARD then everything is back to normal.

Weird desync o.o

Don tknow how to explain it, but violent resync does sound right.

confirm crazy desync


low ping but crazy desync

Only tested briefly so far, both in Hardcore and Default (not that it should matter).

My details:

Location = Adelaide, South Australia
ISP = Telstra
Type = Cable (HFC) http://www.telstra.com.au/internet/home-broadband-bigpond-ultimate-plans/
Speedtest (when playing) = 16ms ping, 14.5Mbs down, 1.1Mbs up

Latency to other servers:
SG = ~100ms
US = ~250ms
EU = ~340ms

Latency to Australian Server: ~50ms, sometimes up to 65ms, occasional spike to ~350ms.

HTH

30 ping with orcon fibre in auckland, occasional lag spikes but all is well.

Jeeeez am i sitting ontop of the server? Im getting 16 ping (Melbourne, Australia)!!!!

I cant say how refreshing it really is to be able to click on an item and have it instantly pick up.... Its bizare! I am proudly putting AU infront of my public groups to see if any other aussies/nz players want to join. I am really happy this is starting to get done.

There is ofcourse the very frequent spikes. Things just stop moving completely. for about 3 seconds. Thumbs up guys. I definitely approve! Have my babies?

Im with Telecom in Wellington. Getting 60-80ms with constant spikes every 45 seconds to minute and a half where it will jump up to 200ms-800ms for roughly 0.5-1.5 seconds. I have attached below my pathping report. If you sort out these random jumps I will literally jizz, my mind was blown when I first logged in, I can't believe the difference from my old 280ms+ it's godtier.

Even just simple things like loading into zones is amazeballs. WTB MORE. You have started us on a slippery slope, if you take them away....the withdrawal symptoms would cause rioting. Or so i think.

Averaging approx 50ms latency from Tasmania, Australia. ADSL2+ connection (very poor connection 5000mb/ps)

Running perfect, on par with all other online games with Australian servers.

For reference on my connection:

Europe: 350ms
America: 250ms
Singapore: 120ms
Australia: 50ms

Can't thank you enough for this - it honestly makes a large, and very impressive difference.

Here's my pathping to au.login.pathofexile.com

definitely some pack loss
