Just went on through the Australia gateway. Went into a 6 person party farming docks was getting 350-360ms. Was a bit disappointed.
However I went back on via the Singapore straight after in a 6 person party in Barracks. The Latency was all over the place anywhere from 350 to 650ms. It was pretty much unplayable.
Vodaphone Wellington cable, Wireless router.

Are you sure you were still on the Aussie gateway? AFAIK the way parties work, whoever creates the party - that instance is created on the server they're connected to. Everyone who joins that party afterwards will be playing on that server - it sounds like that first party was on an american server.

That has been my experience as well. That or whoever creates the instance.

It's a good excuse for Kiwis and Aussies to game together. :)

It's whoever creates the instance - I've noticed differences when someone resets instead of me..

Just put AU or NZ in the party name

Awesome.. Aussie gateway! 50ms vs Singapore 150ms. I play solo so can't comment on partying / maps etc. but kudos to GGG!

Edit: Brisbane on ADSL2+ if that matters.

Last time i tried the gateway was when it was lagging every few seconds, Now it is just amazing. Cant wait for it to be for reals.

AWSOME TY SO MUCH

went from 250ms ping

down to 33ms!!!!!!!!!


now the races will be on even ground!

While it's certainly possible to play with 200ms, or even 150ms on a good day, it's like playing a completely different game on the AU servers with 50ms ping. Cheers GGG!

I did still notice a desync, but it was nowhere near as extreme as it would have been previously. That's not to say it's solved the underlying issue on that topic though, I still maintain that packet loss is a big driver of desync, not just collision.

Here's hoping the server stays.

Playing from New Zealand here.

For some reason, my ping via the Singapore gateway wasn't fixed when the cable was fixed and I'd get a better ping to the US gateway.

My ping has gone from 260 to 60 via the Aussie gateway.

I was so excited that I bought the cleave demon claw for my marauder :P

The game is actually quite fun now :)

Such a huge difference

I used the gateway when I was back in Sydney last week. It was awesome. I will move back to Australia for this now.

P.

Ive been playing on the new aus servers hassle free

but anytime I try to race on it, when i enter town i can never leave

its like my character doesnt move or obey any command

soon as i switch servers it works fine, do you know why the race and aus server is bugged like this for me?

Playing on this gateway is like playing a different game. This has got me playing PoE again after a bit of a break over the last 2.5 months :) Loving it!
