Aaand then the shield nerf will hit in a couple of weeks. Ohhhh... the irony... xD
Out of interest, if NA is now being routed through the Netherlands, has the EU tracert changed at all of late? I'm on console so don't know how to check.
Happy to hear your gaming has improved.
As for the ping to Euro, i can only check If I can locate the IP address.
Today though, I can't play the game at all now and a quick tracert shows why;
For reasons I am still waiting to hear from my ISP, my data is being routed from NZ to Sydney instead of direct across the Pacific to California as was previously the case.
The consequence of this is that the next hop is to Akamai in Hong Kong which then routes to Europe and who knows where before it finally reaches PC/NA.
So my packets are taking a world tour before finally arriving in the US.
This is why I can't play the game any longer.

How would a VPN help you with latency? You'll probably take a longer route from your client to the server and back with it, plus some overhead traffic. Blame your region that is like 20 years back in time in infrastructure

It helps some people because it forces them to be routed to an edge node on the Akamai network that is a better path than the one that is allocated to them via Akamai's GeoIP database. E.g. Connect to an LA exit node from Melbourne and you are guaranteed to connect to an Akamai edge node somewhere east coast USA compared to maybe being incorrectly routed through Hong Kong, Singapore or even somewhere in Europe because your IP address is being incorrectly assigned to that area or your ISP having a strange peering arrangement.

Haha this is actually pretty funny, didn't know the ISP:s were that bad is this Australia we're talking about? This problem would be an anomaly in western Europe

I'm starting to wonder if Telstra Global and Akamai have recently made changes that they thought would improve the overall experience but it hasn't worked.. The kiwi's that have posted their tracerts seem to be using telstra.global along their hops too. It was definitely better before when telstra.global connected to a US host before entering akamai

@SirDopey I've messaged my ISP here in NZ to ask why they have started routing US IPs through Sydney, the opposite direction, rather than through the gateway near Auckland like they used to.
Still awaiting a reply.
That won't help Aussies though. Unfortunately you are stuck with whatever gobbledegook Telstra does with their network.

An assumption that politicians are making is that gamers don't vote.
Anyone in Melbourne going to PAX Australia on October 26?
If so, ask Matt Firor about it
