I'm in Australia, on average my ping sits at 250 even in Cyrodiil, but the game is playable, most of the time I don't even notice any lag.
For whatever reason, whether it's this "DDOS" I keep seeing mentioned ir whatever else...for the past 2 weeks I haven't been able to play. My ping is around 500-800 wherever I am, and I'm getting lag spikes that last 10 seconds, constantly.
I love this game to bits and right now it's all I want to play, but right now I just can't. Can I please get some sort of reassurance from ZOS or anyone else that this issue isn't going to be around much longer? Or that it's at least being worked on.
I refuse to believe I'm the only person getting affected.

✭✭✭✭✭You need to do some traceroutes and see where the problem is. Attach them to a ticket and see if ZOS can assist with any suggestions, although discussing it on your ISP gaming or general technical forum would also be worthwhile.1 -

^^ basically this. some certain ISPs (Optus and SkyMesh, maybe others) with the DDOS protection are routing our traffic to NA via HK/Asia which adds a lot of latency (extra 120ms for me compared to 'normal'). The ping-eating tools (BP, Mudfish, etc) do actually help in this specific case, but ideally ZOS or your ISP can fix it.

^^ Something like that will indicate what route your traffic is taking.EP CP160+ Templar, Sorc, NB

You're not the only one. I'm in Oz too and the lag for the last couple of weeks makes me think I'm on the NBN -actually I'm on ADSL2+ and won't see the NBN for 2 more years. I used to get latency in the 250s too - now I'm lucky to get 350, usually much higher. Makes playing damn near impossible. Come on mate give us a fair go!0 -
sneaky_t✭✭✭try a service such as wtfast.. it might solve your problem, it has worked for me in the past but at the moment im not having any issues playing from AUS0 -
GrimClaw✭✭✭It's the routing of your internet provider. Change provider or use VPNs, which may result in massive ping decrease due to changed routing.
In Germany it's 50-80 ping and I'm behind a WLAN Repeater.0
