Been like that since last patch, sometimes I can't even "see" NA 1 battle, whats strange is only happens in this game and once I've actually connected my ping is fine and no connection issues?

every server shows a ping of at least 200 with most crpg being near 1000 ping(on the list), could this be some kind of router settings?

Its been like that for about 2 weeks, annoying, I also tried it with non-steam or steam version of game, same results

I don't think its a bug, I think maybe I have some setting wrong or something, I have a wired connection

dude, I'd like your problem instead of mine ;P
I mean I have the backwards stuff.
in the server list it shows me around 40-50 pings, but on one of 'em I have like 100-180.
it's been like that for 3 weeks.

I'm about to kill myself or my provider

The server list never shows my right ping. It's always lower in game, usually...

You are querying the server that queries the other servers. Its taking an extra 80-90 ms to process, which is getting tacked on to the total ping. When you connect to the server, it is direct, not through the server browser and so you see your actual ping to the server.

Yes, I just assumed that as the game was loading I had a connection spike.
And how!
