NA Servers

[Gricks]

I don't know what happened but only on the NA official servers for the last week or so my ping has increased 15-30 and plays way laggier. Every other game/unofficial server my ping stays exactly the same. My speed tests are the same as before, yet on NA I lag like a son of a bitch. Was there a server patch or something?

I don't think it is my end because of ping tests/speed tests/ consistent latency in other games I play. I used to get from 75-80 consistently. Now I'm at a constant 95-100 and I rubberband all over the place. Almost unplayable really. I've reset everything/turned off all "auto-updaters." I've got no P2P programs running and my ping never returns to normal-only on the NA crpg servers. Did the servers get downgraded or am I just being crazy?

I haven't had any issues like that, and I usually do, don't know what to tell ya.

[a_bear_irl]

i've been having the exact same issue, gone through all the "why's my ping fucked up" motions to no avail

edit: i live in norcal and am usually at 75, up to 85-100

[TugBoat]

My ping increased by 10-15. Not major but I still noticed

[TurmoilTom]

My ping occasionally goes up by 50%. It wasn't doing that a few weeks back.

I really want my consistent 19 ping back. ;_;

Crazy

This isn't happening to me, which I'm happy about. My friend up the street 5 minutes walkng gets 20s ping and I get 50s... wouldn't want it higher like I used to have (80s-100s).

[Blackzilla]

My ping now avgs out in the 60-90 range, normally its 49. Also my ping to EU increased from 190 to 225.

[Sarpton]

Glad its not just me then.  But even when my ping is low sometimes its still "feels" like I'm rubberbanding, no idea why .

[Miley]

Oh, that... I noticed that on recent Strategus battles, and I thought it was just some place where equipment disappeared and it was like glitched up ground or something...

[HardRice]

At one point my NA ping increased from 50 to 110-120, for about 6 hours.

On all crpg eu servers my ping is 200.

[Dexxtaa]

Since we're all doing show and tell in our pings; mine sits at 22 where I used to get 9.

[Ganner]

Shutup dex, no one cares about you.

While my ping hasn't really changed, ive been getting some fucked up rubber banding where i'll stay in one spot for 5 seconds, then suddenly be teleported half way across the map.  This fucked me on a couple of major strat battles.

Edit: and that's in addition to the ever present occasional 3 second warband freeze that i still get :/

[Para]

My average ping has been about 5 higher today, sometimes spiking up to about 30 higher. I haven't really noticed a difference in gameplay though.

[Sarpton]

Weird.  Maybe the server has a new hop added?  That might explain the added ping depending on where you live.

[Nightingale]

My ping is still 17-19
