NA server has been having a lot of either network or server issues lately.
Friday night on 08/28 pings were fine (seem a bit higher lately), but the server was either lagging or there was dropped packets on the network to reach the server causing frame loss.
Animations were being skipped on my end and key strokes not responding immediately.
Any traces I did showed no packet loss but packets were delayed.
here is my latest trace from Austin Texas to Chicago..

when it hits the cogentco network shit gets shady. Maybe someone with some more network knowledge might chime in. I know there was a huge outage earlier this week on several of the large networks which might cause routing changes and issues now.
shit is getting too annoying. High ping is one thing, but when you start getting packet loss or major jumps then playing gets too unpredictible.
