Hi,

I'm looking for some feedback and/or opinions to diagnose my latency/lag issues whilst raiding.

I play a mage on an Oceanic server and have been having casting delay issues in that spell casting respond a bit too slowly to button is pressed. I know the general consensus is to blame Streamyx or Unifi, but at the same time, I know of some Malaysians who manage to raid comfortably with high-end guilds.

As such, I was wondering whether it's my PC which is the bottleneck now, and whether it's time to upgrade. Present system is an AMD Phenom II X3 710, with 4GB of RAM and ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series graphics card, which I think I bought at the beginning of WOTLK.

Would like an idea from WoW raiders in the Klang Valley what sort of environment - i.e. system specs, broadband type - you're running happily on nowadays. I would like to upgrade, but don't want to overspend on a system as I only play WoW, and no games that require a really high-end system.

Ideally, I'd like to borrow someone's PC at some stage to plug into my broadband connection, to either confirm or rule out that as an issue.... but that's probably not going to happen.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

hello,

i suggest subscribe those VPN service or tunneling.. they said they can lower your latency la, and quite a few of forumers are using as well...

or you can upgrade brodband to unifi???? I m unifi user and able to do LFR without any issue... ping stays in 200ms ( without tunneling).. however, some of forumers here have bad latency when they play wow even they are using unifi....

your call...

i got a fix,
Migrate

The end.

Hi having previously lived in Klang Valley I can say that Streamyx is crap there. I had to use proxy to be able to raid at 300-400ms. If not it be around 600ms. Now I live elsewhere and Streamyx is constant (ie no disruptions) and smooth (raid at 220ms without proxy) (same package).

I suggest before you change to Unifi check that your modem is in good condition (try buying or borrowing a new modem and test to see if it is the same speed). Also make sure nobody else is using the internet when you're raiding. Reformatting your pc might work as well.
