proxy and vpn tunnels sometimes just give an illusion of snappiness, like you feel your skills come out faster

but between client and server, the lag the almost the same

the best latency to US form MSIA . is around +-200ms .

if you get 2xx ms latency mean it is really good already .

You will need be in USA if u want less than 100ms in games .

more abt latency
http://www.ultima.com.my/knowledgebase.php

this weekend i'll try out ultima trial account. Then maybe I can tell the difference. But then again. if it's just 100ms lesser, i dont wanna pay RM12.5 for it. maybe i'm a newb in this network thing despite being major in that =x

100ms lesser will make u win the PVP lol hehe

not if i noob hehe. i only PvE for now so maybe no need to use. When i get serious in WvW then maybe =/ but this weekend i'll pm you for a trial. I would like to compare then support local proxy sellers than those that i already know which are prolly from US.

Yes can get 200 or below is Godlike connection from Malaysia to US already

But, I still don't know how you get 30-40ms ..

maybe i did not at all. =/ again, what's the thing to test? the what what resolution thing is it. lol.

Is pinging guildwars2.com a good indication of the latency ur getting in game?

I'm getting about 270-290ms with unifi5.

I can't see the ping in the performance tab like most ppl recommend, i think need windows ultimate for that.

the website is not same address as game servers

is there a proper ip we can ping at all lol.

is there a ingames latency meter in GW2 ?

no that's the problem.

I read in beta u could do this to show ping in game:

Add -perf to the end of your launcher like this.

"C:.....Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe" -perf

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Command_line_arguments

Haven't tested if it works for release version.

Are you using Windows 7? You can check the ping by using Resource Monitor, start task manager and open Resource Monitor. Then go network area tick the GW2.exe and see the TCP connection... you will see the ping there unless you are using third party connection.

If you are using third party connection such as WTFast ...UltimaProxy..LaglessProxy.. or whatever, then just tick the corresponding .exe
and see the latency there.... if the latency is 250ms, then you need to add another 30-50ms for the proxy to GW2 server.

For example:
Your House > Proxy Server (250ms) > GW2 Server (50ms) = total is roughly 300ms

Also, if your Proxy Server is the Local Malaysia Proxy (probably 30-80ms)... but not West US Proxy, then you need to add another 200-250ms
for the local proxy to reach GW2 server.

Btw, I have the server IP, but I left it at my home.

mind sharing back at home in this thread? If cannot then maybe pm? =x
Thanks for that. I'll do it tonight with the other proxy first hehe.

im getting over 1k latency whenever i play ... using streamyx 4mb

i using Toshiba Satellite L755 to play gw2 with merely 10 - 15 fps after i set to high performance power option and set high priority to gw2 process

can anyone advice me how to reduce the latency??

Actually there's soooo many server oh..... I only have Sea of Sorrow's server IP.

Btw, you can get the server IP from Resource Monitor, there will be 2-3 IP addresses in GW2.exe... each for login server, main server ...etc. But don't use any proxy/vpn...since there's 2-3 IP it will be 0ms if you use proxy and you won't know which one is the main server IP.

Note: To differentiate between the IP, just observe the one that is constantly changing up and down ( <if you see that..then its the server IP ).

your laptop is very low spec

maybe upgrade
