decide to play this game instead of secret war.

anybody play this game using laptop?

looking for low heat laptop.

currently using dell inspiron n1150. very very hot.

i'm also playing with laptop for now.

asus n53sv. runs the game fine on medium settings.

saving for a new desktop now though.

as for latency there are no noticeable lag at all. lag spikes do happen, very very rarely.

mostly after work I play got around 280~350ms.... played at night... using Ping/Latency reducer (similiar to VPN but works on games .exe, does not changer your IP - paid) got around 200~230ms

First time I heard of this. Sounds really interesting since it works for game only.

Is it a service like VPN? May I know which thread or website you buy from?

Thanks. notworthy.gif

GW2 datacenters are located in Dallas, Texas I believe. Lowest ping possible should be about 230?

i tried WTFast and smoothping but no effect at all on latency. So if anyone can suggest any other tunneling/proxy service that actually work, I am truly grateful.

the difference is when I activate a skill in sPvP, I want it to go off instantly - waiting ~1 second for it to go off makes the combat extremely frustrating and sluggish. Turns me off completely.

Depends really, sometimes it's pretty bad. Freezes up, no movement from character for a few seconds. Happened maybe 5 times to me last night.

1 second delay means 1000ms ping oooo.

300 - 500ms ping would means 0.3 to 0.5 seconds delay.

yeah its is actually a VPN but more application specific (some called it proxy tunneling)

you can try GW2 supported service like LaglessProxy (Malaysia based proxy), WTFast, Fixmylag, etc

Can you try look at the latency in Resource Monitor without those program and with those program.. Its pretty impossible that you didnt feel the effect at all since both site you mentioned is pretty reputable and I tried both and works with Aion before getting into GW2, theres bunch of servers you can choose which server is better for you.. AFAIK, Smoothping isnt officially support Guild Wars 2.... thats why it got no effect..

Since these Ping/Latency reducer works differently than VPN.. it is VPN but its application based.. but it does not mask/change your IP and it detects supported games that you launch

Still waiting for more latency reports, high latency turned me down in many games. =(
Anyone tried lagless proxy? Care to share experience?

Thanks for your reply biggrin.gif

That means if for example I use lagless proxy, it will only affect Guild Wars 2, but other stuff like browser and MSN won't go through the proxy right?

Yeah, It let you choose which application should use the Proxy/VPN instead of everything smile.gif


Btw, I'm going to try LaglessProxy tonight smile.gif and see if it can pull my ping to 200ms
