Hey guys! Been a silent reader in the thread. Good to know more and more people are playing. To those who are willing to pay for ping boosters, ditch WTFast. Use Battleping instead. More stable eventhough UI is not that friendly. If you're willing to spend more, go for top notch VPN providers.

doubt it's going to get any better than that. Even with vpn routing you're still directing your traffic half way around the world.

Gaming vpns are meant to reduce the packet loss and shorten the distance by selectively routing traffic. It can only do so much when the server is so far away.

This. Despite the connection that we have here and the VPNs we use, we have to consider the ISP. I think we can get best around 200ms+. I'm getting 203ms to 215ms. Battleping really helps get rid of the stutter and packet loss, I guarantee. No lag. But just delay, which sucks during Arena.

I tried using wtfast trial. server texas 4. still feel the lagginess. then i tried pingzapper trial, only then my combo feel smooth. though on paper the ping almost the same. i dunno what went wrong with wtfast. so i just sub pingzapper 30 days for $4.

Many people are reporting WTFast being unstable in-game. The UI and all are good but what's the point. Plus, WTFast doesn't have the free version anymore. 100% paid service. You need to use the manual config to get the smooth connection. However, to me not as smooth as Battleping. I can't say for Pingzapper because I don't use it. Ping boosters really depend on your physical location too. For us Malaysians, I don't think it's really good.

If you play Summoner, Force Master or Warlock, I think 200~250ms still tolerable for PVE. Most Malaysia are aware of that, I still playing both NA and TW server

I agree. KFM is the worst for high ping. How's TW for you? I just downloaded again (Played last year or year before) and tried this morning. Had 35-60ms ping. Dang effing nice. Wish it was like that on the official English one.

Hey guys, after some time playing (since launch), I think I'd prefer to go back to TW. I know despite NA being English and the community speaks and we understand. As far as gaming is concerned, I think ping is the major factor. Plus, TW version of the game is definitely far ahead. However, I'm still contemplating. Because I just don't really like the TW being not english and needs to be translated but I do like the responsiveness (with Battleping, I'm getting 40ms) and in NA I get 200-250ms which is a huge turn off when playing especially during fights involving lots of players. The connection just doesn't keep up.

So what do you think? Is it worth getting back to TW? I've invested in the Student Bundle and levelled up to 45 HM1.

Are you playing alone and is your class ping dependant?

For me all my friends refused to play on TW server, so I have to bear with 200+ms ping.

If you're playing ranged class 200+ ping is still playable, if you wanna play melee better move to TW.

Edit: And its also so much nicer to be able to communicate with others during dungeon runs.  tongue.gif

That's the thing. I'm playing both KFM and BM. People said, yes they're ping dependent. So I tested it myself. Downloaded back the TW and kept the NA. Played them alternately and HOLY ***. I'm telling you, the BM's Pierce in TW server is damn fast. Like 4 times as fast than I Pierce in NA. I just see so much that I can do with the characters in TW. As much as fun NA can be but it's just too limiting for me.

Playing with just my brother. He's a FM but I wanna let him test out my FM in TW and see. Anyways, quite off topic, do we have MY community there? In TW?

EDIT: And Blackwyrm is just a pain in the friggin' a** in NA with 200-250ms. No way to avoid his roar.

Playing BM in NA. Really a pain in the ass when trying to dodge boss's AoE. Players are saying the new tower dungeon is easy. I am already struggling at level 2. Guess I am too noob  laugh.gif

Feel itchy to test out TW after learning the basics in NA. Wonder if TW still has active players who do low levels dungeons though  hmm.gif

You can join me. I'm starting fresh. Yes, you have the basics in NA, you know what to do in TW and levelling becomes very fast.

I'm still playing FM on Junghado NA though.

I don't read Chinese but it's the top most server on the list.
