New Arena connection quality
« on: August 30, 2018, 03:01:43 PM »
Please use this thread to post thoughts on the connection quality of the new test arena we put up.  Nothing in that arena will be counted towards score or points.

We have also disabled perk point requirements in that arena.

It is strictly to test the connection quality from as many as we can get to do so.

Thank you.

Steady 80 ping compared to 60 to occasional 40 in melee arena from NW AR. Flew 30 min no hesitations or jerky moments. Formation with Tejano for a bit smooth as a baby's butt.

Seems the same to me but I can't exit the Melee Arena without ctrl/alt/del.

no issues. Seemed fine to me.

Slightly better pings in the test arena than in the MA.  Network status mostly flat lines in both the test and MA.

Of course I'm barred from entering, but the new place has the lowest ping I ever had to any AH arena  :old:
Seems to be stable as well.

New server location, 50-70, flat line on the status window.

Old server location, 70-100,mostly flat line but with some very small jiggles now and then.

Login in from New England old server 15 hops, new..... 12 hops with more level3 stops but it doesn't seem to slow me any.

New location seems better to me. 30-40 % quicker on average

I'm picking up a lot of time at the Newark1.Level3.net segments.

Same as always, Clouds cause a drop from 60 to 40 fps. Tanks still around 20-22 fps.

That sounds more like an issue with your computer rather than an issue with the network.

Steady 80-100 ping for both
Both under 1ms for delay

(mind you, I have a 300mbps connection)
