Crazy Ping Spikes

05/31/2007 07:27 xthinhx#1
I've been noticing that my characters are dcing alot from TG lately and decided to watch them in TG for a couple of minutes and I think that the disconnections are due to the crazy fluctuation of the Ping for the characters. For example, the Ping would be at 0060 one second and 1050 the next. So im just wondering whether anyone has experience this problem too. If it is just me then can someone please provide a solution to this problem? lol TG is getting kind of expensive and I'm wasting valuable TGing time disconnected while asleep or at school.

lol. I love it when it does that. When I'd TG way back it'd go from the good 90~ms ping to 1k, to 2k, to 5k, 20k, 30k, 40k, 60k, 80k, dc. xD It's called poor coding.

ooo phew well i guess this confirms that it's not just me =D, however, does anyone have a solution to keep the ping stable so that my accounts can TG in without dcing while im away from my comp?

Same thing happens to me. I'm normally around 600 ping scattering while being stigged by my Tao if I find an empty row of stakes and 1k+ without an empty row. Occasionally it jumps to 5k - 10k ping for a while, and often leads to a disconnect.

IMO the best solution is to keep it minimized while AFK. I find my Ping stays at about 120ish while minimized and I rarely disconnect.
