If you have a high quality connection, you could actually have a slower connection and still obliterate people who have a much faster connection with average quality connection. Quality is your ping rate, and your Jitter. Don't worry about the packet send and receive. I get packets returned about 50% of the time I do the test. Yet I still kick ass on BL:R. I have B+ connection by the way.
PS I want to post this in that thread but when I want to submit it gives a "Your post contains invalid or restricted HTML code". I can't figure out what part it is, I've removed a couple of things but nothing seems to work
Mmm well, I've done ping tests on pingtest(dot)net and my pings are extremely high (note this is from Joburg and I'm in Cape Town so 50ms? added):
First set of results: - South of EU (Malta) - 331ms - Middle of EU (UK) - 471ms - North of EU (Germany) - 321ms
Second set of results: - South of EU (Malta) - 285ms - Middle of EU (UK) - 482ms - North of EU (Germany) - 291ms
Third set of results: - South of EU (Malta) - 315ms - Middle of EU (UK) - 489ms - North of EU (Germany) - 280ms
Weird that the North is basically the same as the South. Could it be that Germany just have better servers? I know that the UK is a bit to the left in comparison to the other, but that big a difference is abnormal.
I don't really know in what range a connection is considered stable (10ms-20ms?). I guess it might be our ISP. But it will be nice for a Blizz employee to comment on this, since they know, for one, where the EU servers are located and why this might be happening.
Also I've checked that in BF3, when I go to a server in: - Germany - 236-237ms. - UK - 228-230ms. - Italy - 228-230ms.
And I've just played D3 in a pub game with constant 220ms ping (which is good)
FML.
Earlier today I played and the before mentioned ping problems were still occurring ..Man hope it's fixed now...but will post again if it happens again.
Good latency (ping) is typically under 180 ms. I typically get 68 ms when playing Blacklight: Retribution and have some damn smooth playtime. Lately, RCN has been pissing me off with their connection quality as I now get a ping of 90 ms (average) with a very common occurrence of spikes up to 998 ms.
FUCK YOU, RCN!!
I'm seriously considering getting my own internet connection from Verizon or something, while using my phone or a wifi device for 4g connections. Only if they agree to a trial period first. I need quality damn it.
You wouldn't smoke crack laced with shit now would you?

Weird thing happened in D3 today. I was playing my level 52 Witch Doctor in Hell and I encountered the Khazra Key Warden in the Fields of Misery. Is this suppose to happen? I thought only level 60 players can use it thus only appear in Inferno? Or can you collect it in any difficulty and use one of your level 60's to use the Infernal Machine?
Hmm not sure, I think they added it as normal content but unless your MP1 or higher it won't drop a key. On an awesome note I found my first set item in a hour playing 1.0.5. Too bad it was a lame Monk weapon so I didn't hit the big payday.
Yeah I think so too, found the keywardens in Act 1 and 3 (basically skipped Act 2) and didn't get the keys. Do you still have that Monk set item? Lol I wanna see it! You already sold it didn't you?
Lol yeah I got 2 legendaries today with a total of about 5, including these, in about 250 hours total. Also how long does it take you battle.net profile to update? Cause it says my barb hasn't finished Hell (finished 2-3 days ago) and my Witch Doc is level 59 and it still says it's level 51
Edit: Forgot to mention - For some reason when I join a pub game or I start a game and open to pub, my game gets really laggy. I have tested it yesterday and today as well.
- Couple of months back when D3 came out my latency was between 180-200ms for every game. (green bar)
- Now if I play alone it's between 220-300ms (green/yellow bar).
- If I play pub game it's always between 300-500ms with spikes of 5-10 seconds up to 1000+. The spikes are in all the games now.
I'm not downloading anything when I play and I ran speedtest.net whilst playing and it's fine. Any ideas why this might be so?
Edit 2: This started happening this week, even before the patch.
It's ping you're worried about, not speed.
