High Ping in EU/MENA/SEA/OCE

[harsh fulcrum]

mine showed 999ms devs team including their PM should change another more efficient team. Wasting of investment.

[cobalt pine]

took the word right out of my mouth

[last anvil]

My win is directly proportional to my ping

Low ping = Hight win
High ping = low win

Currently no ping lost all points from 1610 to 1448 and am no longer in the leaderboard I had a feeling these MF can’t let me have a green 76 ms ping and had to f it up now I lost it all i knew something was wrong they would let me play I reached 131 position in leader board within 3 days of getting good ping ( which 76 ms lowest I ever got I know it’s not that good but my combos was working so for me it was enough )

[pale mica]

Game is totally broken , everything is under working, ruined wind tail full bugs lags ms issues and so much more you have a game that can be the best but you dont know how to do your job
. So sad .......

[pale mica]

Greece too....

[dry zephyr]

In Co-OP dps pop up on screen but I feel like my damage didn’t register onto the bosses. I usually do quite a lot of damage but now on statistics you can see me from the bottom up. :/ Guess no speed run for this patch….. And PvP…. Probably not fated with me on this patch.
One patch they fixed ping, next one it get worse then they fix it on next patch then they fix it again only to get worse in the next one. What a cycle :V

[steel veldt]

For God's sake, when will you fix THIS? Game freezes during fights in Perception Forest.

[swift frigate]

Did they even fix the guardian palm bug because im still being comboed after waking up

[sharp kestrel]

They never did lmaoo

[swift frigate]

Thought was going crazy, some people still abuse it and it's annoying af. Even if u report them they won't be banned. Also why are they censoring the ban list like tf.

[last anvil]

When will I be able to login now ? Where bugs meets

[vestal plover]

I can't log in too, even though my wifi works perfectly well

[boreal notch]

does anyone uses vpn in middleeast or specifically uae? do yall notice the vpns got banned? or im trippin

[harsh fulcrum]

wtf is your netcode today?

[ruby meadow]

oooooooooooooh

[dark yacht]

Damn that bug! That's why everyone is using it as af now ??!

[dim holly]

Dead because every single Middle East player is playing in EU/using GFN to EU. If yall come back the server would literally be super alive

I wish the game does something to force yall to return to your original server.

[dark yacht]

My original server is middle east and my ping never less than 400ms
Now with vpn while playing in Eu my ping is 140ms maximum!!!
The game must fix its servers before ‘ forcing players to play with their region’

[dim holly]

What’s ur location

[dark yacht]

Saudi Arabia

[copper summit]

This game must tell that they don't care about anything besides money and hate African neteast is treating us like animals

[marble fiber]

Gearup mena

[dim holly]

Please do something about Middle East players using GeForce Now to play in Europe and ignore their main server. Force them to come back somehow.

[dark yacht]

Not working on mobile

[marble fiber]

[cobalt pine]

ban geeforce now entirely

[swift frigate]

Sadly the devs dont care, a lot middle east players are still in Eu server.

[copper summit]

I think a lot of players from mobile are not in the middle east

[dim holly]

eggsy from guilds alone, i know over 300 players who are middle eastern but GFN to EU

[copper summit]

Oo same with mobile we are stuck in the EU with high ping and also gear doesn't work because of the unstable middle east server we are asking for African servers but no replies

[dim holly]

Middle East server is pretty stable actually. African servers aren’t gonna be a thing if where winds meet doesn’t get enough funding from Africans to justify that server unfortunately. One would hope that one day you guys get ur own server tho.

[copper summit]

Idk bro because for sure the middle east server doesn't have good stability because most African players should be in the middle East with better ping then Europe with we are stuck on Europe and also African has a big community of players but the problem is why people wanna waste money on the game where you can't even enjoy a day without delay,lag and latency

[swift frigate]

Its stable for you because you are closer to the server for me today, ping keeps spiking for no reason and the frames drop to zero sometimes 😭

[dim holly]

Both of you guys are experiencing personal issues. The Middle East server is not made to serve Africa unfortunately. It only works decently for East African countries. For other African countries EU is literally physically closer and better.

For your case, frames dropping to 0 has nothing to do with the server and more so with your device. When FPS drops this sharply it causes ping spikes but the cause is the fps due to your device and not the server.

[swift frigate]

I respect your wrong opinion, Africa actually gets better ping to the Middle East server in a lot of cases, so saying EU is automatically better for other African countries isn't accurate. It depends heavily on the ISP and routing. And I don't think you can confidently say the FPS dropping to 0 is purely a device issue either. If the FPS tanks and ping spikes at the same time, there could be network/server related factors involved too. You'd need actual frame time and network data to determine the cause instead of just assuming it's the device.

[copper summit]

NGL middle east is closer to Africa then Germany

[dim holly]

Yeah the “a lot of cases” are mostly East African countries like I said. Even then, the middle east server nor EU server are made to serve to Africa. Some countries just happen to be close to them and can get decent ping, but others that are far away tend to suffer. Has nothing to do with the server itself and more so with distance and routing from your ISP as well as connection quality.

For your other argument of saying “we need more data to confirm” that’s so AI-like because WE DO HAVE THE DATA. It’s called our experience playing where winds meet which the AI does NOT have. I know for a fact how the wwm netcode works and can trace this same netcode issue to Netease’s other game Naraka Bladepoint too. In both of these games FPS is tied to ping. This means that if your FPS sharply drops, ping automatically increases because of the increased input lag due to the extremely low frame rate. There is no doubt about the problem being from your device.

Also you didn’t need to use AI to counter my argument.. AI lacks the one thing we humans have and that’s the fact that we tried and tested stuff and we know from experience what we are talking about specifically for this game. AI is thinking more generally, and assuming no testing because it literally cannot try this game nor does it actually know why things happen certain ways while we do.

[copper summit]

This game routing issue needs to be studied

[dark yacht]

100% yes

[dim holly]

the game has nothing to do with ur local ISP issues buddy. You can write any feedback you want, but legit the devs will laugh and shrug it off when you use weak arguments that are your own issue. Try to look for strong arguments that are not just your own issue, but the issue of the game itself.

[copper summit]

Brother, I genuinely think you’re defending the game without experiencing what most of us are actually dealing with. The problem isn’t simply “your ISP” WWM clearly has routing/server-side issues, and there are plenty of players experiencing unstable or extremely high ping even when their normal connection is fine.

If people around the Middle East server are getting stable connections while others are being routed badly and getting 150 ,300ms, you can’t just dismiss that as an ISP problem. I’m experiencing it myself, and so are many other players. Saying “it’s stable” when a large number of players are clearly having the opposite experience is honestly insane.

[dim holly]

Your normal connection isnt fine. The game does not have routing issues. The game in fact DOES NOT set up any routing. The routing comes your ISP (internet service provider). It is YOUR ISP that has the issues. The game located its middle eastern server in one of the best/highest quality internet infrastructure places in the region, Dubai. A lot of other games have the server there too, it's the golden standard for the location of Middle East game servers. Players get stable 1-35 ms in the Gulf region, the target region for this server. You are in Africa, outside the target region. Africa has issues with terrestrial internet connections. Their terrestrial infrastructure is old. This means that ping for any country that is not on the red sea directly is going to SKY ROCKET because African land infrastructure to transmit the signal unforuntately needs upgrades. Where winds meet has no authority over upgrading African infrastructure. Thats the job of you guys.

I am not defending the game, and I know what you guys deal with because I did play in high ping before we got our server. Your argument however is MISPLACED. You are saying you have frame rate drops (your own pc is bad) and routing issues (your ISP is bad). None of that has anything to do with the game. Instead, you can ask wwm devs to provide a server in Africa, so at least you get somewhat better ping. However, they need funding for that. Is your region providing enough funding? Do you have any whales who bought the $40k boat? Do you have enough whales who buy every new echo bead outfit and reforges their weapons? If so provide an example of a good number of those and make a solid argument that you guys provide enough funding to start a server in Africa.

[copper summit]

I understand what you’re saying about ISP routing and African infrastructure, but I think you’re missing the main point we’re making. Yes, the connection ultimately depends on cables, routing and ISPs, but that doesn’t mean the experience WWM provides to African players is automatically acceptable. We have games with servers in Africa where players get excellent ping, so saying “Africa’s infrastructure is bad” doesn’t explain everything.

The bigger issue is that WWM is an extremely ping-dependent game, especially for PvP. Playing at 180–250+ ms is not the same experience as playing at 20–40 ms. If European servers give some African players better and more stable routes while the Middle East server gives them extremely high or unstable ping, then obviously players are going to question the routing and server configuration being used by the game.

And about the “whales” argument I don’t think players should have to prove that they have $40k spenders before their region deserves consideration. People are already willing to spend money on a game, but why would players invest heavily in a game that gives them a terrible experience because there is no suitable server nearby? It works both ways: the developers need to provide a reasonable experience for the region if they want that region to grow and spend more.

We’re not saying WWM is responsible for Africa’s entire internet infrastructure. We’re saying that if your game is this heavily dependent on ping, then having no African server puts African players at a massive disadvantage. That is the issue we’re asking the developers to address.

[dim holly]

why are you using AI to respond, im not trying to argue with chatgpt here.

That entire argument is just AI trying to sound politically correct when its literally wrong in every single statement. Im not gonna have a political endless argument with an AI. Either you respond using your own thinking, or stop trying to act like you are informed about this topic and concede already.

[dark yacht]

Guys!
This channel is for players experiencing server ping and latency issues. It doesn't matter who prefers to play on which server
Also, constantly blaming local ISPs for widespread routing issues doesn't help anyone. When a large portion of the player base suffers from unstable ping, it’s a server routing issue that the devs need to address

[untold rose]

Kindly advise if there could be Southern African servers added sometime soon?
Players in South Africa which include the majority of my guild have triple digit ping on our recommended server which is EU.. I am loyal to the game, I play every day and have been playing since launch.
Please consider this server addition, we are suffering with high ping and latency. @stoic helm

[dry zephyr]

True, One patch, ping is bad, next one it’s fixed, the one after will be bad again but no worry it will be fixed in the next patch only to become worse once again in the next one.
Say good bye to PvP once a season, heck I can’t even play in my server without a spike. It was very smooth early game though.

[stray quiver]

Day 9000 of having abysmal ping. The in game ping meter is an absolute lie and I only have this issue in THIS game. Every other competitive game I have I get around 7 ms. I never had this issue into y'all added more servers to NA. I truly don't think the devs care.

No Rollback Netcode in a game that has a TON of online features is actually wild. lol

[dark yacht]

I am not using VPN for a while, so .... every time i login to the game i enter with different server!
And for the last 7 days i was in Eu, Middle East and southeast Asia!
With different ping range!
@stoic helm

[bright yoke]

#1440984503978954897 I'm in the middle east server i don't get any match 😕 since the new season I only manage to play 15 game and I was in q like 9 hrs

[bright yoke]

@stoic helm plz do something you can add Pakistani and Indian players to middle east server they will gona get matching and also good ms like 50/60 now they are getting 110 ms i know because my second id is in sea server

[civic palm]

try gearup, i get worse pings on MENA server than asian ones

[delicate jackal]

Middle east is dead server even can’t find ST match without cross-region matchmaking on

[swift frigate]

thats what happening to me too even right now

[ashen sky]

Same thing happened to me, i was getting na east , eu matches

[dim holly]

This is because so many Middle East players are using Geforce Now to play in EU which is killing the queues and the devs are doing nothing about it. They need to FORCE every Middle East player including those who have “switched their account to EU” by abusing GeForce now to be FORCED to queue in Middle East. It’s their server and thus it is their responsibility to play in it.

Most are switching to EU because it is easier to gain arena ranked points there. That’s NOT a good reason to dodge your own server. Return back and learn how to play against good players.

[copper summit]

We played in custom 👀

[swift frigate]

Yeah i also fought a player from NA east, at first i thought he was the one in Eu or Middle east but after checking my ping it was the opposite. We used to be guildmates so i knew he was from NA.

[copper summit]

I am getting Japanese players 💀 with 300 ping on middle East 😭

[ashen sky]

Daaam

[dim holly]

Uncheck those regions. Keep only Middle East checked

[copper summit]

I have done it but idk what's up with arena because I gear up to connect to middle east to get better ping then Europe

[bright yoke]

what about us mobile players we can't use gfn on mobile 😭😭

[harsh fulcrum]

Devs, your SEA server in PVP arena just burst. Please have a check.

[dark yacht]

Nope

[dry zephyr]

Yesterday, I kept facing one-digit players. I remember them mentioning making the ping a little fair to balance between 2 players or something. Or did I remember it wrong, from another game? :/

[dark yacht]

Are you middle east?

[dry zephyr]

SEA

It’s like fighting someone who lives in NetEast’s basement. My character’s attack speed was slow and rigid. But their attack came so fluid and rapid. Watching this happen on my screen, so weird.

[swift frigate]

you are talking about my everyday experience 😅 .

[dark yacht]

This happens to me in eu server and middle east server 😐

[dry zephyr]

I tried CO-OP once or twice with EU… It was like paying with someone on the moon. On the other hand, NA was like Mars. 😐

[harsh fulcrum]

My everyday experience too. Reported to devs, and as usual "We are working on it =), please wait till 2027 thanks"

[dark yacht]

Did they told you wait until 2027 or you joking??

[dim holly]

If they actually said that, that’s so peak. I hope they solve ping issues by 2027

[harsh fulcrum]

Of course it was a joke 🙂 HAHAHA. Could be 2028 too 🙂 hahaha

[minor parrot]

From AU my closest connection was always SEA with around 100, now they must have changed server setup, now is 298!

I can only try to play with China which is now 145 to 179 for me from AU 😭

Any online gaming like pvp, sword trials, perception forest etc is almost impossible for me to do anything useful now... 😞

[dim holly]

Assuming AU is Australia you guys literally have your own server called Oceania just play in that one lol

[minor parrot]

Not enough players in Australia and New Zealand they all left before the server was setup later this year because of the lag and frustrations.

I never get into perception forest or pvp etc trying to get it on oceania only. Hence why SEA was my only other option to get some progress done.

[copper summit]

Ya no one gonna play this game on high ping same thing with Africa but with no servers

[minor parrot]

Yeh it's frustrating but Gemini AI gave me a great solution to run playstation connection through my laptop and getting connection booster GearUP Booster or UU Booster installed and connect via Ethernet cable. I changed my dns settings on the playstation to cloud flare it suggested and I already see a big difference.

So "Your laptop handles the Wi-Fi connection and runs the booster software, which cleans up the routing path to the Asian servers. The Ethernet cable then delivers a completely stable, jitter-free stream directly to your PS5. This should eliminate the desync that makes it hard to land your hits in Master 3. "

Going to give this a try. 🙏

[swift frigate]

whats your ping after doing all that?

[sweet meadow]

Two undersea cables ASC and Indigo West both are down that is why ping from OCE to SEA is high. Nothing Netease can do.

[marble fiber]

It's because AU got cables cut

Oh person above said the same thing mb

[dim holly]

Nah not enough players because a lot of people have the same mentality as you and are dodging their responsibility to play and represent their region. Arena gets lots of games. Kann is playing only in OCE and he has previously ranked #1 Global by arena points. You have no excuses for 1v1 arena.

[minor parrot]

Thanks you are correct. Had no idea about this. Thanks, seems like end October is the estimated time frame for fixes to all of it...

[waxen star]

Can get 1v1 done on AU pretty easily. It pops very often during peak hours.

Perception forest is rough because it's a BR that needs like 100 people. Imo they should add more bots to it as even on SEA it takes a long while. People just don't que for this often.

[zenith elk]

Stormbreaker Spear auto drops at 60 ms . it needs 100 more ms of stagger

idk if i should place this here or as a bug report . since in the previous patches it was somewhat consistent ( it dropped 8 times out of 10 ) , but rn it always drops ( 10 times out of 10 )

[untold rose]

[copper summit]

Don't care ig

[harsh fulcrum]

Devs:" Dear player, we dont care =)"

[marble fiber]

It's not like the WWM team can fix or change anything, for the route between OCE and SEA, these are intercontinental cables which have issues that they're talking about in the post

[dim holly]

Some people you are replying to have personal ISP issues/local issues and think the game has to be blamed for it. There is nothing wwm can do about issues coming from your own ISP or local bad routing/cable issues.

Even in the SEA OCE post they clearly mentioned that the LOCAL AUTHORITIES are working to fix the issue by October. Unfortunately there is nothing wwm can do to fix these issues.

I’m talking about the people who are living close to the server and getting high ping btw. People who are far away from the server obviously have a different issue and need their own servers.

[dark yacht]

I hope they start FIXING THEIR PROBLEMS! @stoic helm

[marble fiber]

Kinda hard to fix when you don't give any bug reports

[dark yacht]

I did in the game and sent on email

[marble fiber]

Then just wait instead of bringing up announcements for other servers

[dim holly]

What bug? That you have 400 ms ping to Middle East server when you live very close to it? That’s not a bug. I explained before what this is. It’s an issue that’s LOCAL to you. Contact your own ISP/authorities to fix this for you.

[dark yacht]

Waiting

[copper summit]

Hopefully this problem will be solved

[fleet jetty]

what you did to ping on eu guys. Why my ping after latest update jumped from 30-35 to 40-45. Other online games are also on 30-35 ping still. I don't use any proxies before nor after the update. Give me back my 30 ping please 🙏

[left oxide]

In game UID 2148235465
Name Nekomata-

Since update I have had a bug where in every arena match, co op activity even SOLO MODE my ping sits at 200-400ms

My ping tests are showing that my ping is almost normal (slightly higher but between 40-60)

My normal ping is 30ms

This heavily impacts my ability to join a team to do anything as no one wants someone with insane ping on their team (teams can see your ping)

I will also mention that during online activities my ping has been fluctuating. Some times it's normal other times it's bad. But it's 100% not what is stated above.

Please fix this bug and pix the ping

Also please actually respond to this post this time. This is the 3rd one I've made about this 🙁

@rigid tiger

[left oxide]

Update

I unplugged My router for 30 seconds and now my ping is better then it's ever been 💀🥀😩 this is not a joke and I feel so stupid I could've just done this from the start. I guess the ping spike after the update was just a coincidence
