It seems that not only are these developers incompetent, but outright fraudulent. Any kind of official response to this would be greatly appreciated.

UDO 361 Posted January 16, 2019 are u lagging ? if not then dont worry about it , anymore than 30 players in a grid then servers start to lag even for rme in EU , Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aphoxus 1 Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) Quote are u lagging ? if not then dont worry about it , Yeah, it doesn't work that way. The game is unplayable in any kind of PVP, and now they are just lying about the actual ping so getting any real numbers is impossible. I'm completely done with this company.

JamieKG 5 Posted January 16, 2019 Have you thought whether Geo Location data is right ? its often not and that gives you the wrong country flag I live in the UK and a tracert to one of those IP addresses show hops with ping times of around 144ms that tells me that the servers in question are not located in Germany and would be the right sort of ping times for central US from my location Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aphoxus 1 Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) Dear Mods: Here is a reddit thread of people demanding answers for this. https://www.reddit.com/r/playatlas/comments/aggpy0/the_server_ping_is_a_flat_out_lie/ PLEASE RESPOND @Jatheish Edited January 16, 2019 by aphoxus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hodo 147 Posted January 16, 2019 When I ping the server using traceroute I get about a 80-100ms ping which is about average considering. My ping to the CCP EVE servers is about 70ms, and my ping to Mortal Onlines servers which is in France is 75ms. So it is possible for my ping to be exactly what it says it is for my computer. When I check in game my ping is usually in the 60-80ms range. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PLEASE some kind of official response for this is needed so you have ping times of 45 - 65 ms to Germany ? in the previous post you have said its "The theoretical *absolute minimum time* round trip for a packet from New York to London based on the speed of light is 56ms" and "It is physically impossible to have sub 150ms ping for NA players" ??????? for the IP i get Quote Pinging 37.10.127.191 with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 37.10.127.191: bytes=32 time=143ms TTL=117 Reply from 37.10.127.191: bytes=32 time=143ms TTL=117 Reply from 37.10.127.191: bytes=32 time=143ms TTL=117 Reply from 37.10.127.191: bytes=32 time=143ms TTL=117 Ping statistics for 37.10.127.191: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss), Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds: Minimum = 143ms, Maximum = 143ms, Average = 143ms and I live in England so that server would not be in Germany more likely in the US some ware due to them ping times Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
