what's a good ping for you?

Re: what's a good ping for you?

Doesn't 0 ping usually signify an error?

Anything under 150 ping is good for me.

If you has a zero ping, you would be on the server physically, not connected to it. Even then it would not really be zero, but thousanths of a millisecond.

Re: what's a good ping for you?

Your ping depends more on how close you are to the server more then what type of internet (cable, dsl, fios).
I play on insomnia servers, so my ping is 80(they are in texas i believe). If anyone knows of servers located in new england area, massachusetts preferably, please pm me with the server ip.

I have been playing poe2, and many of the servers are in europe from what i have seen, and for servers in europe i get a 120-145 ping. I do have the occassional lag do to my brother using the other computer.

Ping is not completely about how close or far, it is also dependent on the ammount of hops you have to the site. I live in Austin and if I were on SBC DSL, and wanted to hit Insomnia in Dallas, my packet would travel to Seattle before it got to Dallas.

Ping can be determined by the line speed between routers and the number of hops to the location

Charter has been screwing me lately. I have a 3 meg connection and the best ping I get at times is 200+. Yesterday I hit 35 and it rose from there up to its 200 mark and I quit.

Re: what's a good ping for you?

I play on servers that their pings are below 100

Re: what's a good ping for you?

I try to stay below 150.

1 - 5.

Re: what's a good ping for you?

I spent many years gaming on 56k, so anything below 200ms is good enough for me.

But I prefer ping below 100ms for best performance. My average is between 30 to 80.

Re: what's a good ping for you?

I saw a server with a player with 900+ ping but no admin kicked him. But it ran smoothly

Re: what's a good ping for you?

I don't pay attention to ping unless it's over 100. 80 or 70 and below is ok. My ping is usually around 50 or 60 though. Once it gets up to like 150 I find a different server, unless it's a real nice server.
