edit: Why do you have frequent lag when you are in Canada particulary in Quebec and Ontario

[blakenet]

anyone can answer me? what this is pinging ?

 

 

edit: no really ,,, if you live east cost, north preferably you are probably playing with a 20-40 ms ping displaying on screen like when you play wot or wowp.

 

did you never asked yourself how this can be possible if the wows server is located in california and not in washington like others ?

 

how can you traverse the country faster than interconects does ?

or having the lag light on when your ping is good ?

The ping is the reaction time of your connection–how fast you get a response after you've sent out a request. A fast ping means a more responsive connection, especially in applications where timing is everything (like video games). Ping is measured in milliseconds (ms). Lower number is better.

It enables players on your team to highlight attention on the minimap. For instance, that an unseen enemy destroyer is in that direction, I ping the map and type dd. 

[blakenet]

ill formulate in another way

 

who is answering the ping?

who is the recipient

It's pinging the Wargaming server that's hosting the match. The number is how many milliseconds it takes for your computer to receive a response from the server after sending something. If it's sixty, you're going to have noticable delays in your ship controls, as it will take sixty milliseconds for your command to get from your computer to the server, and then the updated status of your ship to return to you.

 

Basically, it's the round-trip-time of the internet connection to the server.

[blakenet]

so you are telling me that this is pinging the wows server located in the west coast right ?

 

and you are sure about that ?

 

you did confirmed in a way or another that this is correct or you assume it ?

 

according to this screenshot you are telling me that i have 35ms ping with the server ?

It's the sound of AP shells bouncing off your battleship.

I'm certain. :) I work as a computer guy, and ping always refers to the time required for a communication to make the round trip from one device to another and then back. (Which is very slow in fifteen-year-old cotton gin networks, but I digress...) In online games, it invariably refers to the time required for anything you do to go to the server and then get back to you confirmed and carried out. How do I know? I make games too. :D

if i were telling you that in fact this do not ping the wows server

at least not automaticaly, im not sure but i think it ping the closest wargaming server east or west depending where you are and as wows dosent have east server, everyone east see the wrong ping

 

i tried with support to elude the question but they are avoiding answering it

 

they only confirm that i have a 100ms ping with peaks at 200 after dozens of tests

 

i bet that if you live east cost and ping the server it wont match ingame indicator but will match wot server.

 

 

if im right it mean that there is thousands of players seeing the wrong ping having problems like me without having the correct information to troubleshoot

Just a quick FYI - in WoWS the ping indicator is for ONE WAY traffic. To get the same value as what 99.9% of other games give you, you will need to double it.

 

WoWS has 1 west coast server on NA

[Freddie_Creamer]

mE COnfUSe ABout QuEStiOn!!!!. *begins shaking trees violently*

[IronDuke17]

There's only one server in North America. Everyone in the U.S., as well as any players in Canada, Mexico, or anywhere in South America are almost certainly playing on that one server, and the ping is to that one server.

Is that so? I wonder why they did that. Maybe the conventions are different in Russia, where the game was made...

support couldn't help you because YOU HAVE ALREADY BEEN GIVIN THE ANSWER.

 

no, seriously you have a 35ms ping contacted the world of warships server that your game is currently on, the ping IS AUTOMATIC, it is sent with EVERY bit of data that the game sends out to play, when new data is received back from the server...

[blakenet]

so why everyone in the country have good pings with the server only those between bots having bad ones ?

[Wombatmetal]

Technically you send an ICMP Echo Request, start counting, and when you receive an ICMP Echo Reply, you stop counting and report the number. In your case 35 ms

 

All called ping after sonar

[blakenet]

seriously i did about a dozen of pingplotter results none never matched the ingame results

ingame results give me exact same ping as i have a wot even if i connect 3000 mile further

 

ingame 35ms showed

reports from support 100+ms

 

samething for anyone i asked living in quebec and ontario

 

 

make your own tests before saying im wrong

The value of ping is often not the exact number, but how steady is it. I was playing the other day and my ping was varying from 35 to 152 ms, and was rubber banding a lot, but a steady 100-152ms ping would have been fine

[blakenet]

i never saw my ping going over 50 ingame

it never got under 90 in tests (idle or on load) wich is normal for this distance

 

35 ms from montreal to sanjose is physically impossible its est to west coast north to south

 

the ping indicator is wrong (for east coast)

 

wont be a little difference but a HUGE difference if you do test

did you compare your ingame results with external tests like pingplotter ?

 

does they fit even only a little

also if you are in the west coast i dont think this affect you

[Atom_Alchemist]

My joke

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your Head

[blakenet]

im also pretty sure that if this indicator would work correctly , wg support would be crushing under the amount of support ticket
