Will changing realms help? - Phallock - 07-12-2006 I recently moved, only 5 miles, but the new neighborhood doesn't have cable so I now have DSL instead of my trusted cable modem. I talked to several D2 friends that never had problems playing with DSL so I thought it wouldn't be that bad. About the same time D2JSP became popular and so did lag duping. Now I cannot get online to play with out my ping jumping from 100 to over 2000 if I can get into a game at all! I play US East, Ladder and I am wondering if changing realms to US West or Europe would eliminate some of this problem or if it would be the same. Does anyone actually play more than one realm? Anyone notice a difference in lag on different realms? TY for any help or comments. Will changing realms help? - splatterghost - 07-12-2006 well US East has been having bad lagg recently along with West realm so im not sure if switching to an US realm would do anything maybe asia or europe realms don't have as much lagg Will changing realms help? - Lynch - 07-12-2006 I had high speed dial because i live in the middle of bumf*%k of nowhere. I have no trouble connecting on any realm. Sometimes its difficult to teleport because it jumps back.(That is due to my older computer so no worry.) Right now I'm at work so I have T3 so I can't test right now, but as long as you don't try to connect to Asia or Europe you shouldn't have a problem. ~Lynch~ Will changing realms help? - wm_hunter - 07-12-2006 I am not sure if the same IPs are shared across across realms, but I do know that multiple games on the same realm use the same IP causing someone to lag if someone is duping on that IP. You will have to look into it by joining a game and using netstat -n in command prompt and looking for a connection on port 4000 and see if the IPs are simular on dif realms. Will changing realms help? - schmidz - 07-12-2006 I go onto east realm with lag, but i do alot of stuff like ubers, my ping rarely goes over 2000, but with west i just began and did nothign too extreme and never goes over 1000. I use DSL Will changing realms help? - Lynch - 07-12-2006 I can only dream of ever getting dsl. If I want to have dsl I will go play d2 at my g/f's house which probably wouldn't go over well. ~Lynch~ Will changing realms help? - Dregee84 - 07-12-2006 Jimmy! Will changing realms help? - L4E - 07-12-2006 i play west, and we dont have any problems at all.. no ftj, no lines, maybe lag from time to time but nothing huge Will changing realms help? - Phallock - 07-13-2006 TY guys, I think I will start a US West Ladder account and see how it goes. I haven't enjoyed playing in several weeks. About 5 minutes and I am fed up with the lag, and temp bans.... Will changing realms help? - A.D. - 07-13-2006 USWest was perfect for my DSL up until the dupes started. Before the dupes I went to East for a bit but I guess since I live in Idaho it was just a bit too laggy for me. Will changing realms help? - Lynch - 07-13-2006 Wow, last night I got on for like 10 mins between 11:30 - 12:00 lagged so bad i couldn't even play. USWest NL. Lots of duping last few nights it seems. ~Lynch~ Will changing realms help? - Phallock - 07-13-2006 Sounds like the lag duping is spreading. Maybe I will just wait for the next patch and the ladder to reset. That has been happening in August the last couple of times, so here is to hoping they fix it! Will changing realms help? - Lynch - 07-13-2006 I was considering switching to ladder but then all the stuff on non-ladder will be worthless. ad: It just bugs me that it lags like that. Someone last night said that people are using a massive auto-it that does everything to dupe, so they can dupe all night/day. Can anyone confirm that? ~Lynch~ Will changing realms help? - commandwolf - 07-13-2006 i doubt it and i doubt that they will release it into the public if they want to keep bnet even close to being playable ladder season will end soon (i think august) so i wouldn't recommending starting all over at this time.
