I am actually pulling out completely, including my donor status, because of this server move. The first blow to my ping was me moving from a decent sized city to a more rural location, that took my ping from 15ms to 30-40ms. This server move then took my ping all the way up to 70ms. The lowest ping I have seen is 65ms. Before I started looking for this post I was starting to do network diagnostics, rebooting everything, testing my router, all that jazz.
It has been a good run, but I think I must start looking for a new dodgeball server. 70ms ping has resulted in making this gamemode nearly unplayable for me. It took me months to get used to 30ms, 70ms is hurting badly.
With the move to the new server, I get around 115ms ping up from around 60ms (real ping, not the useless number in the tab list). The added latency doesn't stop me from having fun with others though (because after all,
). I realize everyone's connection is different, but I wanted to mention that the added network stability compared to the old host has actually made playing a whole lot easier now that I don't get random packet loss (I have even have won a few matches where it has come down to me against some of the really good regulars despite the fact that my reflexes are not the best).
Anyways, no one is going to stop you from going elsewhere because you lost a few rounds and are a massive try-hard.
