    Default How to lower ping?

    I would kindly like to know if there are ways I can lower my ping to maybe below 100. I have a stable ping at 350-390, I have never seen below 300. I have tried different providers and upgrading devices to 2019-2020 models.
    I live in New Zealand half way around the world from where STS headquarters are. (Maybe due to servers?)

    I ask this because I have this really bad delay in ping. Where I am seeing arrows fly through rocks and hitting me. (Pvp mode TDM)

    Feel free to drop your opinion weather it’s relevant or not lol

    What Encryptions said basically. Unless your device is outdated or the internet you receive from your provider is slow, then I think the only way to improve ping is to move closer to the StS server

    Usually a lot of timed leaderboard runners leaders are from the US because of that. It’s just a very huge advantage if you have a ping 50 and below, it can make or break a record, for example

    How bad is 300 really though? I play at 300 and feels fine for me, then again I don't play rogue, I'm a warrior which is generally slower in all aspects, but I've always played with around 250-400 ping (asia). Arrows going through rocks seem more like an animation problem as I don't think the arrow animation stops once it hits the rocks, giving the placebo that you're being hit. (don't take my word for it, I'm not their dev). The animations, in general, aren't in sync for the most part with the actual skills and effects, i.e using Chest Splitter on a speed set and you'll miss most of your hits because it seems it registers your position beyond where the animation actually is, you'll have to stay still for it to hit the way you want to.

    That or you're right about the ping messing your game, dunno :/

    Try using an ethernet cable, or move to the east coast in the United States.

    I heard of one player running AL thru a cloud VPN. As a result, he was able to get 50 ping in China. I am not sure if that is allowed though or if it is cost-effective.

    Cost efficient most definitely, and if hes not doing anything related to ingame rewarding through 3rd party providers also allowed.

    It still won't be true 50 ping, as you have to now add in the ms delay of the cloud vpn. However, it will be a lot better than 300 ping. That approach will probably be a 100-150 true ping.

    300 ping is actually huge. It means theres 3 tenths of a second delay for everything. 3 tenths of a second in pvp is gamechanging. @OP I see you posted on an ipad. Are you also playing on an ipad? You might get a faster connection using an ethernet cord with a pc/laptop than playing over wifi on a tablet
