Ping increased in game

@StarWarsFreak212

grab www.pingplotter.com and set it to the server IP address and have it graphing whilst ingame and see what it displays when in-game.

the graph can be saved as a jpg and inserted into a post here

• If you play on an East Coast server: 159.153.92.28
• If you play on a West Coast server: 159.153.68.252
• If you play on a European server: 159.153.72.252

providing your using non routable IP address on your network like 192.168.1.1 it is fine.

here is one of mine from Australia

I ran pingplotter for a few minutes while I played (it had my network name and an IP address I think is sensitive on the second hop, so don't really want to share image), but hop 1 was 1ms, hop 2 was around 9ms, hop 3 through 8 hovered anywhere from 16-36, but then after hop 8 through 18 it goes up to 40ms, with the minimum being 39ms (I saw 39ms quick this morning before it went back to between 40-47ms). But round trip says average of 42ms, which is what I'm seeing in-game. My ping goes through 18 hops apparently. Does this mean it's on my ISP or BioWare's end? Also, what is hop 2? I know hop 1 is my router, but what is hop 2? Something with my ISP?

@StarWarsFreak212

Yes hop 2 is likely the ISP, by the sounds of it routing change has likely occurred on the net with the route you take to the servers.

If it is only going up like 5 -10 ms I wouldn't be worrying about it, like with my ping plot you can see my ping is really low until hop until hop 8 when it crosses the world and I get 300ms at the server which actually is quite playable 🙂

So there's nothing I can do, then? It's not on my end though, correct?

@StarWarsFreak212

No nothing to fix, its not on your end, and it isn't on biowares end from what you mentioned appears to starts at hop 9 dead smack in the middle.
