Faster Ping

Post by Kalitari » 06 Sep 2008, 20:22

Found this AddOn called Faster Ping. Now don't ask me how or why it works... But it sure looks like it does work. I tested it four about four hours today (2 hours with it, 2 hours without it) and it looks like it dropped my Latency from 180-250ms to about 60-80ms.

Now that is huge improvement for PvP and I could certainly feel it in BGs.

http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/02/09/pi ... ster-ping/ has explanation.

Anyway, they suggest not to use it if you don't have a dedicated gaming PC - it fixes WoW's bad netcode but at the same time slows down your web browsing and other high-bandwidth apps..

Thats good to know... Then again, I don't really use high bandwidth in net browsing. I don't really mind my news loading up 1 second slower :P
