Because you are avoiding all the hops between melbourne (or another city) to sydney, and the end-point of the Southern Cross Cable to the actual server.
|
I don't think pinging Mandaue City was a good idea.
|
I'm going to go wherever my EB pre-order takes me  .
After that if the majority of the tournaments are on the US server, or there are a lot of US tournaments that are playable (timezone etc), ill probably just buy the game again, but i can see this getting very expensive with 2 expansions planned T-T.

Do you understand that the latency from Melbourne to Sydney is 4ms and from Los Angeles to the Blizzard server in L.A will be 0-1ms?
|
 I hate what blizzard did here..
|
i think ur missing the point WHY we were moved to the SE asia server. they think the additional amount of people on the US server from Oceania will lag up the US servers too much for the US players. as an australian i'm not happy about this reason either, but this is what blizzard said...
|
I'm sorry but pinging a few asian sites to american sites over 1(tpg) internet connection concludes crap.
Every isp uses different international transit and amount of bandwidth, as well as the fact we don't know blizzard are actually hosting the servers. I can tell you all ISP's have alot better links to the US then they do to Asia.
Only time can tell what the latency will be like.

This is really one of the issues I have right now. I think my ISP connection works better with US rather than MY, SG and especially China (when I play at garena oh God, connection literally sucks ass).
Now if only I can connect to Koreans that would be much better except I'll be in the Bronze league in that server lolz
|
You poor Australians, being torn apart with this SEA/US thing. We'll as an American, we welcome you to our servers with warm hearts and big hugs :D...we love you down under.
Just kidding, we just love your kangaroos and girls. You are still welcome though.
|
Simply PINGING any server in SEA isnt very acurate.
For example if you ping a SG website you will probably get a ping of 200-300, however if you join a singaporean VENT SERVER i can get a ms of 100-150

I always play with the Malaysians/Singaporeans with very good ping. I think Chinese internet is just bad.

I have a better plan! IM A PLAY ON THE UK SERVER!!! -.-''

LOL yeah some singaporeans speak in slang but its still understandable. but anyways pretty much everyone in singapore speaks in english. i'm probably going to get the US version anyway even though I live in singapore because 90% of the people in SEA are probably non-english speakers

Singaporeans speak English, Mandarin, Malay, Tamil, Cantonese, Hokkien, Teochew, etc. Mix them all and its called Singlish (Singapore English)! While it may be difficult following conversations of a group of Singaporeans, we have no problem understanding you or being understood, when necessary

You people will see a lot of "putang ina mo" from the Filipinos LOL!

btw, according to what i read from singaporean gaming forums, we do have quite a handful of people buying the US version so i guess that SEA servers will be very empty when sc2 goes live.
Heh this is true lol, it's going to be annoying having some of my friends who don't know better locking themselves in the SEA servers.

Hahaha maybe they just hate ausies? This should really be adressed.
