Extreme gaming lag on raids.
I play an mmorpg called Everquest with 53 other people weekly. While burning a target on raids the lag is extremely bad, so bad I can’t click my buttons. Many other people in the raids have complained...
Difference between ping on Geo-Filter and server is that the server is including things like processing delay which all games have but not all decide to show. To me it sounds like an actual server issue that it's not able to handle the multiple actions in one area. Your ping and hardware is fine so I don't think that is the cause.
It seems like my best dslreports bufferbloat readings and my lowest game lag and ping occurs when I have QOS and Antibufferbloat completely turned off on the XR500 and my S8000 switch set to 256out and 16in. I just don't get why I paid $350 for a router when I get my best readings with all of its functions turned off and the $80 switches functions turned on. Seems like I wasted $350 on a Netgear router when I should have kept my old Comcast router and just ran the S8000 $80 switch.
I wouldn't nessercarily trust the DSLreports stats on anti-bufferbloat. They're tuned to detect stuff like fq-codel, which is a commonly used anti-bufferbloat technique. DSLreports isn't tuned to detect the DumaOS anti-bufferbloat, which is an entirely different method that we developed in house.
