Some of the later posts, including mine, were directed more towards issues happening in the game today. That would make them affected by the patch that was rolled forward today, right? Oh well, I don't want to split hairs. I don't really care that much.|

The mait today was to roll back from the new version put live this morning, which did cause stability problems (see login screen/announcements area). The MAitenance right now has nothing to do with Double XP weekend which the thread was originally about. |
The servers are down and hopefully the issues are being resolved.
Words to the wise aren't necessary- it's the stupid ones that need them.

If you do a whois lookup on IP address 68.86.89.54 it belongs to a comcast.net CIDR:
http://whois.domaintools.com/68.86.89.54
However, as noted at the top of that page, reverse DNS does indeed point to tenge12/1.br02.ash01.pccwbtn.net. That name scares me for two reasons.
1. I was not aware that '/' is a legal character in a domain name. Section 2.3.1 of RFC 1035 is (to the best of my knowledge) the absolute authority on what is, and is not, legit in a domain name, and it does not allow for anything other than letters, numbers, minus signs and periods. No slashes allowed.
2. Sure that's in a comcast.net CIDR, but why is reverse dns turning up a name that should belong to an outfit in Hong kong. Better yet, why does forward dns on that hostname strike out?
Bottom line. <quote>This stinks like rotten meat.</quote> In my humble opinion at least.
Scrappers are just like chainsaws. Somewhat hard to handle, EXTREMELY dangerous, and by far the most fun when wielded by the slightly insane.

The Angry Angels. When it absolutely positively has to be spanked today.
That is too funny, actually when I first saw these results I did a google search on pccwbtn.net and I came up with this site http://www.pccwglobal.com/.
Pretty big company to have a node as unstable as that (if it is theirs).

The irony there is they DID upgrade the servers...yet they were a 100x more stable with the old ones.

It's just disappointing because I like the game so much. But if this continues I will take my money elsewhere. It's becoming aggravating. Why pay for something that aggravates you? |

All clients connected to that mapserver in that instance, were out of sync with the server which was corrected by the rubberbanding or a reset of the mobs position from the position known by the server at the last data sync. In that case, I would agree that that particular issue would be closer to the server side, which is consistent to what I said before no? That if there is an issue server side it affects everyone on that server.|

So you have 8 people with different ISPs seeing the same thing at the same time. That means its on NC's end. When EVERYONE in one location mapservs at the same time its on NCs end.

Alright.. I am having some problems, and I've come to the point where I am guessing it's my connection.
I've having a lot of Mapserver D/C's, tons of rubberbanding and random disconnects. It happened on Freedom, it happened when I logged into infinity server. So I decided I would test out some other of my MMO's. I logged into Guild Wars. Rubberbanding and a lost connection. I had the same rubberbanding issue in AION this past beta weekend as well but I had initally chalked that up to it being beta. Being that it's happening in more than just CoH, I am guessing the problem is with me.
I've rebooted, shutdown, reset my modem, reset my router.. I havn't called my ISP or anything but short of paying an obscene amount to have a tech come out and (yet again) tell me nothing is wrong... I thought I'd ask what steps I could take to find out what, if anything the problem is and possibly where. I'm on the east coast, NJ to be specific, with Comcast as my provider. I havn't found anything about there being issues somewhere along comcasts lines but I am not positive, it has been storming over the last weeks something fierce here.
Any assistance is appreciated.
