@@ZZav appreciate the response, so are you saying that as soon as ii hit 55 i should be looking to try to get ayanad accessories? i dont think they're going to be easily obtainable in the early days of AAu, what i was specifically asking was what can i, or anyone else, realistically get in the first week of AAu? what will you have equipped at that point? thanks.
Wish people knew wtf a VPN did before trying to push its "sponsored ads" on others just to make a quick buck. That's sad AF... A VPN has to encrypt and decrypt traffic which adds to delay of packet transfers. Just because the game says you have lower ping when on the VPN. Doesn't make it so. The game determines PING based on your "location" and connection to the game server. But if you are using a VPN, it believes your location is closer to their servers then you get "lower" ping. However, that is a false reading in game of your PING to the SERVER. Your packets still have to go from your location, to the VPN hub then to the server host... While also performing the decryption and encryption of packets. You are also adding another hop that packets have to go through before getting to the game server. Just because the VPN server is closer to your game server host, doesn't mean a better or more stable connection... Also to top it off most VPN providers actually often lowers your up and down speeds depending on the quality and location of the VPN server hubs... People need to read up on how a vpn works and stop pushing this falsehood on others. It may work for a very small select few people which all depends on your quality of internet and your location odes being used. However for majority of people. A VPN will actually worsen your traffic. Not make it better.
Andro Bourne yes exactly, but thats the reason why many vpn gives trials to let people test it. some game may work better then others , some just doesn’t work or made it worse. as from my personal experience, ive used exit lag to play Albion online, no good. then later i tried battleping with AAU here and it works wonders. and by working, i mean u really feel the responsiveness with/without vpn.
These services change the routing to achieve less travel time. They do work, i checked tracing routes etc. before to confirm and the difference at high ping is clear as day sky.but at below 70 ping it wont even be noticeable.
@@ferevon Again. It will work optimally for a very few select of users. Your packets still have to travel from YOU to the game server. You are just adding another hop and delay in encryption and decryption. It only works if VPN happens to pick a route to the game server via nodes on the internet that happen to be faster then the default nodes used via your ISP. Even then. You still have to account for encryption and decryption and the additional hops so... Again a few select few will actually notice a difference. Everyone else is just getting a "placebo effect" thinking they have lower PING due to how the game calculates ping. Doesn't mean that PING result is accurate or any better without a VPN. It is a false result since the game is judging ping based on where it "thinks" you are. VPN node could be closer to the game host hence "lower" ping. However, again, your packets still need to go from your house, to the vpn node then to the game server host... again, a false reading.
@@androbourne I had no idea this was a practice for gaming these days lol. I was thinking the same thing. Like who tf benefits from adding a stop to route their packages lol.
@@Joker-no1fz If you have normal connection to internet you should get increased ping because of additional jump to remote location and VPN concentrator overhead
If you live "right next to" the server then u can say it's useless. Otherwise you have no idea about advantages VPN can bring beside reduce pings. Google it and you will be amazed!
I work in IT. I'm failing to see how a VPN could possibly make your connection better unless they prioritize traffic from certain region s of the world. There many exceptions to this rule for more reasons than it's worth to get into. However as a generalization it's simply wrong.
@@mikkelpetersen8446 Question though is are you playing on servers in Australia? If so then yea that's pretty wierd, if you're playing on servers located ANYWHERE else in the world then it totally makes sense a VPN would net you better pings.
@@mikkelpetersen8446 Ahh then yea a VPN would help you leaps and bounds (as it sounds like it has). As an American though I'm unsure how a VPN could help me connect to servers in America. The only caveat would be if it does something to your local system to slow down other task and prioritize the games traffic flow from your system. At the point though it's not technically a VPN, it's just an application that's prioritizing a type of traffic no different than what a router can do to prioritize either devices or things going across certain ports. *edit* Someone above me mentioned it prioritizing packets going to game servers. So yea if that's happening then it's just providing QoS enhancements to the game. I suppose to the layman saying it's a VPN that helps ping is probably the best way to describe it as it Can be a VPN and it definitely does seem to improve ping regardless of location.
New to the game . Thank you for the videos you have done. There is a TON of stuff I didn't know and I am sure there will be a ton more. Looking forward to more videos of yours .
can some1 tell me why would i want to get to 55 asap as compared to actually enjoying my game and take my time to get to 55? i can nolife this game and rush it, but i need a good reason to do so
You want to be able to claim as much land as possible and that’s easiest at max level so you want to get there as fast as possible to do the grinding needed before land opens up once land is open and your main is all settled make and alt and experience the story it’s alrightish
truemadmanmatrix sounds more like work to me then playing. well, i hv characters in 4 servers including the ever lasting que in Alexander, from what ive seen and researched, ive decided ima take my sweet time and enjoy the game. thank you for the answers.
Very nice, Zzavage! Thank you! I didnt know about this achievments crates and that some side quests rewarded with gilda stars. To complement, the warborn battle pet is in Communal Ranch, Sunbite Wilds.
battle pets, does the vendor have a specific name? i will play at the haranyan side (warborn, and i never had a battlepet before, stopped playing after the labyrinth came out) :D
Hey guy, I've just made my first character... And I did the whole purchase-mail-to-character thing for the labour system to work. Now if I make a new character it has the labour-thing automatically? Or?
Nice I am back playing AA and I had no idea about that quest marker show on the map! Hey another thing. If I am going to go Mage (cloth) and use Scepter/Shield for my phys def, ill be putting intelligence on all my gear except for my scepter/shield, what stats should I be putting on my scepter/shield for my phys def?
Hey zavage, just a noob question, does the golden wing glider costume which was included in chainbreaker pack, is it only used for experimental glider?
Another great video thank you o7 quick question. On release tomorrow for the NA servers what time can we start playing? Ive already made my character and am ready to go. Thank you in advance and keep on keepin on!!
Vpns helps with stablizing your ping by selecting the shortest route for your network to send data over to the server. You can always just get exitlag for a free 3 days trial to try and see does it help. Sometimes it doesn't do anything because you are basically already on the best route
With regards to VPN's, it is physically impossible to lower your ping with a VPN. By using a VPN you are literally adding in another hop for your connection. Please stop perpetuating this false information. You can lower your ping by changing the way your connection travels but you don't need a VPN for this. Other than this misinformation it was a good video.
That's literally what exitlag as a vpn does. Changes the routing of your connection. You can SAY it doesn't work all you like, but its literally been tested and proven that it works and does lower peoples ping. People can LITERALLY feel the ping difference when using VPN's like Exitlag, NoPing, and others. So its not false information :)
Technically it stabalise and try to minmize the range, not lower it. So many people who have clue how networking works assume vpns magically lower ping by a huge margin. Saying "lower" isn't wrong but it's misleading
Its technically not possible to lower ur ping via a vpn. Stabalising it, sure. But for most people with decent internet it will literally just increase ping
Lmfao you’re an idiot, I get 90 ping when playing LoL without a VPN but if I connect to a Chicago server it goes down to 61-65. This applies to WoW as well, for East serves I get 70-80 without VPN but if I use one it goes down to 50ish. And trust me it does work, movement and things like cast times are smoother as they should be.
One of the big problems is 30+ you hit the pvp zones for your quests so you either need a massive party/raid to do the quests or wait for the one hour of peace to do as many of the quests as you can
Why would a vpn help anyone ? The vpn connects to the game but you are still connected to the vpn with ur own internet. Makes no sense it should increase ur ping. Especially since most vpn servers are used by hundreds of people
I dont think you know what a VPN is... Anyone that knows how to google will tell you that a VPN DESTROYS your ping, its only useful to bypass IP Blocked services (different country Netflix/YT/Hulu/streaming video, browse the internet without being followed...etc a lotta shit that adds a heck of a lot of latency to your internet connection, thus more lag.
You know what I really wish somebody would have told me when I started? I wish somebody would have told me to install the glyph launcher on a different drive from Windows. Also to install the game in a subfolder of the glyph folder. Had I known that I wouldn't have spent three days continually re-downloading the game after it said that there was a Error with no explanation on how to fix it.
Okey this map tricked me with quests. I activated that game function to unlimited. and it said there was bunch of quests in towns, i go there, nothing.
Kinda sad, all the character reservation dates were in the middle of the day when I couldn't get on and I'm pretty sure my server is gonna be full and I wont be able to play with my guild :(
how the fuck do you think its faster to send a letter to a company which encypts it and after that, sends it to the Person which you wanted to send it from the beginning, instead of sending it to your desired person in the first place. think before you talk nonesense about VPN boosting Pings lol
Ok I'd rather you show some actual gameplay while talking. I think most of your target audience (people starting out/ people deciding whether they want to pick up the game) need some actual gameplay to really follow.
