These are incredible . What modifiers did you use on the last one and how did you light it ? <| sep |> You know why ? Cuz Taylor is no longer there , <| sep |> no , from our experience rock elements take more damage against worms <| sep |> peering within different ISP is not always optimum . if your computer and the servers are on a different ISP , the ISP might have a nonoptimum peering between each other and the route that your traffic take between your computer to the game server might be a bit slow . if you connect to a VPN server near you , that have a very good peering with the game server , it can result in a reduced latency . I use this when i am in asia and want to play to US server . From my home in asia , i get terrible ping to the game server in LA . However somehow i get very good ping to a VPS provider also provided in LA . So i setup a VPN in LA , which i have low ping between the vpn and my home . Then the VPN in LA have very good ping to the game server . I dont understand your example fully , i am not sure what you refer by central . Also I dont find where you mention the location of the VPN server , which is critical to understand your situation . So i just assume your VPN server must be close to central , thats why you get faster ping to central games server while you redirect your internet traffic to a central VPN . And longer ping towards the west server , since your ping now have to go through the central vpn server .
