Gunzby Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I'm in NC and have as of yet to connect to an east coast server. I either connect to Omaha or Seattle. The only time I connect to something around me is when I get a P2P lobby and I have to shrink my geofilter down and set my PA at 0 to get that. My connection to both those servers is good, but because of the distance it opens up a can of worms with the other players in the lobby meaning those servers are turd sandwiches for me.

Alex49H Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Never. I have GF around Kansas and strict on and connect there and then back to the Cali servers. I live 30 miles away from the servers in Cali and they jmhave an 11ms ping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infernomachine Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Im in MA and I never connect to anything east coast either. to be honest they old NJ server was terrible and avoid it like the plague. I for now need to keep bleeding edge and cloud off to find any games. With it off I find games very quickly and connect to a server in Indiana of course its not updated so i honestly dont know where it acyaully is but connection is much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FQs19 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I've never connected to any dedicated server other than ones in PA and NJ on BO3 for PS4. I have Bleeding Edge and Cloud ticked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero_Actual Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I'm from the Omaha area and I can tell you there's no servers here! I can't even get on the Wichita, Kansas or Kansas City, Missouri servers for nothing. I can however connect to the Dallas, Chicago, New York or even North Carolina servers no problem if I set my geofilter around those areas. I can't force anything on the west coast for reason.

JConnor Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I can get on the NY, NJ and other East Coast servers, but they are terrible, for me at least. I did a trace route and one of the reasons is my ISP routes my data out of the country and back in which adds a lot more latency (even if small) versus a direct shot (literally) to the KC server in the Mid-West. On top of that, the NY server has people from the EU playing on it as well which makes most of the connections yellow, or red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex49H Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I am not sure if this will help Chris but after updating to the new firmware I did a factory reset from the Miscellaneous screen. This morning AcTivision may have adjusted or updated their servers: 1) I was able to place my home location and GF around the Kansas server and only played on it and it was at 60ms. Strict mode on. PA at 0. 2) I then moved my home to Nevada and expanded GF to include the server in Los Angeles and I only played on it with Strict on and PA at 0. It was at 11 ms. So what I am thinking is the factory reset helped and possibly AcTivision / Treyarch finally got their act together and their servers are slowly come up to par as they were during the beta.

Gunzby Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 Oops I meant Kansas. I'm a dummy. I do get a good ping to that server. The problem is the other players in that lobby because of my distance to that server. I'm on right now and connected eat coast and the connection was superior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunzby Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 It seems that anytime I try to find a game it immediately goes to Kansas. I have to just wait it out I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero_Actual Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Anymore more I just throw my location in the ocean and set ping assist to 37ms with strict on. And guess what, I always get put on the Dallas, Texas sever every time. Not complaining cause it plays well. It just seems odd since by moving the home location in the ocean it puts that server about 1400 miles away and that's the only one it puts me on.

I know from a friend that sever in Texas is great because it doesn't have a lot of traffic possibly and it plays well for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero_Actual Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 In the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Florida. And I'm pretty sure it's not a misplaced server location. I can set my home location right on top of it or where I actually love and get the same results ping results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would stick to playing on that server then if it continues to play well. I will have to try it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dillinger Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 For all players: You can view the dedicated locations that are available (about 80% of the time) by doing this: 1) Laptop on, Geo filter set (I recommend the state of Illinois), but have the map zoom where you can see the entire country (or the world if you are curious). 2) Turn on console and boot up main menu 3) Watch the map on the geo and hit the 'Multiplayer' button - the system will download any patches and it will flash a bunch of circles around the country. Those circles are the dedicated boxes answering your multiplayer request. You 'SHOULD' be able to place your home over one of them, with a small geo-filter and 0 ping assist to camp them. That is what I have been doing and it's been working a lot more than it hasn't, even with a party. Specifics: I live outside Seattle and use my Home Location and Geo Filter to AVOID it like the plague. I play in Kansas and on the twin sets of dedi's in Illinois (when gaming with Vanilla Gorilla) and they play MUCH better. This was on PS4 XB1, as I am playing that version now thanks to a broken trigger on my PS4 BBC , I have been playing on Kansas or Nebraska or whatever that central square state is with the big dedicated bank. Ping is about 67ms for me, but the hit detection is good about 4 out of 5 games. Playstation Players - I can't echo what Fuzzy/Vanilla Gorilla was saying about Illinois' servers strongly enough! Place your home in the center of the state (0 PA) and include the dedicated servers in the SW and NE corners. There are a lot of individual addresses in those two banks, and not every box is good, but my bad games are pretty small and you know within the first two gunfights if your effed. I ran an entire first prestige for BO3 on the Illinois dedis while I was off work the last couple of weeks, so I have a lot of game time on them. YMMV, JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lthoma1989 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I live I Georgia and I can play on any of the dedicated servers on the east coast. My PA is set to 13 ms and my range is 525km. I also have auto & bleeding cloud ticked. I play mainly on the Atlanta server since so far it's has been working best for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iAmMoDBoX Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I've said this before but nobody seems to remember... Geo-Location an IP address is not 100% accurate. I don't know what database the Netduma team is using to map IPs to their locations, but I will say it again - When something shows up in Kansas, odds are 99% of the time they are NOT located in Kansas. This means the IP can not me found in the database, and for some odd reason IP mapping defaults to Kansas as the location. For example, 9/10 times when I'm on AT&T's LTE on my phone and I open the speedtest.net app - it finds my IP and thinks I'm in Kansas so it shows me the Wichita server to test to. Now I am in NJ so clearly I'm not in Kansas lol Another example is when I'm playing with a friend who lives in Michigan. His circle shows up in Kansas, but I've known him for years and that's not where he lives. Now if he disconnects his Nighthawk router and reboots his modem - his IP changes and his location goes back to Michigan. This can be looked up and there are countless articles about geo-location accuracy, and forum posts of people saying the same things on their ISP forums. Basically if you live on the east coast and you're connect to a server that shows up in Seattle, but you have 15ms ping - it's located in the wrong place. There is no way it's physically possible to ping 15ms across the entire country. The speed of light can't be made faster lol And that's why Ping Assist was invented. To find servers with low ping that are mapped to the wrong place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunzby Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 Well wherever it is that is what I connect to every game unless I put my geofilter under it and have my PA set at 0. Regardless my games are horrid whenever I would see that pop up and good whenever it shows that I am connected within 700 miles of me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JConnor Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 There is a server (farm) in Kansas because when you boot up the game, it's one of the circles that immediately pops up along with the standard Seattle, LA, NYC and other servers. Also, like I mentioned in another thread, a lot of big companies e.g. MS and Sony, are setting up server farms in the heartland because of lowered costs for both electricity and cooling. Remember, a server farm can be as big as a football stadium. It's not just the back room of a typical office complex with two, three racks of servers & routers. Everybody's experience will be different, but like I wrote earlier in the thread, the reason I camp the Kansas server is because it is a direct shot... literally... From my home location (where I really am versus the Home Location) to it. All the other servers are routed out of the country, down the East Coast (to Florida) and then back up to say the Chicago server. So, this is why I use the Kansas server(s) for both XB1 and PS4.
