jk XD

My ping is the same, if not a bit better and I'm in WA

[Mordred]

I can confirm mine is the exact same, but I know for a fact this is affecting Waffles.

[Mr Waffles]

yes correct my ping has gone through the roof after the host changed

Okay so I spoke to Kortari earlier about my half baked theory:
Because this is a new host on a new address that has barely been used in the past, it's possible that you're having trouble finding the best rdoute to the server, your location may also be a factor (I assume you're both from the same part of NZ?), in saying that, So_Salty's ping is fine.
People in WA, SA, VIC, and TAS should find a slight improvement in ping from the last host, because this one is hosted in Melbourne, as opposed to the last one being in Sydney.
Also Stigin ran a traceroute on you and it's quite easily the strangest one I've seen in a while. I can PM it to you if you like.

Ok so I'm not a tech guy so this might be a reall dumb question. I'm just curious why the ping would be better in Melbourne even though Melbourne is further away than Sydney. Once again might be a really retarded question

[Some Random Gamer]

Eh, my ping is random as usual. My lag has not changed, but I think that's client-side. I have no idea what causes it, either. Sucks as well, because during one of my lag spikes, if I fire a gun, it consumes ammo, hits the target, and does 0 damage.

How the fuck is Melbourne further from you than Sydney?
So I used this screenshot. 

~18cm from A-M 
~31cm from A-S
How?
Also network cables, if Melbourne is physically closer to your location, you get better ping to it.
