I would have posted a tracert earlier but you tagged me wrongly :( and I had not checked PG for three days.
Anyways pings on my end are horrible for some reason.

Please tracerts, not ping results. And no, peering needs to be optimised at Transworld's end for Dubai server to be <50 ms. Their forward path is not being advertised properly, pretty sure its dynamic but then again I don't work @ TW so I am just speculating :laugh1:

Transworld peering to Dubai is not direct just yet; according to miltons post on dev.dota2.com he has raised the issue with datamena so that they can contact TW directly to fix the issue.

PTCL users are straight up boned; PTCL is unwilling to peer because it is not a "feasible" option for them at the moment; confirmation direct from the gent that manages the [MENTION=24169]ptcl[/MENTION]cares twitter account.

PTCL hasn't made any changes yet in regards to routing to Dubai; only changes that have been effected have been by Datamena on valves end, nor should one expect PTCL to make changes any time soon

Have yet to see whether TW will respond and change things after being contacted by Datamena though, will see.

Trace complete.
The high latency spike in between is due to some heavy load on my DSL modem. But still we can get the idea. So any new on DXB server by Milton ?

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    "These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is

    Microsoft deserves all the hate they can get. Seriously i can't explain how much i want to curse them out.

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
