There is a new Indian TF2 server from V-street.

IP : 180.149.241.18:27300

Getting good pings there like < 60.

:ohyeah:
 
Starhub I get really bad pings .... courtesy the great bsnl #*!*@&!! would be nice if we had a indian server ..... but sigh its never happened in so long and i get 130 in the morning isnt a good time to check :P
 
BSNL connection to Starhub is quite weird. I have two connections at home both BSNL, one is a 2mbps and another one 256kbps. Weird thing is that the 2mbps connection gives hopeless pings like >300 at best and generally 400+. The 256kbps one gives pings of ~60-70.

Has to be routing issues then i guess.

Yea, but can anything be done from my end to fix this? No point talking to BSNL, no one would have an idea of what I am talking. Still, its ok. I'm fine with 256kbps connection only. It is not capped, so its good for TF2 and getting some work done.

Sorry but no if its a routing issue, as its at the ISP side and cannot be fixed at your end.

i'm kinda guessing - but if u check ur ip - the 256k one will start with 59.xx.xx.xx and the 2mbps one will start with 117.xx.xx.xx - when i had the 59.xx.xx.xx line, my pings were stable, since i got the new line starting with 117, pings have been hopelessly phucked.
 
Nice, getting 10-15ms. But no hope of ever getting many players together on a regular basis as long as StarHub exists.

The 59.xx IPs are from the old NIB when it was called DataOne.
They shifted to 117.xx when they became BSNL Broadband.

Also, I seriously think that they like to change their routing randomly just to piss people off.

The old one is NIB 1 and the new one is NIB 2, i know that. And yeah i agree. I hope reliance takes over BSNL man, their routing is awesome.
 
I'm not sure, but i thing SH is purposely re-routing indian requests through SriLanka (WTF?) that are resulting in higher pings.

Guys, sorry for the OT. Had purchased the Orange box last year. Tried starhub at that time and quit due to horrible pings. Need to get into TF2 anhy tips n tricks for the ultra n00b?
PS: I am more of a FPS slam bang types (Q3A/TA | UT3 | SS) and am yet to get my feet in this "Class" based thingy. Any help will be appreciated!

^TF2's learning curve has become quite steep with all the new maps, modes, class upgrades etc.

What I would recommend is going through the TF2 wiki first.

Team Fortress Wiki

Get to know all the classes, their main weapons, their attack specialties (defensive, aggressive etc). Know their weaknesses and strengths.

Another wise thing to do would be to go through all the maps -

http://tf2wiki.net/wiki/Maps

Team Fortress HQ - Official Maps

Reading is quite fun and you would be able to identify with things when you play.

When you finally start playing, I would recommend starting with the training mode first. Keep at it for some time till you get the gist of how a round progresses.

Last but not the least, add me and other TE people who play online. Join our game if we are playing and get on our team. That would be the best way to learn! :)

Happy gaming! :D
 
Thanks Sei! Fear of rejection was keeping me from joining you guys. Have been reading this and the item treading thread for a while. But was concerned if you guys'd be disappointed to have a lamer join the ranks. :P

Have resintalled steam and TF2 on the sig in the rig. Will be upgrading to a better GPU to support 1900x1200. Will add you guys tonight, and once KI am through with the practice sessions will try n get my bum burnt with the real thing.
