Anti-Idle

[PrinceBrightstar]

Has anyone else noticed getting 630'd a bit more often when standing around? I know this is a feature of the shared ship but I'm wondering if this was brought over to the regular ships.

no DC here, still connected after away for 6hrs +
probably its the ISP that cuts connection whenever there's not enough traffic..?
or maybe have something to do with connection priority like prioritizing connection from JP IP.

DC while idle? This bring me back. I used to live in a rural area that was borderline in range for high speed internet. I used to get that all the time if I wasn't idling in populated block around the hotspots, otherwise the lack of data transfer would make me drop connection.

Same thing when watching a story cutscene that took more than 2-3 minutes. And back when PSO2 came out, your character wasn't officially saved on the server until you were done with the tutorial. That day saw a lot of cursing on my part and was one of the reason I didn't touch pso2 again until the following year, 3-5 months before EP2 iirc.

Haven't had any unusual d/c while idle, but I have been "moved" to an unpopulated block while idle before. On two occasions, I was idle in one of the 20-something blocks, waiting for Magatsu. Came back about an hour later and while I was in the exact location I was before, I had been moved to one of the empty 30-something blocks.

I was alone & did not have Premium on both occasions.

I think it's your ISP, the same happened to me when i tried to play PSO2 using tethered internet connection using my phone, as it'll disconnect when connection are idle.

This can be avoided by going to populated room (lobby, casino, etc) or using your command prompt to ping any whatever website you want nonstop to prevent your internet connection goes idle.
Though on certain case, that your adapter might have power saving feature, you can disable it from device manager usually.

as for ping u might wanna try doing higher bytes ping like [ping -t -l 500 google.com]
that will gives u 500 Bytes ping, usually works to lock my network to HSPA back then

Actually no, lower are recommended since the only purpose it serve are to prevent connection from idling.
I'm usually just ping 4 bytes worth of data.
Higher than that means wasted data transfer, especially if OP runs with data plan limit.

yes it does consume more traffic, but at some connection the min required sometimes too big like my connection back then D:
the best is lowest possible bytes indeed
