As a diagnostic step, can you log in to your droplet’s web console as root and ping outwards from there to known sites like google.com, yahoo.com, etc? This will at least tell you that your networking stack is available and that ICMP protocol is working outwards. As a sanity check, also ping your IP address from the console. If that all works, then you may need to check your firewall to make sure ICMP services are not being blocked.
Me, too. I create 6 coreos droplet, but none of them could be ping.
