I concede on high ping being an advantage
GG’S DICE.
I am just very glad to see they are aware and will try to bring balance.
Thank god..it’s about time…Fix this DICE and your game will be epic
Good news, at least for the CTE players and cpu players lets just hope this is addressed on console. It is really amazing to see how many players join out of region. At this point I do not believe it is a mistake , these players that play out of region are clearly trying to gain an advantage.
Not to say all players are trying to gain an advantage but clearly people understand the problem and still choose to play out of region. I understand that Brazilian players have only East Coast servers at the moment and really have no choice but Asian and EU players including NA players in EU servers is really making this game unplayable and clearly giving ‘high ping’ players an advantage.
Dice needs to add South American servers and give admin’s the right to “ping lock” their servers. If you want to ruin the game for others continue to join out of region, but understand that you are apart of the problem and not the solution.
All very true and good points. I think it is safe to assume they must address the issue across all platforms. They may not be allowed to ping limit on console but then again, other games on console already have it in place. I would like to think that a paid for server would have the option to limit ping.
They need to have ping limit servers set up..that way you can see what you are pinging and play with other people with your same ping..50ms and under server…50-100. 100-150. 150-200 200- 250 and so on
How many times is this high ping advantage crap still gonna around for. I don’t have the best connection and I can tell you from a personal experience that I always suffer a disadvantage when coming up against players with a better connection. Lag/high ping advantage is a farce created by bad players who need an excuse when they get owned by players who are just better than they are
Not a fix by any means but why console players cannot see player ping is just beyond me. Many games already have this in place. Unless they are trying to hide something - I don’t know why it is missing. At the very least, admins that care about a level field could kick accordingly. Then again, admins would also like to play and not spend the entire match having to admin.
You’re a funny little guy..why don’t you go play the adults are talking…that’s little buddy
Bad players with their excuses.. Tsk Tsk. GG guys. Keep discussing reasons why you are bad at this game.
lol and from South Africa too boot. Let me know when you are on my east coast US servers. At least give me that courtesy.
@muncy, a high ping is not the same as a bad connection
Please ignore the troll. This news is too important to allow a troll to derail it. I think this is our best bet yet to see balance come to the game. Just that they are aware makes me have hope.
I read the original topic in reddit.
Don’t get your hopes up completely.
This won’t be here for awhile.
Yes hopefully this works, cause if it doesn’t everyone on the forums will then be saying “that was never the problem to begin with” just like they did with tick rate
I’m no troll. I am stating the obvious. Your stats suck. Barely got a 1KD. Under 300SPM. Everyone who complains about this so called lag advantage are players with stats like yours. Look for yourself.
You may know better but again, the issue is now front and center and that is good news.
Dear Troll, if you could be honest for a split second, did it ever occur to you that it may be very hard to have great stats when on the other side of the lag compensation? Of course not. You would never think along those lines. Instead, you troll and call out stats. It doesn’t matter to you that 8 out of 10 times I am killed with one bullet from any distance. It doesn’t mater to you that I have to fire 1/2 a clip in to a bullet soaking laglord 6000 miles away from my local to get the kill. Why should it when you are the cause of it. Your days are numbered, troll.
Poet, thought you was leaving the forums? I knew you couldn’t stay away
