Honestly, yes what posted in that link is totally true and many of us have been saying that. It only takes one high ping player to totally screw the entire match. I have pretty much taken a break from this game and will NEVER purchase a dice\ea product again. It’s soo funny that you guys think the development team doesn’t know that this is one of the major causes of the issues in this game. Every game company knows this. The problem is they really do NOTHING about it. Naughty Dog was the only company I have seen to try, and the back lash was harsh. Immediately after implying a strict ping setting and a strict latency ping kick, their forum was flooded by players from ( sorry to say this but its true) South America. It isn’t just their connections at home but also the line quality they have. ND’s response to players, sorry I guess this game isn’t for you. Then one week later they changed it back. Apparently Sony wasn’t liking players with horrid connections not spending $$$$ on their game because they couldn’t play. At that point I left the last of us. I started playing Black light and you know what, I’m actually having fun with it. Yes it has issues, but you know what I didn’t pay 70+ usd for it either. And if I do end up giving them money, good. I’d rather give money to a developer who is up and coming and trying than a company who takes your money and doesn’t fix crap and pretends they don’t actually know what’s wrong with their own game. Bull, they know, they just don’t want to fix it. ---

I’ve heard about the whole ND thing…I played the last of us multi-player once..it was trash…I had beaten the fame and traded it in before they applied the ping limit and kick..wish I could of played it…that multiplier had potential Sadly though it surffers from what every game suffers from…catering to less less fortunate ---

Bull, they know, they just don’t want to fix it. Man, that would be perfect for BF4. “Sorry South American laggers, this game isn’t for you”. Too bad they reversed their stance on it. I guess losing out on all that Favela money is a bad thing for their pocket book. ---

You think with the advantage high pingers get that they are gonna stay on there own servers.You must be having a laugh no point in giving places like Brazil servers they won’t use them. ---

You are missing the point about ping limits but I agree most players will always seek advantage. Japan is a prime example as they have their own servers but opt to play on east coast US. ---

I have noticed constant out of region players on East Coast servers. I once was playing with my platoon mates and didn’t realize that I was on a Europe server (most of my platoon is from Europe), and it was crazy. I was killing people that shot at me first, I think I had a kill with a guy that was shooting me in the back and I turned around and killed him. I was like holly crap it is an advantage. I really did feel bad though. ---

I really did feel bad though. I joined a European server and got kills _against enemies that I missed_. Like, completely. I wound up sending everyone on that server (minus the Brazilians) an apology. ---

I know this is a stupid question, but can somebody explain pings to me and why there is an advantage to playing on foreign servers? I by no means want to do this, but I’m a bit confused as to why this happens. ---
