DICE Comments on High Ping Advantage

Battlefield 4 Console
61

Uses lag as an excuse in one sentence, in the next says only bad players use it as an excuse.

I love guys like you.
You make it so easy.

62

Bump

63

I wonder if I have lag advantage at some games… I do get the lag disadvantage now and then.

64

Well I’ve reach my “Brazilian in east us servers WTF moment” quota for the day…guess I’ll play again 2morrow

65

Then you have people like you that have no region that they can call their own so that makes them one of the high ping players that has over a 2.0 k/d. You only think you are good cause of the lag advantage but you aren’t even on the other guys screen yet when you start shooting him.

66

Boom..he just used u to disprove your own “there is no high ping advantage” theory. .go play in traffic MuNny

67

I hardly go into any outside region servers, unless quick match is deliberately screwing me over. Then I feel bad a bit. Asides that, I make sure my options in server browser is always checked on US west/east. Having experience with no problems on BF3 before, I would expect the same in this game as well. Hearing this sounds like a good thing…

68

These recent FPSs are trash

69

PS4/XB Might be getting region lock or ping cap…

70

If you think a high ping doesn’t affect the game in anyway you are more stupid than a dead cactus.

71

So what’s your take, High? Do you think real change will come and soon or?

72

I play hardcore on X1 on Australian servers, hardcore cannot be joined using quick join. Every day the server will be at least half full of people who aren’t from Aus/NZ, all of whom have looked through the server browser and then joined a server that gives them 2-3 bars out of 5, then all sorts of BS starts happening, like rockets or tank shells visibly hitting and exploding on target but no damage registering, or the classic 10+ bullets into an enemies back and he turns around and lazily guns you down. During BF3 I played on a rented server that religiously kicked out anyone that wasn’t from Aus or NZ and the lag was negligible. Now that rent a server is available for BF4(finally) there is no way to check anyones country of origin and get rid of the scrubs that region hop to gain a lag advantage, if dice isn’t going to offer region locked servers at least implement some way of telling where someone is from, like a ping bar would be an easy fix and something that would actually improve the game for a lot of people instead of all the BS netcode “fixes” dice is trying to BS everyone with.

73

Small point of order here:

It is the same for Europeans with hordes of Americans and Canadians in them! Please remember that when talking about Out Of Region players.

74

Absolutely and without question.

75

I’ve played on Australian servers..the only people that could kill me where out jumpers from the US

76

i was playing with him the other day (t!gga his name on battlelog) (tiggr his name on reddit)

he take all our suggestion and does his best to make them happen,

if anyone can make high ping kick happen this is the man who can.

(t1gga the man who makes sh!t happen)

77

Thanks for the reply. Going to try to stay positive this time around!

78

I’m just glad the issues was finally acknowledged
