I seriously have to question the logic behind the thinking that a region lock is not needed. Look at the only people getting kills during the time the server lags out… All the OOR people are getting kills while everyone else is stuck and can not do a single thing.
I dont normally complain about this game, I realize it is far from perfect. I do however enjoy playing it. This kind of stuff makes me want to punt kittens across the street. I will never understand why EA as a company caters to people that thrive off of things like Lag Advantage. They use it as much as possible.
I would be willing to bet that Dice/ EA could easily afford to build a server farm down south somewhere. Or at the very least they could hire some smart college student who could write the code to make region lock a thing on ALL servers. Hell have an intern do it and it doesnt even cost the company a single penny.
That video just pisses me off because gameplay like that completely ruins the experience, it ruins the fun, it ruins the feeling that you have a chance.
well.. they use the same servers I am sure. They just dont bother to name them that. What needs to happen is either a region lock, or give them their own servers to play on. It really wouldnt be hard to code in a ping check before letting someone join a server.
That is the only thing that I can think of as well.
I would think that since they have the lag advantage.. when someone joins with a stupid high ping.. I am sure that while they may be from the same region.. their service sucks.. so the game gives them some sort of boost or something.
Not for nothing but I remember when I would try to speak about this epidemic a few months back and was hit with the ‘Git gooder’ and ‘learn to aim’ nonsense. It seems now the high ping lag caused by OORs is simply too obvious do deny and/or mock. I truly wish I was wrong. The video shows just another day on a local US server. I plan to upload a few myself now that I am on the PS4 and can record. It’s very sad.What ever will be done about it?
ps. yes bandwidth, or the lack there of, is also playing a factor. The only way to combat it is to place a strain on your connection. You should see OHKs ease some once you do.
Lol, seems like any game I’m in anymore has a lag spike like that. It’s become just another part of the match. I have 20 mob internet and have been contemplating lowering it to 10 mb. Wonder it that’d make a difference
10mbps won’t matter. You need to get down to BR levels. More like 1mpbs down and 500k up. Then add about 300ms ping on top of said speeds.
Awry_Eyed_Recon - your video is extreme for sure. Do you play Domination often? If you do, the lag/advantage really gets showcased. It’s the OHKs (non head shot) by an AR at any distance, the bullet soaking and bend that is extreme.
Dom is pretty much all I play these days… as I said.. I dont see it very often.. but when I do.. it is as bad as in the video. I can usually just equip the pig (m60) and deal with them pretty handily.. but that in the video… that is a whole different load of doo doo.
No it wont.. I am well within the ToS… most of the time when people make threads about this.. they do nothing but use profanity and insult everyone. There are ways to discuss things like this without being a dolt about it..
