Painfully true, Mr Elite, hopefully they realize we don’t want that crap interacting with player packets at all, and can give us a game that isn’t balanced for the lowest common denominator. ---

I’m just not entirely convinced a ping lock would fix all of it, and I would hate to see the forums explode again like they did after the 30Hz update for a ping lock patch. > > DICE does see this, and I would hate for them to think that the calls for ping locks are only coming from lowly little blackberries. I doubt that it _would fix it all_, but at least would fix a big portion of it…I said before, I am no High tech (every thing I learned so far it has been from gathering information and researching…) but I have been playing games all my life I can tell when the game feels off or when the kill felt right or my death felt just… eliminating\reducing the ping issue in servers would benefit the research for the lag compensation… and again it would be only for private servers which private users rent for their private benefit with their private rules …like PRIVATE Where would this Harm Dice Ea or high ping players?? they would continue to fill other servers europe, USA asia Mars FTW My mind cant grasp the idea that this is not possible!!! i cant simply cant I saw Killzone 3 having custom layout controls while in battlefield they just mess every time with them FFS even in PC #Q# is adressed to command ROSE I am a QWE player not a AWD… Are the ppl that bind controls sever head injured? Is it OP having throttle up \down in the same side of the control??? at least my brain can adapt to this because with time I think I can manage… But high pingers??? I am sorry it simply impossible to Ur brain predict their movement because it is not real in Ur screen… Fair ? Balance? BUllocks ---

I was kinda thinking both private and public, but yeah, there is no excuse for them to not allow a ping lock on private servers. I think the ping lock would help immensely, I just want the community to understand what they are asking for, we do not need anymore red herrings on the forums for people to flame about all day. If we all continue to rant and rave they will not listen to us, they are people too, and they like I, should not have to take advice from people who spend half their breath cursing the product DICE have made, then follow that up with a lecture to a developer about how they need to “care” about the players. If we want a better game, we should at least use decent respectful english to ask for it. I don’t mean you specifically Kuasi, but these forums are mostly trolls and little kids who are here to bother everyone else, and if we want attention we can not act like the majority of people on these forums. ---

The game needs strict ping limits on ALL its servers…back when i used to play Counter-strike on pc nearly all servers had ping filters…if your ping exceeded the limit you were auto-kicked…it kept everyone in there own regions…dice/ea should be doing this…hell…all game devs should be doing this with there games…its unacceptable ---

If DICE/EA did that it would alienate a large chunk of the user base, our best bet is to hope it gets implemented into rented servers, and that the frame history on the public server side gets decreased so people stop dying ten feet around walls in public matches. I don’t think it would be a big deal if you only died 1 foot behind cover instead of 15. This problem is not as simple as kick all high pingers because EA is a business, not a charity. I share your frustration Kuasi, but I promise we will get a better response if what we ask for is actually something that can be done, it sucks that this game still doesn’t work right, but we’re both still here and we might as well try to fix the game with positivity. And honestly the respectful talk comment has nothing to do with you, I think you present yourself in a way that a dev might read what you write, but thats very far from the norm, unfortunately. ---

I understand the business part, I understand it very well… Edit\*Console are 2\3 of their income , even the price of the game is higher than on PC Because of being a business here it goes: I rent a server 60 bucks 90 days (that is very expensive for one person only). If I want my server to be full It has to be with the default maps (60 bucks) If i want it to play good , I have to be patrolling my own server (which I wont be playing at all), player by player which can be to a total of 63 (60 bucks) from those 63 players we have to assume that they all are true persons and their dog tags flags are also correct (wrong ) the ones are using them, I could go on listing business here but the business it is for companies, I am an individual that at the end of the day wants to have fun playing this game and not raging because some dude got shot 3 times close range with a shot gun and killed U with a single shot while sliding and pointing in the opposite direction (yes it still happens not as often but is still here and I still blame the ping on this too) All these things we say here and assume or think about, I believe DicEa already did this (if not save us all from future releases). If not able to do this at least FOR PRIVATE SERVERS be true about it and explain us why… Always been taught that is better live with a certain NO than the whole time in doubt… Doubt is a consuming thing while a negative response you can always move ON > [@](#): > > And honestly the respectful talk comment has nothing to do with you, I think you present yourself in a way that a dev might read what you write, but thats very far from the norm, unfortunately i tried every way I thought… i am not the most resourceful person, I manage to ask Battlenonsense to make a video about it which he did (Thank You), I also emailed Levelcarp (this one I already UNSUBSCRIBED him not worth it just like politicians , after they get on the chair wont mind no more about us), talked with some guy that continue posting things from CTE that did not end well and TBH pc players dont give a dime about us … I made so much noise that even EA\_Stiv said taht It would pass the information but could not promisse that it would be implemented… What else can I do… I continue to see ppl posting things like Aim Assist or AN 94 when the core game is broken… Broken by the high ping players Iknow it, U know it I know that DicEa knew it all along even when they released it but they never thought it would have such a negative impact as it does … ---

I was playing a squad of South Africans on an EU server. I asked the guy what his latency was from the connection test. 390ms. 390MS! This was domination. A fast paced infantry only game mode where every gunfight counts. I was getting shot round corners and only getting notified I was being shot at upon my death. 390ms. How is that ok? I ping 30ms to EU servers from battlelog on my laptop, yet my connection test on PS4 shows 110ms. Is PSN really adding 80ms latency to my packets? There is something going on with the online console infastructure that makes this problem worse. ---

I gave up on domination and Squad Death match a long time ago(which by the way one of my favorites game modes) It is simply not wort it the rage, I stick to conquest large, which there are more players, even having lots of OOR (ruining the server performance, it gets slower the server dont know WHY) I rage less, Domination is simply unreal and unfair playing against these high pingers and it seems they are the general public of the matches GO FIGURE?!?!?!??!? Broken ? Unfair? nahhhhh FUN ---

Since the update, the server farm name has changed from monkey-warsaw to PS4-Codebreaker. I now ping 60ms via the in BF connection test compared to the 110ms pre patch, still 30ms via my laptop. Whatever they have done with this patch, it has improved hit detection for me and lowered my ping in game. So, kudos for that dice. Any chance of that ping limit option though? ---
