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

If they don’t do this, BF4 will be dead by the end of the summer.

Good, I am sick of those laggy Brazilian scrubs coming into my games.

yep too right dude, because after lagturds push the core fans away they will not play by and with them selves 'cause no advantage, and we (I have been playing battlefield since bad company 1 and bf1943 and it never been so bad in lag ever ever) will give up because it becomes unplayable when they join…

I think it’s safe to say we all know that sonys, Microsoft policies are out of date in regards to ping display.

Why not tweet someone like shuhei yoshida, who has the power to do something about ping display or start a petition ?

I’ve really had enough of the high ping killers. The best way to explain it is - about 8-12 bullets to kill them and 1/2-1 bullet to kill you. It is non stop, day in and day out on local US servers. It is very hard to get your game on when you know you will be dropped in a near blink. I truly welcome this news and hope we can get more information: Ping limit set to xx ms? Rented or all servers? Etc. Thank you again OP for sharing. I may be able to enjoy my new PS4 yet :slight_smile:

Well I dont use Twitter, dont know how it works…
But I have been very “vocal” in Battlelog but so far the only persons who gave me feedback were:

  • AUTh0rity
  • DTHbyDARKethreal
    Noone from DicEa has come forth and spoke about this, even EA_Stiv said he would pass along the information of the post but that would not mean any feedback…

in the end I dont have many resources do spread this, ppl who can sometimes dont care about it,
it is very annoying to see all this CTE going on and not be able to get a DIRECT ANSWER from DICE because I dont play it on PC and who plays on Pc dont care about consoles

In my view consoles will always be in this gameplay state which is random most of the times is like lottery You may hit the jackpot but it wont last…

So is this just wishful thinking or what? Believe it when you see it type news? Sux if so. We really need to lock down this house.

Region lock wont stop the laggers the only thing that will stop them is ping limits/locks.

That’s what is being said they are adding. Not region lock but a ping limit. Yeah the tittle says both. You’re right there. If this is true and the admin can set the limit, that opens another can of worms IMO but I guess it depends on how high the limit can go. Anything over 75ms is nonseasonal.

Sorry but I didnt understant the meaning of this^ sentence…
I am not whishing, Console need this there is a third party program which is Pro-con Plug-in for Pc Servers, we dont have nothing, not even the ping display where We would be able to spot who was messing the server and could move on to another one…

Since last wednesday I felt the charms of the “Bubble” (HFU) and without high pingers it is a whole new game well it is a game not a party of lagturds…

They can continue to patch the game all they wont but with out Ping limit and ping display it will always be a lagfest

Edit***

I think it is against Sony and Microsoft policies
for our doom

I completely agree with you. I was asking you if you think this news (shared in this thread) is just wishful thinking. In other words, a ping limiter on console will never come? :frowning:

Shuhei yoshida is cool, is the president of sony computer entertainment.

You can tweet him @yosp and he will get back to you.

For what I ve heard it is against some thing “bla, bla , bla” but none of this was told by someone official, so the only thing right to do is continue asking and bitching…
Some of those policies were made for PX2 maybe in the 2000 year we are in 2014 with new consoles with much more raw power which should mean more bandwidth as requirement and not dial ups from when jesus were born…

thank you , I will do that right now

Brazil will cry if this is implemented

A lot will be crying if this is implemented not only Brazil, but a lot more will be thrilled when it does (do hope it does no matter what the Bu* policies are)

welll how do I do That ?
there are almost infinitive "Shuhei yoshida " on Twitter

They are almost as bad as France and Japan. Both flock to the US servers intentionally and both have their own servers - but whatever it takes to win I guess. Despicable really.

Brohei Broshida @yosp is the correct one mate.

this game is catering for nationality hate…
I think most of the times ppl dont even realize that are playing out of region due the quick join…
Yes quick join and the sucky new feature that is squad up and quick join…

But some still do what U say , do it on purpose which is really sad

Good if it’s true while there at it they can fix the ps4 bf5 server browser that shows nothing but empty servers every time i use it.

There is no BF5…
And have you tried using filters?
