350 ping limit

Post by RydnDirty » Fri Nov 03, 2017 2:07 am

Hi, This server is my favorite thing and been on it a lot but today the enforced ping limit of 350 means me and my friends in Australia and Asia can't play any more. Australian ping is about 366 usually.

I've been flying in formation with US and Europeans players for months none of us have seen any warping. I suspect the warping is from packet loss more than from high ping.... People trying to play on a crappy wireless connection. Shame you don't host on a US server so anywhere in the world would be under 250 ping. Are you really going to ban us all from now on?

Jockel, please comment.

My point of view is that ping limit should be at least 400 because of our antipodeans.

I'm in Vietnam and i have the same problem, I've never experienced any in server lagging or such, but suddenly I'm banned from my favorite server. I really hope that you will reconsider this.

I can confirm that he has never been warping on my screen flying with him. Packet loss is always the issue when it comes to warping, though very very rarely seen that on your server even before the ping limit.

I'd say that the ping limit is not a good thing as it limits so many people from playing.

I agree mate. Ping limits are for those huge pings where there is a problem, not for global play.

Ironjockel will be along to comment in a minute.
