Ping limit on (most) servers

(Equanimity) #1

I know there is a problem with the South American servers now being in Florida. Which obviously is something that needs to change, but that aside…

Each region has a server for obvious reasons. I really feel like, at least on the NA East / West servers (and maybe EU), we need a ping limit. 200/250 or so seems appropriate. Maybe once the South American servers get fixed we can add those to the list. I’m not sure where the Asia and the Aus (and RUS) servers are particularly located so I can’t comment on if they would function well for their player bases with a ping limit, but I know when I see someone in a US East server with more than 200 ping I’m wondering how it is even possible that they thought it appropriate to join that server at all (unless they’re in Iceland or something, but even then EU > ?). It’s frustrating for everyone to have to play with people who are so laggy, and it has to be frustrating for the player themselves, too.

I came across so many people with 400-988 pings in this game. And trying to kick them is useless. Most people don’t even know what pings are or how they affect the player, his mates and his enemies, so they vote no. A ping limit is a must-have in an online game, even more in an FPS.

You can guarantee every single game in an Australian server will have 3 or 4 x 400ms pingers. It’s Quick Join. It’s been broken since the beginning of the game and puts europeans and americans etc in our servers, the same way it puts us in theirs.

Reported back in January, and it was happening long before that. It’s never been fixed, and they’ve never mentioned it on their streams or in patch notes or anything, so I can only assume they decided not to fix it since Quick Join is eventually disappearing when matchmaking comes out.

Once Quick Join is gone, it won’t be a problem.

Quick join wasn’t even working for me, it always took me on an empty server. ALWAYS…ALONE :((

I live in New Zealand, and have a 28 ping on AUS servers, and 170 ping on US West servers. 200 ping limit would be great.

Had some guy yesterday spiking from 200 to 400 the entire match, impossible to fight against :confused:

I live in Israel but Quick Play often puts me in US servers where I have 150 ping instead of EU where I only have 70.
There’s no need in a ping limit because it would suck for people with potato internet but we need an option like in csgo where we can select our max acceptable ping so you never get placed in servers where your ping is bigger than what you set (default will be 100)

it would suck for people like me because i often have lag spikes ( randomly from 80 ping to 400 ping )
and it would suck because i would most likely get kicked :confused:

I live in Israel too. The best ping I get is 88 but with connection spikes… What ISP are you in?
