elim ping maximum

[FeLiX_dA_kAt]

for this competitive arena, can we limit ping to something reasonable? (<200ms)

[Rab]

Agreed

[Falconeer]

what's the limit now? hard to believe it would be more than 200ms... lol

[qan]

Lag limits are somewhat more complicated than a single number. How much is allowed as spike vs average, levels allowed on packetloss, etc. We also have only one server, which is unusual for a game these days, so people connect from all around the world to the same place, some with rather high average ping.

I'll have to check the exact numbers. I'm imagining the lag limits are set fairly loose, as while elim is competitive, it's not meant to be particularly strict or exclusive.

[Jessup]

Elim should not be so strict. It is one of the only places players who are twd or twl denied due to lag can play.

[Mootland Farmer]

Are we still on Hopone? As each jump increased the ping for those who where further away from the server. A high ping is not too bad if it is constant and doesn't spike.

[qan]

Yep, spiking and packetloss are more a problem than steady latency, which is far more predictable and thus shows better on screen of enemies.

I checked lag limits and they were a little bit high compared to most other arenas. Hadn't been updated in some time. Lowered slightly, which should prevent really terrible connections from playing but not affect people with normal or even slightly subpar connections who are outside the US.

[Rab]

Plz tell us the numbers so we can discuss it.

Age old trick in elim. If you see someone lagging, just type /!lag turban (insert name) ...it will check them and spec them if they are having X above X (insert limits). Did this a few days ago and worked like a charm.

[Rab]

That's why we need to know what the limits are. I use that feature on the bot and it tells me the person is laggy as fuck, then it doesn't spec them.

[Falconeer]

Plz tell us the numbers so we can discuss it.

Is rab sure he wants to discuss? or does he mean ?ignore everyone who disagrees with him and beg qan to listen? If so, he should just PM qan imo.

Also yeah probably good to have transparency and release the lag limit values? Does the bot say?
