  • Lag restrictions in twd and twl

    Lag is not a player's fault unless the player is willingly pulling on his connection wire. I have seen a lot of complaints in twd matches about people blaiming other squads for lagging. Now I know lag is not the fault of the player, but its an unfair advantage. I think bots should have more lag boundries. If at the boundry of lag that there is.. it still gives a player a hefty advantage. That advantage is not fair to the other squad. I think the bot should have some boundry or something programmed in it.. so that once the player with lag starts making kills that he is earning of lag he should be specced. Many people complain about other teams lag. I think Bots should be programmed with lag restrictions from here on.. to TWL. Lag is the one thing that creates the biggest problems and advantages. I would appreciate it if everyone would state there opinion on the topic.

    This was taken directly from the Annoucing the beginning of TWL Season 6 thread.

      I was talking to mythrandir about this the other day. While there are tight lag limits, they are VERY hard to enforce. Apparrently the server does a shitty job of monitering lag? something along those lines.

        it is also unfair to those who have those "spurts" of lag once in a while due to their poor connection. Even my Cable modem has had some really bad days where my ping shoots up to 4 digits easily; from that kind of lag, i get specced in everything i do, and in matches, the 3 lagout limit already seems to be too little in those situations. I'm just trying to make the point that as lag is unfair to the other team, uncontrollable lag will not always work to your advantage, and most of the time, will take away at the time you will have to actually play.

                My lag indicates that i cheat, i assure you that i don't. Funny that. Although on the point of players complaining about an opposing TWD squads lag. How often have you seen a game where the losing team doesn't whine about lag, or cheating, or spawning, or typekilling, or being lame. Lets be reasonable people whine because they lose and they can't take it, we need a more defined method of picking out the lag abusers and the honest unfortunate 56K users such as myself.

                  True.





                  Ünited Stätes Toughens Image With Umlauts WASHINGTON, DC—In a move designed to make the United States seem more "bad-assed and scary in a quasi-heavy-metal manner," Congress passed a bill Monday changing the nation's name to the Ünited Stätes of Ämerica. "Much like Mötley Crüe and Motörhead, the Ünited Stätes is not to be messed with," said Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK). An upcoming redesign of the Ämerican flag will feature the new name in burnished silver wrought in a jagged, gothic font and bolted to a black background. A new national anthem is also in the works, to be written by composer Glenn Danzig and tentatively titled "Howl Of The She-Demon."

                      The only two squads I openly accuse of lagcheating are Shriek and whatever squad Delectable happens to have currently started up. This has nothing to do with my dissatisfaction as a result of losing. I'm simply convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that both squads are up to no good. Neither of the squads' leaders are any sort of trustworthy/respectable. I hope the strict lag limits in TWL put a damper on their efforts to ruin my fun.

                        Even though Myth or Epi (whoever made the post) said that there would be "stricter lag" control - Can you be specific as to how this will happen?

                          Seriously guys, lag is a very lame excuse. Just because we lag doesnt mean it effects only other ppl. The lag is more a bad thing for us then the ppl who complain. You think you know but you have no idea how annoying it is having it then having pplspam you cuz you owned them legitly and they think you lag cuz they suck!

                            How about some details as to what exactly the limits are?

                              I run an average of 500+ Ping and trust me, Lag affects the person that has the bad connection worse then the person that doesn't so dont complain if someone lags, all that means is they are playing with a disadvantage when they kill you.

                              Also if they did restrict lag that would be taking away the rights of the game being free, in order to want to play the game the person would need to buy a better connection. And also its not that i cant afford a better one its i am to far in the middle of no where to get one

                              EDIT: For a reasonable price. If i really wanted it i would have to fork over 100+ a month
