Idea for new lag limits

[saetep]

Overall squad lag limit in twd and twl games. Set it at 500 or so for 4s and 600 for 5s. That way squads like diboa cant play elven, halls, baserman, etc in the same line and just tank shit all game. This would allow for 1-2 of them to play per round, but would force them to play some nonlaggots in the same line.

Good idea? Bad idea? Post some comments, even if it's just ilyaz making an off topic joke.

this idea is against euro/asian squad combos. :P

[kthx]

I like this idea, now that you fagged up the resolutions and ruined the zone you might as well make the maximum lag allowed in a league match 100ms, and .5 .5 s2c/c2s. Because I am pretty sure everyone who isn't poor and/or a socialist has a connection that gets us this kind of lag every day. Might as well fuck up the rest of the zone also in the interest of fairness.

I mean afterall I have a high speed connection and it isn't fair that people lag is the same fucking argument as I have a super nice monitor and it isn't fair that I can't see the entire fucking twdd arena.

unfortunately you don't seem to know how latency works at all. the lowest latency possible is governed by the laws of physics. specifically, by the speed of light. you can not get lower than 120ms from Helsinki to Washington, and that's a fact we have to live with. even if we were using our fast 1GB/1GB connections we would not be able to get below 120ms. blame the internet, or bring the server back to Finland.

if i could change the lag limits, i would lower the packet loss limit(s) to 1.5, weapon packet loss limit to 1.0 and spike medium limit to 15 or 20. that would be more than enough to prevent laggy people from playing while allowing Australians and Asians to play the game.

as for the resolution limit change (only in TWBD at the moment) i can only see it as a good thing. those fools that whine about it should just go hang themselves, it gives no advantage in javelins or basing and only a very slight advantage in warbird (unless you are using 800x600).

wee.

tired idea -- how about limit the lag limits by continent?

100 ms lag limit in america

200 ms lag limit in europe/south america

300 ms lag limit in australia/asia

lol. it can be done. :P

[kthx]

Fucking retarded to give in to resolutionist demands and not have stricter lag limits on those fucking brazillians and eurotrash.

[Dutch_]

Fk those euros. I say we cut em off from the server. USA!

[Xog]

Dutch_ are you retired? Honestly that's so stupid. You're dutch and you want all the euros cut off from the server?

200ms isn't fair for europe as well ...


it's easy to go +200 when you have an ave of 160. Many ppl in the US have 10-20ms so they don't have to worry.

you live in belgium, you should easily average 110ms or less. stop stealing that wireless from your neighbor and start paying for your own connection. don't run other programs in the background and don't share your internet and bam! your high won't get above 200ms. though lately the terrible servers of washington have been lagging -- we should just move the server to europe (as i said earlier) or at least move it to new york closer to europe to give us -20ms to -30ms lag with way less packet loss issues. but noooo.

i have seen hundreds of american/canadian have above 100ms latency as well. and i don't care if they lag as much as euros as it hardly gives them an advantage. tbh, i don't give a damn if my opponent has 10ms or 300ms as i can kill them fairly (minus some bullet delay with the visual lag) as long as they don't have high (above 1%) weapon packet loss or a high spike (above 10) medium count.

oddly enough only terrible players (or average one league player) whine about lag constantly, i hardly ever see the good players of the zone whining about it.

baw. tired, should finally fix my sleeping pattern.

[kthx]

same with resolution.

[saetep]

thx for calling me terrible or average 1 leaguer noop turpin. and it wasnt directed against asians/euros. mainly brazilians.

Whatever I got the best connection you can get and even when I play on my laptop I hook up a cable. And why wouldn't I run any other programs simultaneously with tw, makes it so boring.

[Turban]

because if there was a limit of 200ms, you couldn't run other shit in the background or you'd lagout. :fear:

i, myself, am one of those heavily multitasking people and i love to do multiple things while twding. :wub:

However, can you name 1 good player that isn't squadded with one of those players that's complained about a lot cause of his lag?

And yes I complain about lag a lot, but it is nearly always about the same people, and I think I can call myself atleast an average 2 league player...
