Lowering Lag Limit

[Cig Smoke]

I didnt read much of this, but thats why u dont want a 4 spider rule, squads w/o great javs/wb will put there laggiest guys in them ships. Its just common sence to do it.

Also ppl complain more about lag in jav/wb bc those ships are 1 hit 1 kill, if htey lag by a few guys eating a few bullets and kill the terr it is very frustrating. A laggy spider mite eat a few more bullets then normal but the chances of him killing the terr is alot slimmer. I did hear ppl complain about terr's lag also. I remember ppl complaining about 2d lagging in terr last season.

how come everyone's whining about my 70-120 ms lag...
i rocket when i get replled so enemy sharks cant rep it as well...
but i pay attention to the enemy sharks and blow up cram when their both dead

lag sucks, make the limit like 250 STRICT, with 2% ploss STRICT.

go fuck yourself laggers.

well you do eat a lot and i think everyone has noticed it

and i agree with adman

[PaulOakenfold]

I agree as well Server, that would deffinetly be interesting watching them preform that to themselves.

if i had a lag advantage over other people, i'd definately use it too. But since i don't lag, i feel everyone should be at my level or not be able to play.

i remember one time a while back where i had huge lag during TW's notorious gay days (when lag was bad) and i javed myself in base matches because i knew i oculd own the other team, people whined about it. And ya, well there it is. No more to say.

Lag is a part of internet gaming, but usually it is the people who lag who get fucked over for it. (like C-S and other fps, and diablo style games.) But in our little "2d spaceship game" (go fuck yourself who ever started using this title because people actually take some games seriously) lag has advantages. And if you say no it doesn't, BULLSHIT. The only drawback is you lagout once and a while LOL that's funny. The advantages of lagging in TW (i don't play other zones so i don't care about them) far outweigh the drawbacks of lag.

Again Go fuck yourself laggers.

And i think it is alright for people to whine about lag.

i quess i have to start defending the laggers

1. Laggers usually dont like the lagging part in the game, getting specced is a pain in the ass.

2. Making lag limits more strict is just silly, more and more people would notice that sometimes, lag is not just up to you and more about isp/routers.

3. More people getting pissed at this -> riots -> war -> destruction.. ok that went a bit over but anyways

4. Thanks, leave a little money for the "Save the LAGers" fund.

[Adman]

lol, that was funny.

your effect on the game is not a good one, please move closer to the server.

1. many of them wont even admit that they lag. why? dunno.. maybe because they wanna feel being good

2. lag limits should be lower ty.

3. maybe laggers should build their own league.. lagleague!

[Nethila]

keep in mind that this is basing we are talking about.

if you put people like Hirluin in a dd or jd, hell, he might go 30-10. Big difference? hell ya. And people from dd/jd squads would have being yelling with lowering lag limit for LONG LONG time.

Different lag limits for different ships maybe?

1. Warbird: very annoying when laggy
2. Jav: should also have a low lag limit cus everyone whines about lagjavs
3. Spider: lag isn't a very useful tool because you might be able to eat alot but also your bullets will be ignored. Higher lag limit
5. Terr: Normal lag limit.
8. Shark: high lag limit. High lag makes repping hard and even though you might tank some it's not a useful tool

[Cig Smoke]

Jeansi, if this is possable its a very, and i repeat VERY good idea.

I have played with lag for over 2 1/2 years in this game. Before the server move, my ping was 450+, now it can reach 300 if i'm lucky, but mostly around 350ms. I had adsl for a few days, and I played as well as I did with 56K. I got rid of adsl, which in the end screwed my computer up. Now I play shark, and when u have high lag U have to adjust to all the others players, since they have a lower lag. (I am sometimes surprised I don't get mentioned in these threads).

(This is from how i play)
Advantages of higher lag:
-Occasional spike into base while attacking cram
-Obvious one; not dying according to other ships
-Able to have more mines on other players screens?

Disadvantages of higher lag:
-Defending Terrier and Team-mates. Now, on my screen I have to rep earlier, otherwise my team dies and not I.
-I often die in one spider shot.
-Repping mines and bullets. I have to be careful doing this because I could kill my team-mates.
-Doing fancy shots etc. Have to watch the timing.

Thats all I could think of at the moment, but I reckon that is pretty balanced. And I'm not going to get a new conenction for leagues. If I have under 400ms, I'm playing and if anyone whines about my lag, they can go fuck themselves.

Btw: Jens idea is good.

[Stabwound]

You are one of those guys who's mines appear an inch away from their ship.

[Adman]

I have no sympathy for laggers. Fuck them all.
