A few notes on TWL games

[RabbitRapist]

they arent really blind lineups, u can select the name of each person in the F2 menu and press CTRL, thus seeing in what ship they are in.

nope, players arent added till the start of the game, so you cant do that.

[Zyclon]

There is a lag limit right? And if so what is it?

i would like to know that too

[im drukn]

no way

60 seconds? Are you kidding me with that? That's way waaaay too long. It should be 15 seconds max like in twbd. I like how people who know nothing about dueling create these rules... think about it for a second: It's 2 vs 2...game is close 48-47 you're up by 1, and your teammate lags out... game over, you lose. When it reaches the point where a lagout can cost you the whole match... there's somethin definitely wrong. A full minute before you can re-enter is totally ridiculous, especially for an LD like Ragnarok said.

Why are all these newbies agreeing with him? It should be no more than 15-20 secs max, bottomline.

Plus... with the new lag limits for twl, it makes it even more stupid. You're basically destroying any chance for 56k'ers to compete in your league, nice job. :up:

It's confidential... :/

It is a good idea for TWLD/TWLJ so people can't spec to avoid a bomb or something. However, I concur that 60 seconds is way too long for a TWLB, where there is no real purpose in speccing. It should be 10-15 seconds max for TWLB.

[Legionair]

I agree with Fit.
16 people in the fr at the same time will jack everyones ping up no matter what connection you are on. A 56ker will definately lag out atleast once during an fr battle, especially with these new lag limits. Change the TWLB spec time to around 30 seconds. This is much more reasonable to me.

well if he is laggot he deserves that 60 sec. 60 sec + 1 extra death would be even better

[HellzNo!]

you say that now, wait till you lag out in a match fucker.

[im drukn]

Exactly... wait till you lag out and cost your team a round. I don't lag on purpose, I'm a ghetto-ass college student living on my own that can't afford to pay $40 a month for high-speed internet, it's not my fault I sometimes lag.

Btw, anyone who has serious lag won't be able to play anyways with the new limits. What I'm talking about is the random spikes and shit that 56k peeps get like myself that make you lagout... it's not like continuous lag, it's just a 2 second spike here and there that puts u in spec, and they shouldn't have to be penalized 60 secs for that which could kill your team.
It's bad enough in an LD but in basing, that's truly f'ed up. Make it 15 secs for all 3 leagues.

i have never lagged out! ok sometimes if i have many movies downloading.

[Zyclon]

downloading makes u lag and you should close your d/l progs while playing

[Sarien]

Lag limits should and need to stay confidential. If people get ahold of specific numbers, some people wil do what they always do.. try to fudge their lag as close to the limits without actually going over. A very good idea to keep this information confidential. It doesn't do anyone a bit of good knowing it. If you want to try to mess with your ping to make it better, you can try to make it as good as possible, without knowing limits.

As for 60 second lagouts, it hurts, but it's there for a reason. My connection can be almost totally fucked from a single hop, and no, I'm not in any league, nor did I even try to be. If it's unfair to "keep 56kers from playing in leagues" which I don't think it will.. it's even more unfair to expect everyone that has a decent connection to put up with a crappy game thanks to a bad conneciton. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, as Spock said. When my connection isn't being totally screwed, my 56k has about 150 ping. Well within reasonable playing limits.

[K2Grey]

Well the lag limits didn't keep Domi out so...

[Fit of Rage]

Or Sika for that matter.
