Lag Limits

Is this information publicly available? Midoent is New Zealand I believe and currently signed up for us and want to see if he can in fact play.

+1 I've always said each league should declare lag limits in the rules thread.
I know that in general qan relaxed/removed the limits so we could play while performance is unreliable, but it's worth checking if twl arenas still have strict limits.

If I recall the reason lag limits are not public is because players will more easily take advantage of it, manipulating their lag just below said limit. On that note you could have staff look into midoent in game and maybe they can give you their opinion of he will be able to play or not.

I understand what ur saying nip. I just wanna know because every twl spot is valuable. sad to waste it on someone who will either +1 death over and over or be specced when added right b4 game.

I always prioritized lowering both packet loss and spike limits for league play rather than targeting ping limits as the latter option would exclude players from regions such as Australia. As long as you have a relatively stable connection there should be no glaring issues unless zidane decides to change the limits to something more drastic. In the end it is not hard to figure out what the lag limits are by simply looking at lag reports generated by the bots.

For reference last season had a 1.5% packet loss limit and ~50 spike med limit. As a comparison TWD under normal circumstances was set to 3% packet loss and 100 spike med limits which is ridiculously high. I would be not mind lowering the limits down to around 0.5% ~ 1% packet loss and 35 spike med to ensure mostly a lag free league experience.

In the end stable ping is not annoying to play against thus there's not really any reason to lower it from the current 300ms.

Res limits will be in place though right? I know several dudes who have been using 4K res and I don't think they'll switch unless it's stated somewhere it's mandatory. Double checking that TWL games are to have a res limit of 1920x1280? It's my understanding that's the case. Thanks!!!

Bummed I won't be playing this TWL but wish everyone the best of luck and hope you guys have a great time!!! Cheers!

Resolution Cap
There will be a resolution limit of 1920x1200 in TWLD. There will be no resolution limit in TWLJ or TWLB. Players found using an ineligible resolution will be considered cheating.
