i used to play on a 28.8 and had around 330-370 pings with like .3 or .4 ploss

rushing was amazing. you get onscreen and rush at an angle towards where they are going, but then stop after going like an inch, but it would look liek you rushed up right by them then jumped back alot. theyd shoot at your ghost then youd be left to kill. super lag rushing was hilarious. javs were the same way.

but there were drawbacks too. to you it seemd like everyone lagged like this. fortunately, you were used to it and they werent. you could play with it better than they could deal with it if you did it long enough.

now my ping is usually between 30-60 (depends on time of day) and the lag isnt as much of a factor. i prefer this because it is less frustrating in general. but i think i could get better scores if i still lagged alot.

Ok seriously, tell me..
Would ANYBODY be SO dumb to cheat and appareantly eat a lot in a LD match?? When 100 ppl are in the arena and 20 mods are there to spec you? Seriously, even Izor wouldn't be so dumb!

Again I'm saying I'm having some computer problems. Weird things are happening, tried to format twice already but it didn't help yet.
I am trying to fix it because this isn't normal for me. I'm getting some help and checking all kinds of stuff and probably going to do another format.
Hope it helps, but stop making stupid assumptions!

Aside from pascone/barton on ur squad, i only saw 1 ER that watched it by lookin at the list of names in arena. There definitely weren't enough staff, otherwise ud be outa here

Come on guys, wtf, he was experiencing a bit of lag. At the most have a moderator watch him in the next few rounds and see if it is serious enough, if it is put him out of this TWL.

Cheater my arse, it's just another EMO Quicksander getting all upset, go cut your wrists fag.

Based on this I'm going to assume that you didn't actually see what happened, therefore I suggest you just shut up before you make yourself look even dumber. Over 70 people, including myself, witnessed the eats. I counted four of them just in Zazu's last two deaths. This was not an "EMO Quicksander" hallucinating. Stick to what you know (mixing Gatorade).

I enjoyed it when I played on 56k for the first 2 or 3 yrs on subspace. It helped me out a lot, but it also was very frustrating. I lagged out more often, I couldn't play in TWLB games because of all the jumping, etc. So that was the sucky part.

I think there are good and bad reasons for laggy players.

[Confluence]

Agreed 100%, I've had dialup, satellite dsl, dsl and now cable. I play much worse anytime I go over approximately 150ms.

Also agreed. Lag sucks for the player and his opponent. I've always played better on a more stable, lower ping connection.

[Izor]

I've played in every different type of lag pretty much and its just an adjustment on playstyle (currently im realizing on a connection that goes from 90-1000 ms in spikes cant rush effectively). nice off topic convo though. I guess it comes from players not having watched the accused with a stable connection/ping fly through bullets assuming he had some lag problem to eat bullets which is untrue. Staff that was present and visual observation saw a connection on the upper end for euros. When someone's moving at a steady state with that ping they simply dont eat much when hit whether it be boosting or not.

[Displaced]

when i lived in the uae i was laggy as fuck, 350-300ms, supposedly i ate a LOT, now, i had a lot of duds too, but quickly learned to aim infront of ppl i needed to kill by a few cm, hey presto, ppl started dying more often.

not hard to play with lots of lag, and you tank more.

[SnallTrippin]

I hate my modem/lag more then all the other evils of the world. When I had 30ms average it was so fucking bloody nice. Lag DOES help you, lag DOES fuck you. Nice con always better unless you're Holybird. That fucker. sigh, back to work.

Why is this even being discussed, brazilians have the obvious advantage when it comes to lag. You guys say that it's better to rush with no lag? well... when you try to rush someone like elven or lomoro, they will either eat your shot or easily dodge it because their movement is always so choppy and unpredictable. It's also impossible to aim at them even at mid-range distance because when they thrust they can make really abrupt stops which makes it impossible for you to aim at them. Also, the fact that their bullets come out so far away from their ship, and the fact that they can shoot at a direction at which they didn't even turn to yet makes it 10x harder to play them. Oh, and did you take in frustration factor of playing brazilians? You guys say it's easy to figure them out, but when you're in an ld game, you're not concentrating on that 1 player; there's 4 more players in the game that you have to worry about, and when it comes to the point, that 1 annoying laggot will piss you off so much with his lag yo that you won't be able to play at your best anymore, simply because it pisses people off. Furthermore, and no offense to any of you, but brazilians have that gay vibe to em that further pisses you off.

This comes down to playing a fair game, with such lag advantages as listed above there is no way you will be able to play a relaxed game and give your 100%. I made a thread about this before but I guess it was lost. Fact is... they know they lag and have the advantage

Something has to be done...

He would stay away from lomoro since he has an unfair advantage, but he will try to guess whether or not Zazu will tank and kill him. I don’t see why he can’t use the same logic to both. They both have an unfair advantage so why not just stay away from both of them. However, it’s a bit contradicting to say “i'd rather play against a player like lomoro” and then say that you will stay away from him.

Again, he explained it perfectly clear if you take the time to read it all. With Lomoro he doesn't have to guess, he just knows not to get in close. With Zazu it's an ever-changing experience and God only knows when he's gonna decide to tankrush and then lagshoot, or when his CE will be turned off. At least with Lomoro theres always gonna be a constant.

and his point is that it is worse that you have to completely stay away from him at all times, as in, how can he ever be killed type of attitude.
