Lag Limit Should Be 500 ms

[Hirluin]

Hi,

Im a 56k modem user and a member of rejected basers, and its come to my attention that the current limit of 400 ms I think it is since thats what it is in base is a joke.
Most 56k users have a max ping of about 500 and a minimum ping of 330. 56 k players will only lag if using any windows below xp or maybe 2000 pro. I myself experiece a smooth game while playing and have only ever spiked when downloading which no ones crazy enough to do in the finals. With this new bot though that PL says is a testing thingy if you reach anything over 400 ms boom your gone. A players ping will never stay at a certain ms unless they have a stable connection and pay a heap load of $$. So 56 k users will tend to go over the 400 ms by 10 ms or even 1 ms and have to re-connect to the server and type !lagout

Anyway I strongly belive that there are 2 reasons to solve this problem. Either up the lag limit to 500 ms and allow 56k users to atleast experience the finals and enjoy there hard earned time there. Or if you don't like someones lag because you think its giving them an unfair advantage maybe their could be a moderator watching the game and if they think that person is lagging too much and getting an advantage they should be speced.

Well thats my argument being put forward, beats me if this is the right place to post it lol.

Cheers,
Hirl

You must be joking, I was on a generic, horrible 56k that connected at 26k and I had averages of 200-250...unless your from Europe I guess these days.

EDIT_- Or NZ ...whatever..at least your not an Aussie =-p

j/k Aussies...j/k...really, I hate those Kiwis....j/k Kiwi...heh

[Randedl]

500 ms? heh, no way

in an ideal world 250/300 would be the max, anybody over 400 ms ping is one of those guys that just ruins the game

[splatz]

up that to 500 and forget the whole rule it'self. when the server was in europe and i'm in the us and i had 56k on AOL. i had around 250 average uness i was downloading. so no, if you're telling the truth, go get braodband heh.

[Hirluin]

Well I don't lag during a game my ms is just high cause im on 56 k and i dont see any ppl complaining i ruin the game.

[Cig Smoke]

bc 500 Ms isnt ALL that jumpy, all the time. Sure u have a few hops, but Ploss is more of a pain then ping. And when server was in Europe, and i was on 56k i use to get 550 ms. And now when its in America, i get like 300 w/ my 56k.

[SnallTrippin]

Ploss and the evil spike.

[Sleepy Weasel]

300 is too much for leagues. It ruins the game. 500 is way too much.

[Epinephrine]

When I had no internet and was using AOL and NetZero on my 33.6 modem I only had around 200 ping... If you're getting 500, get a real connection, or try a new ISP for dialup.

Then I guess I ruin the games for other people.

With one ISP: slow ploss over 10% c2s around 5% , s2c around 3%, ping weekdays 290 and week-ends about 350-450.

The other ISP: same slow ploss, c2s and s2c about 0.1-0.5%. Sounds good but the ping for this one is about 700 on weekdays and over 1000 during the week-ends.

its not uor hard earned time to play this, its a fucking free game, u dont need to do shit for it, use the money u would use to buy a CD to install a new connection.

the limit should be 250 ms

[Da1andonly]

500 ms? SMD.

and you won't get to the finals! (Just had to say it )

Hirluin- you know for a fact that you are one of the laggiest people in the game. I don't think there has been a single game you've played where someone hasn't noticed and complained about your lag. The game might look smooth to you, but you are usually jerking and jumping all over the place for everyone else.

500ms is a half of a second of lag time. You would be eating 1/2 of the bullets on everyone elses screen. If you can't manage to stay under the generous 400ms limit, then you need to look into getting a new ISP.

[Cig Smoke]

Stab, the way he jumps on ur screen, is the same way u jump on his screen. I dont know if u were on a real laggy connection but thats how it is.

I'd also like to point out that even now, like i said the server is in america like very close to me, i get like 10-20 ms w/ my cable @ My dad's house, but at my moms about 10 minutes away on dialup, the ONLY dialup u can get in this area i get about 300-400, and that is living close to server. There is no other choices to dialup in the area. I dont use that dialup nemore, but its a mere example.

And download, the CD mite cost 20-40$ that is only 1 month worth of payment for cable connection. Ur forgeting, u can get the modem and such for that price, but u got a monthly bil u have topay. Im not saying i want the lag limits rose, bc i really dont care, but i dont find it fair to everyone who just cant get a better connection, due to financial or area problems.

If someone is lagging and eating enough to disrupt the game for everyone else, then they don't deserve to play. Just because someone lives in a 3rd world country and plays with a 33.6k modem doesn't mean that they should be allowed to lag through everyone and ruin the game just because they're less fortunate than other people.
