Increase min. ping

This one goes out to Man-At-Arms and MMmmGood on the note of increasing the allowable ping to 400 or there abouts.

I just noticed again how it keeps coming up with "This server is for low pings only" which is excessively annoying.

Thank you,

Yea that would be great cause i have a few friends who are on ISDN but cant play because theyre ping is too high to connect...

Thank You Blitz for starting this thread...

its pretty bad at times doubled ping. theres already guy pinging in the 200's - 300's you get 10 of them and its gonna happen

I think the min. ping is fine where it is at.

If we up the ping admit level's the server's behavior will be pretty bad. You will have opponents jumping around and they will not be consistent in their movements, thus more difficult to hit.

I feel that the ping admit level should remain the same if not dropped down lower than it already is.

Blitz...the admins kick you if you ping over 200. So even if you make it into the server, theres a good chance you will be kicked anyways.

Its funny...they claim that people who lag, lag up the server, so they kick. If one or two laggy people can lag up a 64 player server thats usually only half full (and never actually has 64 players anymore), then ECGN must have some pretty weak servers.

Negative. It's because most 200 ping players frequently disapper or 'jump around' because of their lag.

Not to mention the netcode of RTCW isn't really good at dealing with higher pingers.

We rarely kick for 200 ping, nofx, even if that's what the entry limit is. I do kick people when the server is heavily populated who are pinging 250-500 over a series of checks. Everyone gets a spike now and then, not a big deal. I try to monitor high pingers over a game or so (20 min or more, usually) to get a feel for where their ping is.

I have kicked people with pings at 200 or lower (a few who were even pinging at 50 or less) when there is clear evidance that their avatar is 'skipping/shuddering/blinking out' etc repeatedly. I don't know exactly what this is due to but it makes for unfair game-play for everyone else.

Sorry guys on dial-up and in far-off extoic lands. Personally I like the ping limit where it is.

It's hard as hell to kill people who are "teleporting" small distances! I cna't do it half the time!

ANd sometimes I'll hit a lag spike anddie :\ shitty adelphia broadband. Wish I lived in town, I would get verizon 3MB DSL *cries*

Why play dumb? You kick them because you think they are doing some sort of cheat that allows them to slingshot around at will.

I don't know why people tell you anything like this because you always think a good majority of people are doing it then. I bet that 99% of the players on this server know nothing about this type of stuff. The people who do know about it, do not play here or just come on for a round or two and probably do not even use it.

Skippy players? lets permban x-treme!! jk

He's not playing dumb, he's playing smart. Coming out and blatantly saying that people are cheating will bring more publicity to it than necessary. Then all of a sudden you have a bunch of noobs typing in "p1|\|g h4x0rs" into google trying to find out how they can do it too (we know x-treme knows, how else can he cap so much w/o shooting his gun?).

This happened w/ spec cheating and now everyone is doing it. I know because I am a victim of its abuse. I kept getting killed over and over again by the same person in different hiding spots on the map and their clan mate was in spec. PLZ disable roving cam, the problem has grown out of control.

Theres 2 types of lag anyway;

Weak ISP & computer internal lag.

If someone has a dodgy computer they will lag anyway; which isnt me, 2.8ghz isn't that kind of material.

And when my internet connection is faster than alot of peoples its unfair that I can't get in due to 30 - 40ms ping. 10MBPS Cable = )

So keek, why don't we increase it to about 350, I know for a fact I don't lag when I play (skip around, low fps etc), plus I used to play here all the time and it's fucked if I don't play for 7 months then you won't let me play anymore.
