strider wants to know....

pussycats

Warfare and vCTF are the modes where ping matters least.
Ping = Your delay (lag) in ms.  100 ping is 0.1 seconds delay, though on a wireless connection or some other situations on your end it can be a bit worse than what the ping says

Drokun why do you believe it matters least in VCTF and Warfare?

I have read up on it...

simple answer because his **** at them modes and his an penguins a**es are still very very sore from the beastin i gave em! its another example of foot mode players talking **** on modes they know nothing of! to say ping matters least on war/vctf shows what a complete f***ing waste and homo he is!

Yeah I know how ping works... but sometimes my ping is 220 and it lags, sometimes its perfect.

Sometimes I lag at 40 ping...

You can manipulate ping.

dont know what your reading then?? u should go on sum of the pc ut3 websites n make dat post about ping soz but every one would be ltao u would be ridiculed! can u imagine drunken posting that on there that vctf n war ping matters the least f***ing absolutely hysterically!

I don't know where EnVy lives but..


New York host
The direct distance between New York and Dallas is 1373 miles.
The total distance from New York, NY to London, United Kingdom is 3,471 miles.

EnVy would have the advantage by 3471 - 1373 = 2098 miles.


Almost all dedicated servers should be either in London or Switserland, now I don't know the exact locations of the servers either but..

London host
Distance from London to London is not a lot.
Distance from Dallas to London is 4757 miles.

strider would have the advantage by 4757 miles.

Bern, Switserland host
Distance from Dallas, Texas USA to Bern, Switzerland is 5208.8 miles.
Distance from London to Switserland is 465.56 miles.

strider would have the advantage by 5208.8 - 465.56 = 4743.24 miles.


2098 < 4743.24 < 4757
New York host is therefore the best solution by far if you're doing just 1 host.

LOL strider I think YOU need to read up on it a bit more.


Now lag isn't just caused by bad pings. Lag has become a generic tag for many problems in multiplayer games. You can break lag into three main categories:

Bad ping - Latency cause by a slow connection to the game server.

Server Lag - You may notice on server that has a good ping you may stutter or not feel in sync. This can be caused by poor hardware performance by the server and it can't keep up with the player load or other players with high pings are also on the server causing latency problems.

System Lag - This is your computer, which is causing the problem. This can be caused by many factors. The most common is not enough RAM, but not enough video card memory or a CPU that is not up to the job can cause lag. So your receiving data from the game server just fine but it is not being processed on your end for whatever reason fast enough. This can cause hiccups, stuttering and a slew of other problems.

Trust me I know that lag is semi-related to ping but it isnt definitive that ping creates/determines lag. I could manipulated my ping so it appeared it the 400 mark, my connection wouldn't be as good on ut3 but it would still be semi-playable.

When AOL throttle my connection between 5.15 and 10.45 daily my ping doubles so I know ping can give a clue to lag. However when I play between 5.15 and 10.45 on EU hosts my ping is 220 and I lag a lot. When I play on US servers before or after my lag time I have a ping of 220 but it doesn't lag much at all, infact the A-R server felt like an EU server the other day.

I know American players have a big advantage with us playing on their servers but ping isn't 110% fool proof way to gauge lag.

On another note.. I don't know what you did but if you whooped penguin and mine a** at the same time.. how? I wasn't aware there was a 3rd team that goes against red and blue.

umm wut? GOOGLE LIED?!
Obviously it's not perfect, it's the best possible solution though, given that you're not playing on 2 servers.

The encounters are often more close quarters meaning actual reflexes and response time are more important. In a mode like warfare it is possible to do as little killing as needed by reading the map/just doing objective based tasks such as running the orb. In team deathmatch a death can be a lot more significant towards your loss than in warfare as well in a close game. I was actually working on that comparison before you posted that earlier Danjel :P

Its cool I agree, I just wanted to see why you said it. The only factor I disagree with is the hoverboard in those modes, with lag its nearly impossible to use. To be honest, if its lagging just leave the server :D

Originally posted by Striderfx danj u need to look up on it more! you are righ that ping dosent allways determine lagg but it f***ing helps alot mate!

LOL I agree with that. Its pretty much what I just said ;)
