How about some sort of filter that determines your maximum lag then
dumps you if your connect is not up to snuff? I know it would be hard on
the folks with cronically bad connects but would definitely improve the
arena for the rest of us.

nope. i dont play MA but i used to, long ago. i never got my free trial:(
back on track. now i know this isnt gonna happen because if 1 cant play because of lag, then i say we all cant play. everyone should have an equal shareaegikh i dont know what im talking about ANYWAY i know its not gonna happen

So because you have a cruddy connect, everyone should suffer?

I really don´t see "everyone suffer". I currently log quite a big amount of flighttime (=WAY too much) in MA, and the people constantly warping around a really a very small minority. Sometimes perhaps a small annoyance, but not more. And they have far less fun than everybody else, ´cause for you it´s only one warper, for him everyone is warping. You can shoot other targets, he can only spray is lead into the air and hope someone will fly through it.
And I would be interested in what amount of lag would be "maximum" for you. And of course you know that it´s not plain lag that causes warping...

It wouldn't be ME setting the maximum. It would be HTC..I think they
would be able to set a fair standard for everyone.

Here is an example of why I am requesting this.

Fair?

Only problem I have with this is when I 1st log on and enter combat, I always know I'm going to miss my 1st shot. For some reason, the 1st time I hit my trigger I freeze for a second and am then kinda laggy for the next 3-5 seconds. After that, it's all fine and stable for the rest of the night. Now if you get disconnected for any lag, then I couldn't fly do to the small problem at the beginning of my flight time. Now if they could implememnt a way to monitor someone who has it happen "often" than I'm all for it. But if you get a laggy connection for a bit and get booted for it I think 1/2 the MA would be unable to play anymore.

Yes, I have a cronically bad connection on one computer, which restricts me to GVs. And though i may warp a bit, you are ALL warping around me, and since im a GV, even with a little warping, you still have NO trouble blowing the crap out of me. And i have never heard anyone complain about my warping.

Glad I am not the only one (misery loves company).

I started squeezing off a couple rounds as soon as I spawned to get the hitch out of the way. Then kill-shot myself once doing it -- so now I at least wait until wheels up.
