players with crap connections

[Anodizer]

That's all fine..  I suppose if one was really close to a central office and had quiet lines, dial-up may be suitable.  However, there are many more limiting factors as far as dial-up is concerned and there are few and far between who can successfully utilize it.  

[Anodizer]

Rubbish. AH uses very little bandwidth, even dialup is ok.

I never said a THING about bandwidth.  Bandwidth means nothing when it comes to latency..  It is feasible to have a connection with low bandwidth yet have low latency as well. 
Please, don't put words into my mouth.  And no, in most cases, dial-up is insufficient.  Don't kid yourself. 

[Anodizer]

Dial-Up is fine. I have a squaddy that flies on dial-up and I've never seen him warp.
In fact, Larry, you play on dial-up, don't you? Or used to until recently?

**Sigh**

I knew the "dial-up" proponents were going to come to their own aid.  
You guys may believe that your 56k or less connection is ample.
But in reality, unless you are in a near perfect situation as far as dial-up is concerned, it
is not sufficient in anyway.  To say anything else is absurd. 

Try using a typical dial-up connection on Titanic Tuesday in the middle of the map..  See what happens...
See how many times someone complains because you are warping..

I see you got what I was saying, without saying it.           You and Larry are the ones who are making the most sense in this thread.

Most online games boot people from the server for crappy connections and HTC should seriously think about doing the same.

Majority of online games won't even accept dial-up anymore.  Some won't even accept ISDN..

BOOT ALL WARPERS!! Then see how long aces high is around.

Yes, or watch subscription rates double (or more).

I use Satellite and have ping of 600-1100ms, and almost never get complaints of warping.  So it's a little bit of an exaggeration saying that any connection that is normally bad should equal a boot from the game.  A lot of times when someone sees me warp terribly it ends up being them, as I try not to play if my ping averages over 1300.  Anything under 1200 and people will mention maybe small warps, but nothing to the extent of being un-killable.
If I am warping that bad, I attempt to fix it, like today I can't play due to the ping going from 2300-3500ms.

[Masherbrum]

I've never gone above 60ms for a ping.   I'm closer to 40.    This is also the same for Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising.   

[CHAPPY]

Maybe HTC should think of being evryones ISP, so we all lag the same.

It's just amazing when I see Vets like shawk crying about warping as if the warper were doing it on purpose.When we have all read these threads a million times until Skuzzy has to come in and explain once again about warping.

For the most part, I think just about everyone knows why warping happens, regardless of how many times they accuse the other guy of messin' around with his cable.
Netaces.org has a great write up on latency..

I'm wondering, should players with crap connects be able to just constantly warp around the arena?
I mean I can understand that sometimes the intardnet has some issues, but I can name a few guys
that warp EVERY SINGLE TIME I SEE EM! Shouldn't there be a limit to packet loss before you get the boot?
Is it fair to allow these guys to warp from 1K in front of you to 1K behind you, then dissapear into the ground,
only to re-appear 5K away? Seriously, is this Aces High or Star Trek?
I dropped a bomb on a guy this morning, direct hit...nothing, so I turn around for another pass about 10 secs later BOOM he explodes. Of course he claims he's on Satellite and can do nothing about it.
Several others who I can name, do close to the same thing and everyone knows it.
X3X is the worst I've seen yet, but JoeBlack and NoFether hold close 2nds.
It's not just sometimes, It's EVERYTIME!
I'm sure plenty of you have run across these guys and seen the same thing.

don't forget, though.........when they're warping to you, the whole area is warping to them.
sometimes, simply getting them to re-log does the trick. i had a guy warping on me last night. only when i got within 1k of him. i thought it might've been me, so i checked my net status(after i kilt him), and found mine to be good. others were seen on open channel also asking him to re-log.

Guido77 is by far the warpyest player Iv ever seen in AH. Not once have I seen him when he isn't warping. From 6k to 200ft he warps just as bad. I seen him many times warp from someones gunsight to their six and shot them. People with these connections should be booted no matter the excuse.

i fly with guido. it pisses him off too. he doesn't try to do it. he tries everythign he can, to NOT warp.
