500ms would be better ...

No it wouldn't, a .5 second delay isn't game breaking and it close to the high end of the average ping rate for customers.

It's just funny how some people will only warp when you get on their six.  rest of the time you will see them flying around normally.  then they blame their internet connection.  that's what happened yesterday at the port, i got shot down by somebody that was in front of me then reappeared behind me.

It's funny how people play an online game for so long and yet have no clue how the Internet works.  If you did, you'd know why some experience micro-warps at close range like you describe.

... ok then give us an estimate of the offset on the merge required to avoid a guy whos intent on HOin you, when his latency is over half a second ...

Booting paying customers from an arena, out of hand and based on the fact that they have a crappy connection?

Never going to happen.

Not saying it shouldn't be addressed in some way, but it is not going to be in the form of pissing off subscribers.

Any that don't lag, yet will threaten to cancel their account because of it?

I'll believe that when I see it...

my guess, you have to make your break .5s before you would for a low ping opponent. thats a long way at 300mph ...

you must have experienced a merge which you thought had plenty enough offset, but ended up with your plane full of holes. thats why.


edit: I have a classic warpin death film I'd just love to post, but pretty sure it would get removed because the name is in the film. very dodgy indeed.  :furious

I'd do it. Why? Because facts are facts. Nobody should have a problem with the truth. Besides, the perp has a ready defense.

you could limit them to GVs where the rate of travel isn't as fast and thus 2 sec lag is not the difference between you being on his 6 or him being on your 6.

I'm sorry but it is impossible to play against people who have huge latency. Certain members know this, yet they continue to play. Its beyond frustrating to try and track a plane that is jumping across the sky like a UFO, and dogfighting is next to impossible.

I say this because certain members know this and they continue to play knowing this.. (and refuse to use dial up which many ISPs providers offer for free with the normal service).

I don't need too, and you are just hoping to unleash skuzzy's ban hammer.

With the satellite reference, I think they are whining about joeblack.  The guy lives in the boondocks and unfortunately, it's the best quality connection he can get.

Keep in mind that this game is played by people from around the globe and not all of them may have the same connectivity that you and I have.  I know that some may use it to their advantage but to group all people into one group is a bit rash.  What gives HTC the right to boot me after I pay my monthly fee because they think I lag to much??  I know I would be very upset with HTC if they did that.  Not good to make your customers mad.
