Kick People Will High Ping!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Kick People Will High Ping!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am a firm believer in high pingers causing problems.

Whenever a high pinger (200-300+) enters a server, I can tell right away. Sure enough, I check the score board and there they are. Score is 0 0 0..and a huuuuge ass ping.

As soon as they leave, problems gone.

Do you also believe that if you step on a crack, you'll break your mother's back?
Or tha breaking a mirror is seven years bad luck?
Do you franticly try to avoid black cats crossing your path?

This is what it boils down to. Superstision.
We've already laid out the facts for you. Repeatedly. Yet folks prefer to ignore facts and hold onto their beliefs without any evidance.

I actually made a study on computer superstisions... it's too bad this thread wasn't around when I turned in my paper. I would have used it as resource matiral.

I actually used to work for a game server hosting company, I got trouble tickets like this all the time. Alot of it was people turning up the tickrate at which the server was sending information and thinking it was better, 'if sending data 40 times a second is good, than 140 times a second must be better' derrrrrr.

That, and I knew of other server hosting companies that were stacking more servers on a box than what should have been. It's one thing if the servers are all sitting empty and not changing maps, but if you have those same servers running fully loaded all at the same time, all of a sudden the server is doing over time and it really feels a beating during map changes and from the increased net traffic, then you start running into serious bouts of lag. And most servers should really be running the bandwidth choke, there really is no need to have it set to unlimited, having it at the first available highest setting is more than sufficient for anyone and the net connection.

High pingers don't send any more information to the server than anyone else, if anything, they are probably sending less as they are probably experiencing packet loss due to being a long farkin ways away from the server or their connection is just that fuxxored. A person may have a harder time hitting them than normal, but that person that is pingin really high, he is having a harder time hitting everyone than you lol.

Re: Kick People Will High Ping!!!!!!!!!!!!

it aint the 2-3 200 pingers doing it, I've been in the zboard server plenty of times to know once it goes over 30 or so people it lags like a mother. No offense to zboard or their host, but all of my clanmates flat out avoid 2-3 particular servers...

zboard - chicago reallly bad
divo.net - lagfests

Put on the 64 map filter and take a look yourself. You'll see plenty of full 64 man games going on, and then I can guarantee that the above 2 names will have servers with listings like 31/64 etc... Ever wonder why they aren't full? :) People bail due to the horrible gameplay. Find a quality server and stick with it, there are plenty out there that are fairly lag-free..

I always play on Zboard Chicago Strike at Karkand server with 64 people and that thing is always full with no lag.
