Getting ping fucked in PS2?

Physics will be handled by the client, and some other details will be handled by the server. I was told the target latency is around 100-150 ms maximum. How this would be achieved or enforced is unknown. However, there will be multiple servers, so players can choose the server with the shortest latency."

...and I'm out. Personally i would much rather be killed around a corner 1000 times than not be able to hit my target because i have to lead them by 200ms. but anyway.

I wouldn't trust a quote from The9 back from when PSnext was just a graphical update for PS.

Its 150ms across the pacific, minimum. its an additional 50 across the US, then about another 100 to England. and that's how you get routed when connecting to Europe, Markov always had the lowest ping for me from 180-220...if wearner was lower, i would have played there.

and before anybody says China or Singapore, shut up, you're an idiot.

anyway ill remain hopeful that info is wrong, because even playing something with server side hit detection like unreal with 50-100 ping is annoying.

The9 is the only people who use the phrase "the developer" when referring to SOE.

Edit: Oh. Didn't see the "s". Might not be them then. You can panic again.

Do you cyber your mossie?

It would be nice to have ping be a non-issue. Ill want to galavant around on some american servers for fun. (usualy got 200ish back then which was noticeably laggy for my fish stick (Lasher))

Lowerping is a terrible service and only exists because of backward coded MMO's that have nagales agroythm still enabled that exponentially increases ping.

This was a problem identified YEARS ago by internode on wow servers, they still have not fixed it. On a game with decent netcode its not needed.

its 150ms across the pacific, a proxy cannot change that. 180ms is the best anybody will ever see to a Planetside 2 west server from Australia.

Yeah that's true. :S Hope SOE can come up with a plan, I don't see why they can't have multiple servers outside the U.S. China would be nice. I'm from the middle east and I remember getting 1600-2000 ping on the first PS. I seemed like everyone else was speed hacking. :P

umm ping tiems have improved over the years to china, i remember when they always used to be 400, but its a decent ping but still terrible network., and we would be playing with...unsavory people.

this is a 100mbs raw connection BTW:



i much prefere the US result.

Interesting...Yeah U.S. is the best choice so far. One can only hope! Like you have mentioned, ping plays an important roll in this game, it's no fun without the nice smooth transitions, especially for a FPS type game. Best of luck friend!

It does nto have to play a large part with friendly code...only evil code.
