the problem with a ping limit is that is aims purely at pvp. - but there are people on the server who couldn t care less for pvp, actually almost never do - and only if forced into it... who have a bad connection. - mind, roleplaying works perfect with a bad ping still.

a limit to access the server would leave those people out.

@chopper:

yes.. i think i was guildty of type 2 once, when i had a download running... i experienced the other guy to stand still from time to time on my screen and i was able to hit him. - i was told that after the fight, which surprised me, cause on my screen... no yellow / red signal popped up ( 1gb direct link to the university ) - so my ping was still ..... 5

but i think it was still me - so i m not sure if limiting the ping does anything.

Usually if the person you're fighting is lagging too much, you can pm them and ask em to drop out of the fight. Now if they're a good sport, they will, if they don't just grit your teeth, and do your best to blow his lagging backside up >.>

@Jinx, like you said, some people don't care about pvp, on the flipside, there are people who do care about the pvp, and laggers really screw things up.

That's the point Jinx. If you'r downloading, your download is stuck, and your targets move only from time to time.
If your upload is stuck, you will just lag around but won't be able to hit either.
At least I think that's the difference.

So, it should be kinda forbidden to play with torrents on or similar.

Yes but how would anyone be able to enforce that?

self control - when i play, i try to turn the download manager off ( it usually runs all the time, not cause i m actually downloading, - but it updates messages ALL the time to my sidebar in windows ( weather, news, and a lot of stuff i don t care about )

one would think a glassfibre connection can handle both, freelancer and these downloads, but it seems there are times when data gets kinda stuck - no matter what your connection is like.

I turn off all unnecessary programs just as a courtesy to myself first, and to others.
That includes skype sometimes.
Usually when I play FL I only have FL open and the antivirus. (I'm not turning that off to play FL.)
Everything else uses ram or bandwidth so theres no point having it on.

Im Eddy Looper, and I have a few things to say...

First, I didnt lag before or after that fight, nor did I feel any lag at all. Second, you were hitting me enough, by the end of the fight I had something like 24bots, so you could kill me, obviously. Third, while you complain about the BC, you had no problems with fighting a fighter and bomber with 2 gunboats...

Now, seriously, my ping was around 130 that entire time, I had no programs running, I dont know what was causing it.

You think thats bad? While running escort, myself (bomber) and my compatriot (RT) were attacked by an IMG GB, an RT, and an Eagle. Shortly after we annihilated them, a Corsair GB arrived as well.

Silly Gaians.

Yeah... That guy was impossible to hit. I was mildly depressed that the Navy bugged out from a battle with a terrorist around a station which produces their most expensive assets. Oh well.

Anyways! Back on topic, even though he said he wouldn't reply anymore, ego dictates that I must get my own two cents in.

I was also in NY at the time... What really sort of made me raise an eyebrow was when you were like,

"Omgtehlagz?"

and he was like,

"I have 150 ping"

"Exactly."

I really don't know where you live, or if you're on T1/2/3/12, but I know that I myself run at about 100-150 average. I used to run about 60... Not sure what happened since then, but oh well. Anywho, I'ma done now. Now I wont post here unless somebody wants something from me for some reason or another. In which case I'll PM them angrily. Bye bye!

Ob-la-di.

Yesterday, i was floating round eta, when i saw AT LEAST 30 PEOPLE IN MEW YORK! this is ridiculous! this is whats causing all these lag storms and crashes

i HIGHLY suggest you start running now, and put as much systems between you and NY, i think anyone who has no reason to be there, should leave, or the admin will use a new weapon, the DISLOCATOR thats like a jumpgate-inna-gun that sucks up general nuisances(the people who beg and spill their verbal diarrhea into NY but dont actually do anything) and spits them out all around sirius, now THAT will solve problems

' Wrote:This not the first time i hear that problem and you have to deal with it, cause all players here come from different countries and the Server stands in the Czech Republic, so it is clear that a player from Australia has a high ping, sure you are dissatisfied not to hit him, but to ban this people is also the wrong way, so take it easy and find another target, like me:D
i live 200km from Czech Republic so my ping is stable ^^
and THATS why i stay away from NY, i already have enough lag with my ping average 350!
