No its not a tech issue thread. I've moved to Las Vegas and now sadly I no longer have decent pings to the TG servers. I'm lucky if I can get on them at 85 or so but for a week now its been 120 or higher to the main server. Any chance of a server somewhat more westerly in future? As it is I miss TG but can't play on the servers.

Welcome to my world. I almost never ping under 120 to the TG servers, usually around 150-180.

Battlefield features almost no ping compensation whatsoever. I can kick complete ass in TF2 since Valve's ping comp. rules, but in 2142, it becomes almost impossible to hit anyone. At long ranges, your bullets will simply go through people, no matter if you aim in front, behind, or whatever.

Get used to what I see 99% of the time - you turn a corner, and begin firing at a guy. You *APPEAR* to have drilled him with about 12 bullets from your Baur (meaning he should've died 7 bullets ago). You see him dive prone, and you are INSTANTLY dead, to his Voss. You don't even see him fire. You just see him dolphin-dive and instantly kill you faster than a Zeller to the forehead. He doesn't even appear bothered by it.

It becomes extremely hard to play this game well with anything above 'low' ping. I usually play Support for this reason, as a wall of bullets or shot is a lot more forgiving on ping than any other weapon.

My standart ping from EU is 110 on the TG server and well... you do get used to it. 110 is manageable. You aren´t around rubberbanding usually. Pings of 160 and above get bad... where you start rubberbanding and you zoom in twice when pressing the right mouse button


I experienced quite the opposite. You take cover behind a wall and 2 seconds later you get a headshot from the sniper you just took cover from. Unloading whole scattergun clips into peoples back without them having a scratch. TF2s "ping compensation" has never done anything for me

Meh don't worry about it you'll get used to that kind of ping. In fact when I play on the MG server it is very hard to adjust back to normal pinged servers.

The only thing hig-pinged people can't really deal with is dolphin-diving IMO of course Lyra is indestructable so... Just report DD and wait the 15 seconds.

At shorter ranges ping doesn't matter TOO much but you still run into situations where you die before you literally even see them fire a shot (from full health to boot). At longer ranges, especially targets moving left-right, it's just a matter of luck.
