+--- Thread: What should we do with lag-players ? (/showthread.php?tid=98313)
RE: What should we do with lag-players ? - Ash - 05-12-2013
Lagging sucks. If it sucks for you as an opponent it definitely sucks for the guy who's lagging. I know because when I was running FL off a system that could hardly handle Windows XP, dog fights were just a wicked waste of time. You never knew where you were going and one way or another you were going to lose. So if some dude is messing with your game play experience because he's lagging, just reflect on the fact that at the end of the day, nobody wins anything through lag. Just plow through it and keep your RP. If it bothers you that much, go fight someone else with a higher ping.
I'm honestly not getting why people are moaning so much about winning today.
Jees.

I know with Festus there were a couple of indy pirates I had to deal with, no lag until they started losing then they suddenly develop internet problems.
I know lag can come out of nowhere. Windows Update can bring a PC to its knees, so can the performance profiler. But when its the same guy getting lag everytime he starts losing, well, patterns are not usually random.

In my 4 years of being in disco I have never looked at an opponent's ping/lag, even if they are bouncing around, in which case I just pull back, so it has never been an issue. Same thing if I'm the one lagging.
Looking at a bunch numbers first in order to decide how much fun you are going to have must be a hell of an issue.

It's all about blue messages nower-days, I normaly avoid laggers ( easy to detect them ) and do RP instead, at the end of the day, When you have lag during pvp, Drop mines and head to cruise. becasue human discourse goes out the window.

How exactly is Lag calculated anyway?
Because looking at the player list right now:
378 0 2
Ok that makes sense, lag is 2% because ping is high, but
56 0 12
How has he got more lag but a much lower ping?
411 0 0
Hes got a higher ping than the first guy, but no lag at all?
I saw a guy on Saturday who had a ping under 100, 0% loss but 80% lag? And he was spazzing out all over the place.

Q_Q thread is Q_Q. There's not exactly many laggy players about (As far as i've seen)
And what. You suggest the admins start banning people for having a poorer connection than you?
And you once ranted to me about me having lagg. You got the wrong player on that one.
PS: Come with with a better engagement line than ''i attack rm'' Yes i've actually seen you use that one.

No one asked no one to ban anyone . Try read all mate .
And you never ever saw me saying "i attack rm"and shooting unless we were in a big fight in some big groups , and even then i try puting more than "i see you , now die".
I will not explain what was said before by all of us , try read the last post (before you posted) and you will see that this is a real "problem" . I did not asked a sanction whatsoever . Be constructive or don't be at all .

I know this subject is such a flamebait, but seriously guys, if you can't keep it civil, simply don't post. Also, trial-by-forum is a big no-no.
Thread cleaned. Keep it civil and keep it ontopic.

He's talking about people who has for exmp 40-100ping and the rest zeros.
That kind of jumpers, warpers or whatever they call them.
And for kind with 2-10% lag.
Those kind of people has interesting answer when you told them that you can't hit them because you barely see them on your screen.

If it's obviously lagging, OoRP a PM to the player saying that you can't fight due to the lag then IRP it from there.
If nothing's bouncing around...just try and hold on to your emotions and take the death, it's not going to happen every time. Death in-game isn't supposed to be taken personally, it's an RP server.
