chaos1986 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 A lot of ZS players in the UK and Australia can't play any more as we constantly get kicked because our pings are always higher than 250. My ping is between 200 - 900 depending on what time of day it is, a lot of UK players are still on dialup because the internet in this country sux and broadband isn't always readily available, where i live it would cost around £20,000 to get the lines installed, and even then we would only get 100 - 200kb/s, we basically have to play as zombie as we get kicked every 10 minuites and when we rejoin we are zombie Quote Link to comment
Iulian Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I don't think that's possible , if you ruin the game , like tele-lag , imagine that people will whine about that and stuff. Quote Link to comment

Get off dial-up, if you use it for gaming then...why?3. I do support people coming in from different countries to play in one server, equality n' all that. But if there is an australian server available, go dere.I like criticism, so flame on! Quote Link to comment

Albzi Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I live in Essex (England). My ping is 40... Maybe u just gai? Quote Link to comment
Dr. Pannenkoek Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Well, the plans for fibre optic is that it will pass through York, so hopefully that'll mean that Leeds will at least get a boost. Quote Link to comment
Balmung Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 At least you guys are gonna get fibre optics, It won't come near where I live and the exchange is miles away.Having said that I still get 30-70 ping on all servers.Heres a PROTIP for you chaos1986: Don't play whilst d/ling porn.

Notte Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 We have americans on the servers xD And people from UK have problems xD Thats not what i expected xD Quote Link to comment
Dusty Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I'm from Preston, UK. I have a ping of roughly 30-35, and I never have any problems with pings, as long as I'm not downloading anything at the same time.I don't actually know anyone that still uses dial up, and haven't done for years.

There are some places the government just doesn't give a shit about Quote Link to comment
Damien Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Error dont go to the netherlands, its a shitty country with a bad government. But it has decent internet speeds. :Slately server is acting weird when there are more than 30 people, pings rise to 500 for a short while. Psychopeti even got kicked for having a to high ping. :/ Quote Link to comment
chaos1986 Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 yeh the ping needs to get raised to at least 600, I've had a constant ping of 500 and I can still play (without lagging to badly) on a very busy TTT server.things start getting a bit flaky at around 750 - 800I guess no one here remembers the early days of quake, and the term LPB's?

There's not much interesting stuff here in terms of nature, but if you're searching a place to study or live under good laws, this is the place. Quote Link to comment

Ywa Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 We could raise it with like 50 ms. But changing it to 500-900 would just be too much. It's not a problem on our side because our network got great international lines.Sorry man Quote Link to comment
Toaster Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I would like it if you could bump it up like 50 on the TF2 and CSS servers. I get kicked for my ping being 10 too high. Quote Link to comment

It's not a problem on our side because our network got great international lines.Sorry man OK yeh that would help quite a bit when my ping sits at its usual 289 - 330, it is SOOO frustrating getting randomly kicked, especially if your a human and doing really well.Also when the server is quite i see people coming on then getting kicked 10 minutes later. could we try it at 350, and if its to slow bring it down to 300. I do play this server a lot, and have played it loooooaaaads in the past, think i've been a player here for 3 - 4 years now, on and off like.yeh the ping needs to get raised to at least 600, I've had a constant ping of 500 and I can still play (without lagging to badly) on a very busy TTT server.things start getting a bit flaky at around 750 - 800I guess no one here remembers the early days of quake, and the term LPB's?500? where the hell do you live??You do know this is a european server?Crossgreen, Leeds, England LS9. otherwise known as dialup county Quote Link to comment
