Posted August 7, 200915 yr I live in the U.S. and I like to play on servers with Mumble. I play quite regular with you guys, and I would really like to be part of the events that you have such as the "Retro" thing this weekend. However when you hold your events you place the ping kick lower than the server regularly is. Now, I bum my internet off my neighbors because I'm a broke bastard with a mortgage so my ping fluctuates a bit, but holds steady on your server at 220. With my ping at 220 basically the only thing that I cant do is fly and that is just because of the lag spikes, thus I don't. I noticed a lot of other people were unable to join in the events due to this as well. So please during events keep the ping kicker at the same rate as the server normally is, or at least let everyone know it is going to be changed in the event information so we do not sign up or download anything we are not going to be able to play. love, SneekyShadow

August 7, 200915 yr ...imo.. if the ping is raised too high our servers would be inundated with people from os... then OUR community would have cause to complain... bit of a damned if we do and damned if we don't... I hear your pain... gotta give the missus a foot rub b4 i'm allowed to play.... http://i783.photobucket.com/albums/yy116/IINoddyII/aux1_zpsab5224fd.png
August 7, 200915 yr Sneeky, the ping got changed to 250 not long after you left so hopefully it will be working for you now. Just make sure you get the new file http://www.bigdgaming.net/showpost.php?p=162880&postcount=66 Or you'll experience CTD's like the rest of us this arvo. Aresnik [WC] Leiutenant Braaaaaaaarp!
August 7, 200915 yr ...imo.. if the ping is raised too high our servers would be inundated with people from os... then OUR community would have cause to complain... bit of a damned if we do and damned if we don't... We have 2 servers, it would be nice to have them both full. I like having the Yanks down, they are usually excellent team players. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0903/SirChuc/smokejumper3.jpg http://bigdgaming.net/images/added/awards/valorousunit.bmphttp://bigdgaming.net/images/added/awards/OperationCrownRibbon02.jpg Or as one of many thousands of Canadians have said, my guns are at the bottom of that lake.

August 7, 200915 yr Pretty sure the US guys run the same events through the official PR forums don't they? Perhaps you would be better off playing in them? Trust me I wish pings from Australia to the US were low enough to be considered optimal for playing FPS games but alas ATM it is going to be difficult at best.
August 7, 200915 yr the ping limit for server 2 is currently set at 250 so if you do have a ping of 220 you should be fine. The ping spikes maybe whats killing you but even locals have issues there. http://www.madhouseau.com/misc/sigs/darthsig.jpg
August 7, 200915 yr happy to help but as far as i can tell the ping limit has been at 250 for over a week http://www.madhouseau.com/misc/sigs/darthsig.jpg
