Feature Request: Max Ping
« on: May 14, 2011, 01:34:58 AM »
Allow server admins to set a max ping on their server. The server checks a player's ping after a period of say 30 seconds, for example, if their ping is not get below the max limit then they are kicked.

Good idea. +1
Now let's wait until Jitspoe add this on Feature Vote List, and never realise it. This is how almost every feature end.

If this happens how will euros and Americans match? Most Brazilians pub on American servers, and if they can't play on those where will they go? I'm sure you were pubbing, and you couldn't hit a euro and you got mad, and decided to come on the forums because you can't take it anymore :D

This isn't to block from playing servers which you are far from, but to kick players that lag and irritates other. I guess 400 ping limit is enough. Tell me, who normal got ping over 400? Only kids, which forgot to stop porn downloading...
On the other hand: Aren't you frustrated when newbie just teleport over your line and kill you?

this sounds like a dumb idea. What if somebody playing in a match has a sudden lag spike and their ping rises for a few seconds.If People have lag spikes but their average pings are below the required level to be in the server then people will start to complain. This idea would cause way more problems then it would solve.

Their lag doesn't affect the server at all, so it really doesnt matter. Somebody with 150 ping can be teleporting more then somebody with 450 ping. And, a lot of players have spikes where there ping jumps to 1000 for a 10s, or in matches they are lagging to much to play themselves but still want to watch their team... there's no reason to kick people just because it gets frustrating for other people to play against them. Soooo -1

KiLo said, that would be kick after 30 sec for example.
And, i see no problem for matches: cvar_set pingkick 0 ...

Yeah, he CAN, but thats not very often...
Looks like SKEET and MyeRs doesn't really read whole topic before posting.

Play at Podkarpacie_PL first... You will see massive lag when player with ping 500 enters...

^ 'Yeah he CAN but that's not very often '' --> Are you like brand new to this game? Like seriously? I can have 50 ping and lag on your screen more then a guy with 250 ping. Rick has 250 to 300 ping and does not glitch at all on anyone's screen. Atmays had 30 ping and skipped on everyone's screen. It's pretty frequent that high pingers are just people who don't live anywhere near the server location, and do not lag, while low pingers can have bad connection and skip on your screen.

Somebody having high ping doesn't affect the server, or anyone in that server. The only thing they can do is potentially walk through your line which if you know how to aim isn't much of a problem now that we have interpolated hitboxes.

LOOKS LIKE PAYL JUST DOESNT UNDERSTAND MUCH BEFORE POSTING! He had an IDEA, how didnt we read the whole topic before posting? Silly european.

When a player with 500 Ping enters, the server will not lag because of that individual, it'll lag because of the stress on the bandwidth due to the owner having to many slots/servers available, or because it's a homerun server. Take your pick.

Don't try to talk all intelligent when you don't understand what you're saying. And try to give back an argument to support your idea instead of trying to look all smart, cause you're not. This topic has no reason to get done, it'll affect pubs and with the lack of players there's no reason to start kicking ANYONE out.

Who the intercourse plays on this server its the worst dp2 server ever made. Even homeservers lag less.
Why do you even talk and attack skeet and myers? You just spam excrement in every single topic.

Euro trash, you mean. Just like all Americans think they know everything <3 . Sorry, i'll let think like this, cause u flame. Homework: Think what Europeans think about you =] .

Why do you even talk and attack skeet and myers? You just spam excrement in every single topic.
Attack? Telling them, that they doesn't read topic (i have proof) is attack? lol. Funny. if i tell, that zimstern is wrong, i'm fool? Or maybe i get banned for that, because i "attacked" "Committee Member"?

@all: I didn't attacked MyeRs and SKEET, i just told truth, or rather, that what i think. And in response i got attacked by MyeRs and zimtstern. i'm not sure why, maybe because they think that payl is troll. Wrong.

No more comments on that.

^ LOL You said to read the thread, we did and gave our opinion. You don't understand enough about the subject to realize a player with high ping doesn't affect anyone else, it doesn't affect the server, it just gives some people some trouble hitting them.

There is no reason at all for this to be enabled, it'd get more people kicked for a 5 second lag spike rather then fixing anything. You tried to hide the attack by telling us to read the thread when we clearly did and nothing you said in the 2nd post was posted. And I proved all your arguments wrong. That's all there is to it. Also, nobody attacked you, we proved you wrong. An argument isn't an attack. You fooooool.

BEE TEE DUBZ, I'm Canadian you silly euro. So I dont 'think' I know everything, I 'know' that I know everything. But, I'm pointing out basic facts that you for some reason refuse to understand. And euros love me.

Yes, it's frustrating when you can't hit someone else because they're teleporting but that other person may see themselves teleporting in an even worst way than you do, their shots may take a lot more time to fire than yours do, they may fail a lot more jumps and be a lot slower than you are. So no, I don't feel sorry for people saying "lagger" in pubs because it has 2 ways. Of course it gets annoying, but just try to learn to live with it.
I'm with MyeRs... Atmays/Rick is a pretty good example of how ping isn't everything, and please, don't use the PodkarPacie_PL server example.

Payl, you do not get banned for attacking a Committee Member, you get banned for attacking a Community member.
American pubs will die since 2/16 are the only ones who are actually American and have "decent" pings. The rest are just South Americans and Euros...

MyeRs: Who? Besides payl obviously.

(there was more nonsens - removed due to limit of nonsens)
Funny, funny. But i have better idea. I just say something smart, and you keep writing many words with nonsens:
Think, what i think about you :-] . I'm sure you doesn't want to be threaded like that. If you want to write more nonsens about me, do it privately or create thread called "101 reasons to hate in payl". Pvtjimmy will post there with you :-] .

Ah, one thing more, If you are Canadian, then sorry Americans, Canadians are silly ;) .
I'm with MyeRs... Atmays/Rick is a pretty good example of how ping isn't everything, and please, don't use the PodkarPacie_PL server example.
Podkarpacie_PL is one of servers, so i used it as example. Some people play there, so it's good example. Because of worst connection. We aren't showing BEST pings, but WORST, right?

Yes, it's frustrating when you can't hit someone else because they're teleporting but that other person may see themselves teleporting in an even worst way than you do, their shots may take a lot more time to fire than yours do, they may fail a lot more jumps and be a lot slower than you are. So no, I don't feel sorry for people saying "lagger" in pubs because it has 2 ways. Of course it gets annoying, but just try to learn to live with it.
okok, just don't tell me, that you lag with ping 10. I don't believe. Do you know what ping is? Everyone knows that high ping<>lags. So please, stop posting about "I have ping 5 and teleport over whole map". But when you have ping 500, you have lags. Of course, if you know what lags are.

Payl, you do not get banned for attacking a Committee Member, you get banned for attacking a Community member.
Yes, i've already created other account on dplogin and on forums, so don't worry, i'm ready :-].

yeah this payl kid has no idea what he is talking about.
Thenks SKEET for your opinion. I don't know what i'm talking about, i'm just newbie which play 4 years.
Now waiting until someone posts that he plays 4.0000000001 years so he is better and i'm bad. :-]
I see that i meet here same people as on servers: "hahaha i win","hahaha scared", "hahaha noob", "hahaha you fool". Good job. Now think, that you might said "i'm sorry", "Thanks", "No problem". But well... flame <3.

well listen here "Kid" everybody is entitled to their own opinion but that does not give you the right to attack other people when they try to correct you. There is a time and place for such words as "haha noob" and "HahaHa I Win" such as in the game. but on the forums you need to show respect or else you will probably be banned. and seeing as how long this game has been around 4 years is not that long. You are a DP baby.

#1 - His words make more sense than yours, and I'm not just talking about your english. This is not personal hatred, this is us being objective about something and showing our opinion, and yes, I'm not your biggest fan either... You're also making this personal so don't tell other people are attacking you if you're doing the same. And don't go with "he threw it first so I throw it back" Thx.

#2 - Yes but it's a terrible example of a server because it's a terrible server. Doesn't really matter anyhow.

#3- Yes but MyeRs gave a perfectly good example of a case where what you said doesn't apply. Point here isn't just if they lagg or not, the point is that you shouldn't kick someone off for having an high ping. Looks like you're reading with a filter or something, this was just 1 [ONE] (<-- yeah I remember) of the reasons, read the whole thread and you'll find others.

#4- Thanks for the heads up, good to know you're prepared. FORUM MULTI ALERT. Also if you wanna be prepared go get a nuclear shelter or something, I believe your IP is banned so won't do you any good, not sure tho?

#5- Couldn't care less for how long you play. I'd rather listen to a newbie saying wise things than an older player saying senseless stuff, which is the case here... This isn't a personal attack to you as stated previously and it's not a flamefest either, you're the one turning this into a flamefest by calling people out. Stick to your opinion on the subject and not to your opinion on people please.  

You read what you want to read and you misinterpretate everything. Didn't see anything usefull torwards the thread itself in your responses as you didn't really comment on the Feature, just on what you saw as an attack to you...

Idias, you hate me. And you can't just be objective. Don't tell me that you are, because no one here is.
"1 [ONE] (<-- yeah I remember) " - Yeah, i remember too, but i don't think that is good idea to mention this back. But well, i'm not going to throw it back, as you did it last time :-] .
Thanks just for not "attacking" me because of my english, rofl ^.^ . At least you can understand me, i hope.
"You're also making this personal so don't tell other people are attacking you if you're doing the same." - Tell me, what i can do? Don't response? "hahaha scared" :-] Flame with them? "User was banned for this post". So what i do? I'm trying to be nice (o_O). And, i don't know why, but everyone understand this as "attack".

#4- Thanks for the heads up, good to know you're prepared. FORUM MULTI ALERT. Also if you wanna be prepared go get a nuclear shelter or something, I believe your IP is banned so won't do you any good, not sure tho?
Don't worry, every service like "whatismyip.com" says that i have IP 0.0.0.0 or 127.0.0.1 . I guess it's enough. You can donate me, if you want me to build a nuclear shelter :-]

well listen here "Kid" everybody is entitled to their own opinion but that does not give you the right to attack other people when they try to correct you. There is a time and place for such words as "haha noob" and "HahaHa I Win" such as in the game. but on the forums you need to show respect or else you will probably be banned. and seeing as how long this game has been around 4 years is not that long. You are a DP baby. 
>>"Kid"<< -when i called someone kid?
"You're also making this personal so don't tell other people are attacking you if you're doing the same." - That just made me laugh. Look up, SKEET. Who told "yeah this payl kid has no idea what he is talking about."? You. This is attack, flame and 0 respect. Now, please tell me, where you found that i'm attacking and not respecting others. Thanks.

And one more from idias:
>>"he threw it first so I throw it back" Thx.<< - Oh, tell me, what i have to do, if i got spamed by crazy people, which call me "fool" (MyeRs), "kid" (SKEET)? I'm trying to NOT throw it back, but:
1.It's not easy.
2.It's not easy.
3.Even if i rewrite message 100x to avoid "attacking", they just think that i attack. Because? Because i told "SKEET" and "MyeRs" that he didn't read topic before posting. And, for you, MyeRs, here is proof:
"The server checks a player's ping after a period of say 30 seconds, for example, if their ping is not get below the max limit then they are kicked." - First post
"What if somebody playing in a match has a sudden lag spike and their ping rises for a few seconds.If People have lag spikes but their average pings are below the required level to be in the server then people will start to complain." - Oh, SKEET, sorry, but KiLo told... ^.^
". And, a lot of players have spikes where there ping jumps to 1000 for a 10s" - MyeRs.
So, guys, did you really read it? ^.^ >>> I'm not sure<<< - But someone consider it as "attack" for your great players by fool-kid-newbie called payl :-] .

Well, it was my longest post i guess!
Ah, and if you want, i can create thread just to talk about me. Wow, i'm not longer 'quite' popular. I'm very popular ^.^

lmfao. kilo had a 2 line post that barely stated any facts. what I see is that he said the server would check every 30 seconds. say a player is good for 25 seconds then has a 5 second lag burst and is then kicked. is that fair? you need to clarify your arguments because right now I can barely understand any of your poor english.
