Hopeless 2 Forum

Remus,

I need GOOD CONNECTION players that don't bounce and that don't come into camp and drive my FPS down to 12 and lower. Every time I get in a camp ready to play, BOOM, here comes a F'N moron twitcher

We need a camp that those guys can't access. Let them all play together with their equal twitching and all that. The rest of us (I've met quite a few guys who simply can't beat the pingers so they won't even play but 10 minutes a week) can avoid them and actually have fun!

Yeah. I know, I know...

I know that a decent PC doesn't cost a lot of money (although it would still be $800 minimum here) but I just can't swing that these days.

Obama is F'n me, electric prices have gone up 3-fold, food prices have shot up 40%, the dollar is falling and falling, and I need the money I make to keep a home -- or else I'll be playing the game as a homeless guy from the public library!

But, dangit, we good connection guys are loyal too. I swear!

Think about it for a future update please.

a good connection camp - aka - an oasis in the desert.

What a lovely thought!

When I play the "top" players, I almost become convinced that 90% of all the guys have bad connection. And then I get to thinking that a lot of it must be me.

But when I go into these off-brand camps with just a few players, there are always 2 or 3 guys who are fussin' and cussin' and screaming "YOU'RE A HACKER!" and "WTF" and "YOU WON'T DIE" at the twitchers.

And I realize I'm not so smart as some, but the logical picture paints itself in H2.

The overwhelming majority of "pros" here play constantly because they're the ones NOT screaming these things. They can kill smooth players with the quickness, and they stand equal chance against other bad connections.

And then there are the rest of us...

We're out there, Scrap, and our numbers are growing!

WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT... ANYMORE!!!!!!

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm thirsty!

Josh, you're going to play alone in that camp, but this is not my problem.
Please tell me your desired "max allowed ping to pass".

"Ping" you've said before doesn't necessarily equal bad connection. A player with 160 ping might actually be better than an 80 ping depending...

So, how about some type of secret Remus coding that picks up on the connection bandwidth or something instead?

All players are welcome... IF they decide to switch from tin cans and string and dial-up to something a little more 21st century

I'm not GOD, but I can create that routine.
The main problem is that after login, 30-60 seconds are needed for this routine to catch the players with bad connection.
And this is very annoying for anyone.
Also, if the "bad pingers" are lucky during this test ...

But... I see potential!

Another option would be a short (10 sec) connection test after login
and a new command for the session owner: > maxping 160
All the players with bad ping are kicked out of the camp (including the session owner).

OHHHH!

Now this is getting interesting!!

My luck, though, I'd be thrown out! I've never tested over 90, but I just know I'd have 250 once in that camp.

Karma for all the times I've called everyone else "pingy."
