Ping limit raise

This is just a request, I'd really REALLY appreciate it if the ping limit on JBA was raised to 350. I keep getting kicked mid game most of the time, even when I have a good score :-| It's really annoying, I know it's on my end, but if any one of the Admins could raise the limit, I would appreciate it so much. I would get better internet, I am currently using mobile internet but we just can't afford it yet. I took a job as an (underage) bartender in Malaysia for the moment, so after I start getting paid and stuff, I can get us some better internet and what not. I completely understand if it isn't raised, I wont hold any grudge or anything :innocent:


Thank you!

Having too many players with high ping causes the whole server to lag, that's why we don't raise it.

JBA already has one of the highest ping limits in all of SWBF2 because I know we get players from all over the world.
I don't know how anyone plays with a ping above 260 or so....

Ah, that's alright then. I can deal with it, no problem. I'll just get better internet. I seriously need it anyway, this freaking mobile 3G internet is the WORST :| It's like a tiny USB plugin thing, it's a real [derriere orifice] to me when it's game time.


It's tough to play with a high ping, I consider myself to be very underrated at times, heh. To play with all the constant lag...

I agree being booted for ping is a hassle but understand the admin concerns. As for no one playing with a ping over 260 I regularly play with 300+ on US servers and even 400+ on a European server. Being Australian I have no chance of reducing my ping but I still like to play where my friends are despite the lag or possible kicks =)

If you didn't lag, you'd be playing terribly because you've gotten so used to using precognition to shoot where the enemy will be five minutes from now.

I guess that's somewhat true. But wouldn't no lag be as clear as SP? I'm pretty good in SP when it comes to accuracy.

@Nuzza, I understand the admin concerns completely, it's no big deal.

Do you play on the AUS server, Sparrow? That would work.

Yeah, 3G Internet isn't "gaming" Internet. LTE could be viable, but definitely not 3G.

And for the record, I play with 160-180 ping on both the Hero Assault and JBA servers because I live in Hawaii. Back when Shattered Planet/OSF May the Force Be With You was around, I could actually play Sniper and Trooper (the server was located in the West Coast and my ping to WC is pretty decent), but SWBF2's netcode is pretty bad and the two most played servers are Midwest/East Coast servers. It's kind of a crappy situation for me since I can't go toe to toe with high level players because they have 60 ping and I have 180.

I still use 3G and not it's nothing usefull for gaming, i have a 100ms ping to most european server in most game, but playing in USA servers is really crazy for lag....
I can manage games at 100-150 without any issues.....but going over to 250 on JBA is just terrible
