Or because you don't pvp and don't understand how important a few ms is to your casting/fighting abilityI played on dialup with over 300 ping until 2004. I can deal with much more because I'm not a spoiled baby.
Same here but it was till 08 for meI played on dialup with over 300 ping until 2004. I can deal with much more because I'm not a spoiled baby.
More like COULDN`T and since thats the key word..... pretty sure most of us DID understand the importance of a few ms. I mean there is more to UO than PvP. *shakes head*Or because you don't pvp and don't understand how important a few ms is to your casting/fighting ability
Pre aos i played with dial-up, gosh what a blast that was i remember chasing people across the bucs den server line and locking up sometimesOmg I dont want to remember dial up thats all i had for 5 or so years 400 to 500 ping was good ! i remember seeing over 1k ping !
champ spawns were the best on 56k hit my eq scrolls wait to get dconned; try to log back in hoping I didn't get killed or stolen from.Pre aos i played with dial-up, gosh what a blast that was i remember chasing people across the bucs den server line and locking up sometimes
But you've got nice **** so you are forgiven.I played on dialup with over 300 ping until 2004. I can deal with much more because I'm not a spoiled baby.
Get out of my city.10 to Legends 21 to LS, Pittsburgh - Comcast
Anything over 40 is LAG city and not for me, means you can run on foot but try and run on a mount and your dead.
Tina packet loss is impossible using the type of connection UO uses so whoever told you anything about packet loss filled your head with BS. The connection buffers all packets so nothing gets lost just put in the buffer.
your complaining about being 16ms? there is no difference to that and being 2ms
I was being a smartassyour complaining about being 16ms? there is no difference to that and being 2ms
I currently ping LS at 31ms. When I first started, I was on dial-up, and anything less than 1k was a blessing.To your tastes, what is that ping limit past which you consider Ultima Online unplayable for your liking?
Is that both for PvP and PvM or can you be more relaxed for PvM as you are with PvP ?
How much more relaxed ?
No kidding - the 2 biggest running jokes were if LS was even up, and if it should be renamed to Lag Superior...Hell, shortly after I started playing, it was lucky that LS would even stay up long enough to have a ping to.![]()
Try ATL from a euro line and you'll be happy to blaze through Yew at 120.![]()
From Pittsburgh PA.. (No Packet Loss)Out of curiosity, of players playing on shards across the oceans (i.e. north americans playing on european or asian shards or vice versa, europeans or asians playing north american shards), what are the average pings that people experience as compared to those they get for shards located in their continent ?
Is there much of a difference when talking DSL or cable in the actual ping one gets when playing the game ?
Has anyone so far been able to try out both DSL and Cable and is able to tell what difference in practical terms may be there as far as ping goes ?
Pistols at dawn!Pittsburgh is my city![]()
Until fairly recently 120 was normal for me, but I seem to have improved a lot lately. But 120 is perfectly playable. A lot of the joystick jocks seem to think if you don't have lower than a 30 ping you can't play, the same bunch that think if you don't buy the fotm hardware every six months you can't play. That is ridiculous, and the vast majority of the gaming world doesn't have access to that kind of money, or have access to the kind of local internet infrastructure required to achieve pings like that, or have less than a dozen hops to their favourite servers.You know speaking of ping....
I have a 2.5 mb/s download speed and a 1 mb/s upload speed. I checked this with speedtest.
In game I ping 120. Is this normal for that speed?
And thats the fastest I can get where I live!
BTW, I'm on the east coast and playing Atlantic. Which is the best ping as to where I live.
That about sums it up...If I can't move my character around very well, that's my unplayable "ping."
Unqualified statement. Both DSL and Cable are able to deliver equal performance based on their technical design, and in regards to UO requirements FiOS will not make any difference either.DSL is crap. Cable is great. FiOS is better.
