and no i do not do this.. i have cable im stuck with my country main subnet....
but i do get my actuall ip changed weekly usualy only by 2-3 digits
but the bignning 2 sets of ip is allways the same..
but like i said
on dial up or other its not hard to change it
First off, no, you can't change your actual IP to whatever you want.
If anything, you can change your internal. Which won't result in anything to anyone but you.
IP-addresses are highly restricted and most are already in use.
And unless you're bouncing, everyone will still get a relatively solid regional trace. -
There's something wrong with your idea if everyone who it targets disagrees with it.
And all the stuckup Americans agree because they can't deal with players who still fking own them with 20 times their ping.
You all know faulty coding is half the issue. Fix that.
If you don't miss, the laggers don't get you. It's only when you miss. Hitting behind walls? If we had lower ping, the bullets would hit you before you get behind the wall. You still die. -
Ok, this is plenty of examples of why we need IP Restrictions in crossfire.
Gonna leave most of these as links, you can click them if you like.
Well, first to start off is a game I played at midnight in Bravo3-26. As you can see plenty of 150+ ping and 3, 500 pingers.

Another sniper prison match a few minutes before the link before this in a completely different channel, Bravo1-16. I know people say don't play in the morning because that's when the laggers are awake and running rampant, but wow it's almost Midnight in this picture as you can see in the corner the time. 11:44PM

Ok, so this is where I tried to get away from all the laggers, I went to try the UK server where I have a somewhat bad ping but you know what I deal with them all day everyday so I was going to see how it feels. Yet I join this room on the UK server and the idiots can't even figure out that they have an even HIGHER ping in this server.

Now, Time: 12:09PM, right at noon.. not quite in the morning but not later in the day. Joined this game in Charlie1-6. The player on my team Exaltation has a decent ping. (He is my friend and is from California so he usually plays on west coast to have a lower ping, since he was playing w/ me he didn't have his lowest ping). There is only one other person in this match w/ under 100 ping.

Same as above. Bravo3-17. Time: 7:50PM

Same as above. Only person in game w/ low ping is one of my friends. Bravo8-39. Time: 4:32PM

Same as above. Friend - low ping (you got it now.) Bravo4-12.

Now here is a screenshot that is total bull****. When you enter a game and they find out your one of the few low pingers in the room, They will kick you for having the ping you are supposed to have.
When this is going on in a game meant for North America and the UK your not supposed to have pings above 100, you can see my friend that lives south west of US has under 100 ping, just barely but its under. Z8 has made a UK server to fix their 150 pings on the regular server. Now it's time to restrict IP's to NA and UK ONLY! or atleast make a server for every region until 90% of pings are under 100. Which is easier? Obviously banning the IP's. What will happen? maybe I'll let you all discuss and z8 might get a thought in their head that the game is being ruined and the competitive play fails.
PS: go ahead and tl;dr, flame, excuse. I DON'T REALLY CARE.
Do you even know what will happen if they do that? People will spam the forums till they take the IP restrictions away, since there are alot of international clans. So most of them will come here to complain since they can't play with their clan mates. -

That is their problem. If they want to play the game they should download a version that is used closer to their location or play in a server closer to their location.
Example, if you play in Spain play in the UK servers. If you are Russian, play the Asian version.
Many other games have a program that kicks for high ping. Example, many servers in BF2 will kick for being over 150 ping.
Many servers in Counter-Strike will do the same.
Pingers in CF are some of the reasons why people can do the "10 foot arms" knife kill and how they can pop out around a corner and kill you before you even see them.
The game's lag compensation sucks, and it seems to favor the people with high ping which is complete BS. If I have a ping of 25, which I do average, everyone who is ping 150 should be getting killed by ME before THEY see me, not the other way around.
I should be moving smoothly, and they should be moving choppily or behind everyone else.
Where am I? I'm in Chicago. I play in either Alpha/Bravo/etc or the East coast servers. I stay away from the West coast and UK servers...
I've joined a few servers where I was 100+, and it sucks! I usually can't register a hit on anyone, the game spasses out at times, and it is really aggrivating so I don't know how they even put up with it. Wait, I know how. When 90% of the players are 150 ping, the server slows all functions down and everyone plays laggy! That sucks! It leaves more kills to chance than to anything else.
I stopped playing CF because it was getting near unbearable, and the known game issues were not being resolved. I took a break to get back into BF2 and CS for a while, and I played CF a few weeks ago and found it WORSE than I left it!
What has Z8 done? They've added more server locations but have done nothing to fix known issues in the current maps/servers, and have done nothing to regulate who plays in which server.
The NA servers are for NA players ONLY! If you are in Brazil or somewhere not in NA, don't play in NA!
How can we enforce this? High ping auto-kicks... -
This was tonight.
I thought the west coast server was supposed to IMPROVE gameplay for West Coast players like me.
This is why I don't even play in WC server anymore. >_> I remember a game I joined a few weeks ago. Lowest ping : Me with 40 or so. 2nd lowest ping : 240.There's something wrong with your idea if everyone who it targets disagrees with it.
And all the stuckup Americans agree because they can't deal with players who still fking own them with 20 times their ping.

If you don't miss, the laggers don't get you. It's only when you miss. Hitting behind walls? If we had lower ping, the bullets would hit you before you get behind the wall. You still die.
Ah, you must be a high pinger than. The frustration has nothing to do with not killing them because we might be missing. It's because dying WAY before you even see the person that killed you can be extremely irritating.
Most of us don't even agree because we get "owned" by people with pings 20 times higher than ours, because that's not even an issue. We're not getting "owned" by anybody. Just simply dying because they see us before we see them. Get a regular high pinger against a low pinger, and give them the same ping, and THEN see who "owns" who. -

100% agree with you man ..speak the truth -
The high pinger. Our aim is more defined because we need twice as many bullets to hit at least for a kill.This is why I don't even play in WC server anymore. >_> I remember a game I joined a few weeks ago. Lowest ping : Me with 40 or so. 2nd lowest ping : 240.
