Customizable Ping Cap/Limit

iownturface · February 2011

How come we can't have the option to limit the ping in a room we create? I know this has been ask time and time again but I won't to know why we can't have this ablility...is it because if we limit the ping to say 100 as the max that we will eliminate all the BR's, Turks, etc from joining our rooms and ruining our game play?

Im Agree!! thats a soooooooooooooooooooooooooo greeeeat idea :DDDD

Its a good idea and z8 would like to put it in but its a really complicated thing to do. How do you think youd set up a computer system to check peoples connections and automatically kick someone out in the middle of a game or just keep them out of a room? Then normal US or UK players can have bad connections or spikes, so it wouldnt be fair to them...

I'm glad to see somebody agrees that it would be a great idea, c'mon community speak up and let's see what everybody thinks about this, the pros and cons I guess you could say.

I understand it would be tough to do but a simple check on the up/down speed upon connection to the server would determine what they could and could not join. They could give them a 25-50ms allowance for spikes, etc to filter in. That is just my idea but I know it would cost alot of to implicate something like this but with all the ZP that is bought... lol they should be able to afford a few more servers to handle the speed check part as well as the database tying in realtime. If they need an example I would more than happy to write them one

I do this on a daily basis

Id love too have that option , but yea as you said "If we limit the ping to say 100 as the max that we will eliminate all the BR's, Turks, etc from joining our rooms and ruining our game play?". I think it's because of that

I do like the idea that ping cap helps eliminate people with bad ping (usually >150.)
The idea also helps eliminate hackers as well (Do you notice that aimbotters or wallers have higher pings compare to others?)
The only draw back is that a number genuine players with cheap parents or people from Europe cannot play if all rooms have a limit ping of 50 or so. (>.> me, i live in cali + slow internet = 130 ping or above

)
It is like saying that "If you don't live in Canada or England, go play other games."

not good idea, because all players have different providers and different ping

This would only work on dedicated servers. I would love for CF to offer this, clans would be able to host several permanent servers customized to fit their needs.
