Will ping thresholds ever be implemented on the servers? It doesn't have to be too stringent, but 250+ people are a pain to headshot ... :mad:
 
Any good reason to appease the masses? now I am curious about what can't be sacrificed by keeping the "warpers" on the servers.
 
There is the ping system where it kicks you if you've got high ping for too long. I don't see why it would be a problem to implement that system?
 
The problem would be, quite a lot of people would not be able to play on Skial servers, I guess, I'd basically quit playing on the servers if this was implemented. Took me a long time to find a group that actually did not kick me with a little over 300 when I just joined TF2 and I've been in playing in Skial since.

No, but I hope you realize what happens when you have high ping. You're being extremely annoying to other players.

It ends up balanced, Someone skipping all over the screen is hard to hit yes, but that person undoubtedly has the enemy popping up in front of them already blasting away with no warning.
In a public game this is overlooked mostly, but you try playing a lobby with this sort of ping and you will piss people off big time.
 
Well okay, granted, it's not as annoying in normal pub games, but it's really damn annoying in VSH games where every individual counts. If someone lags like hell they're probably not going to be able to contribute all that much to the team, and as Saxtons they're even more annoying since he'll one-shot you, so you need to be able to identify his pattern to counter him.
 
... you guys take your custom game so cereal. Like, I dunno how you can function you guys are so cereal about it. 0.0

also, yeeeaaah some times when my internet is shitting the bed i join servers with a ping of 400+~ which slowly evens back out/down to under 100. Most ping cap servers tell me to go fuck myself and kick me on bad days :((IT TAKES LONGER THAN 5 seconds for my ping to stabalize! STOP RUSHING ME)

I never really played VSH, only once or twice, one thing is i didnt realise it was a team based game, thought it was more like a free for all.

are you confusing vsh with arena? cause vsh is obviously team based

as opposed to arena? i'm pretty sure the 'team' in Team Fortress 2 kind of implied it was a team-based game in general.

VSH isn't necessarily more team-based than arena, one person can take out a hale all by himself, one person can achieve a lot more damage and provide more utility than a group of people.

Bullshit, it's me and pr1mus who does all the hard work, everyone else goes scout or engineer and believes they'll do any damage. Then the wankers either go demoknight or goomba stomp scouts and fail miserably after seeing us dominating the whole server. :facepalm:
