sartt Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Should get 50% reduced damage shields and speed. Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakkolich Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) Should get 50% reduced damage shields and speed. Just saying. Should they also do 50% extra damage then? Edit: Oops apparently I read that too fast, I'm guessing you meant they should do 50% less damage, have 50% less shields and have 50% less speed. I didn't notice the damage part before sorry. Maybe you don't realize how much harder it is for the person laging to do damage in the first place. I've had terrible pings before on GSF, often while my wife is downloading something without telling me. It's no picnic on the other side. That bouncing that you see a laging person do, that happens to all other players in the game while you're trying to shoot. Most of the time I just move on to another target when I see someone bouncing like that, because I just feel bad for them having to play that way.

Archonitek Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Lining up a gunship, boosting in for the attack, and watching helplessly as you sail past at full speed without firing a shot.... Good times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolo_Yeung Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Hey... I am back Friend sponsored me a month of sub Will again discuss why the battlescouts are so OP that people don't want to use them, preferring ballanced gunships. Are you happy? ... And now back to the topic... High but stable ping is not much of a problem, the problem is a little lousy game engine. For instance, when I am circling the sat with T3 scout, Tensor active - locking an EMP missile. Bomber is flying nearly smoothly, with small 'jumps', that still keep it within targetting circle - and yet the lock breaks for no reason... *if* someone would be fixing the GSF (it isn't much likely...) then a much better idea would be to fix the lock mechanics... PS. Sometimes it is even more serious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALaggyGrunt Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 If you are holding still (i.e. GS sniping), someone with high ping is a serious threat: you won't know you're getting shot until you've sploded. If you aren't, they can't hit you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakhathKilrathi Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Lining up a gunship, boosting in for the attack, and watching helplessly as you sail past at full speed without firing a shot.... Good times! Meanwhile, the gunship in question is swearing because you just won't HOLD STILL. Seriously though, hope it stops giving you so much trouble soon.

Verain Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Playing from hotels has been ludicrous. It's awful to have a high ping, but the people who slide around lagging really are frustrating as well. I'm just glad it's rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
