Okay. Like WTF. Seriously, the ping on the Maw server is rocketing up for me. Usually i get 99-101 ping on it, now i get 167-200. It even went up to 667 and 1100 a couple times. And yes the lag did play a factor in me losing the tournament but I wont whine about that. It's no fun when you warm and cant hit -hump!-. Please help me. This isnt happening to me on other servers. The TUI ping is 32-66, and its located farther way from me than the maw server.


Thanks.

Why are you telling us? Its not like we look at the tournament stats and go "My word.. that k121widowmaker sure does suck, and there is no excuses for him being sucky. I dont want to talk to him - ever".

Yes, whether or not you play horribly due to your lag, that won't stop me from trash-talking you. :)

Hopefully it won't lag as much as in Halo 2 PC, where we might have the next Maw tournament.

I think if we do a tournament, it sould be on a LAN, instead of over the internet. Because then everybody would have no lag, and therefore everybody wouldn't be hindered by lag. (I'd pwn everybody without lag.)

I could shut the server down and save myself $36/month.

Hey, the simple fact of it is, a good player can adapt to any ping on any server. Or at least they should be able to. I'm sure I'm not alone in regretting not practicing a bit more on the server when I had my chance earlier. Gotta keep your head up though, and that's all I have to say about that.

I had fun in the tourny and am gratetful that Iggwilv is doing it.

Yes and no. If everyone is getting similar pings, it's a matter of figuring out how much to lead your shots. If your ping is considerably worse than others, they will have an advantage– they can shoot you before you can see them. In sniper games, you're toast.

Iwantsomecookies: Because I need some help with my ping.

Iggwilv: The server is cool, but 36 BUCKS?????? Jeezus man, SoC gaming charges only 30 bucks for the same type of server.

Okay, seriously, if things don't change here I will blow my top off. Like first, people seriously need major ovberhauls in their behaviour. Like for example, enough -hump!-ing Join My Clan threads. No wonder people are leaving the maw all of a sudden. Things are going down the tube here.

thats not true, any player can fall prey to lag, there is no way to get around it if its that bad. dont b so arrogant, i hate when ppl say 'a good player can adapt to any ping...', its not true, and while im only a half decent player, it is unaccetable to expect someone to proform well under any circumstances, things happen, its no ones fault, but dont try to point fingers


Sorry, but WTF are you talking about, seriously.

Lag sucks, but everyone has to deal with it. Nothing arrogant about that at all, and there is no finger pointing.

A good player can adapt and knows how to adapt, a noob doesn't. End of story.

Having a high ping can be an advantage in close quarter fighting. It's almost impossible to follow a player's movements with a high ping as long as that person doesn't run in a straight line.

I think some of you guys simply don't know what the frick you are talking about.

Play more Halo is my advice.

That's true, but you assume that you can even follow a high pinger. Most high pingers are noobs with crappy connections, so they aren't good, and don't vary their movements enough. You get a great player with a high ping, and they will do damage, or at least avoid many deaths simply because tracking and leading them will be very hard.

Overkill Kim, calm down dude. I have noticed a decrease in activity, as well as an increase in jackassism in the bungie servers. I am just glad that SOME people, mainly from the MAW, still have decency left in them.
