have to agree with viper. Thats what basically every player u asked said for a year now at least. I feel really sad when I see how this game developped. From a serious competiton game to some kind of casual randomness in some cases and without the goal of haing tournaments anymore. And now even denying necessary information such as pings... WTF ARE U TRYING TO KILL UR OWN GAME?!

One of the biggest issues I see before cup matches start is the debate on which server to play on, for example:

Note that I am purely showing this as an example from previous experience and I am not saying all FR teams do this

-My team have a cup match against a FR linup, since my team is split up around EU, I suggest the fairest server to play on is on a GER server since after all, a country right beside FR.

-Soon as we get on the server, my team average a ping of 50-80ms (unlike a 65-120ms to a FR serv), the FR linup immediately tell us they have over 100ms ping to the current server. Due to further discussion getting an admin involved (omg), the admin then gets fed up and tells us all to play on a FR Server.

-Now I am no networking engineer, but I call BULLSHIT on 100ms between France and Germany, This Linup exaggerate their ping to an insane level because they know they have (almost LAN speeds) a better connection to FR servers).


Just so you know this is only 1 of many examples of this BS-talk from teams, leading to unfrair play. Please just make the fix of the GetNetworkStats() Method to make it possible for different tools to get access to the pings. You don't need to have it shown default on the scoreboard

Just for information wabbi ,

When i play on a french server i have 30 ping . On a german server i have something between 80-100 . And on Lynx server ( in netherland ) i have over 100 .

So it's possible .

This surely can't be true, its too ridiculous to be true. Either the network between Ger and FR hit the bandwidth cap or French players don't optimise / cut their internet programs on their pc's. Just saying.

From Scotland, I ping to Germany about 60ms (45ms with fibre), France with 46ms (29ms with fibre).

You are telling me that the connection is between 80-100ms from France to Germany, can someone please give me evidence that this is the case, or if its just lousy internet bandwidth management by the players.

Sorry if this is getting off topic, but I still call BS on this 100ms thing

Some people even do this when we play on a french server as long as it is not their own, which is kinda weird and unacceptable. Have only seen it from kinda bad teams till now, but the possiblity is there which is a shame

Look wabbi ,

This screen was take on a paragon elite server http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?i ... Shot26.jpg

Just for information i was in , without any stream , download or withou any program who can creat lag .( but i don't have fibre )

That is not BS wabbit, it depends if the serverowner has its server on a volume network contract or premium network contract.

The volume network peering to england/scotland is better than from Germany. (where our physical server also resides)

Thanks weerwolf, that changed my perspective on things.

BUMP!

I'm bored of guys who always says:"You are lagger", "Fix your net" when they see me playing from Latvia(Lettland,Lettonie) even despite the fact I've got much better connection than they.
Hylis said smth like :"We don't want people to blame laggers".

Question #1: Why the fck I have to always read flamings from those idiots from France or Germany(Belgium as well) even I have the same ping?
Question #2: Why we always have to change server when french players have ~100 pings on it and when we change server to a French my mate gets ~120 ping but we HAVE TO play there?

Suggestion #1: Make pings visible.
Suggestion #2: Nadeo have to create servers hosted in at least 5-7 countries over the europe.

P.S. I don't give a shit why you don't want to make it. You HAVE TO. I paid money to you and you have to do what I(Customer) except from you.
Thanks
