Bryarpistol Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 Is 130 through 180 an acceptable ping to play JK2 with sabers? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapitalB Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 hmm not sure, I'm usually getting around a 40-60. You on 56K? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamrock Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 I get pings of 60-100 on my cable modem and i can say it isn't as easy to kill a human as against the bots. Maybe i need to go on better servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryarpistol Posted March 27, 2002 Author Share Posted March 27, 2002 I have a slow (512/256) ADSL, and most servers are in other countries. The ones in my country (Spain) normally get 80 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyOneCanoli Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 Sure, it's acceptable. 180 isn't a great ping for a broadband user, but it will get the job done. It depends a lot on the server, too. My cable will be getting about 120 on average servers, which is more than fast enough to compete on the Q3 netcode. I'd say anything under 250 is manageable, speaking from my 28.8k and 56k background. Others that have been spoiled with broadband for years may say that 120 is too high for them. There's a lot of preference involved. Enough rambling. That ping will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobDude Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 Obviously, hope for the lower ping. 100-180 is okay, but you probably don't want to get it any higher then that. Just look for the games with the lowest pings in the category you want and you should be okay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanor Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 That should be fine... I'm on a 56k modem, and played lastnight. I lowered my rate to 3000 in the console, and that dropped my ping down to 200-250 range. On a friends cable modem, the game was basicly lag free in our saber fights. I had a bit of a slow down a few times, but it happed like 2 or 3 times in a 20 min game, and only lasted a sec or two. After JK, playing JK2 is a dream come true for a saberest lag wise. I mean, in JK2, I can swing and honest expect to hit based on where the other persons model shows up on my screen. Unlike in JK, where I tipicaly had to email him a few days in advance that I was going to swing now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
