personally i cant stand high pingers who warp all over the place, making them impossible to hit…makes scouts extremely difficult to hit.

on the other hand, if they’ve got a high ping and they aren’t warping and its stable; it makes no difference so i dont really care.

there’s allot more to it than you’ve got a high ping so im not playing against you!!

My experience is that Havok for example has quite a stable ping. But Israeli and Russian internet seems to be so incredibly shit :X.

it’s not about americans having high ping… it’s if they have unstable/warpy ping i.e. as i mentioned in my first post:

– If a 30 ping player has 100 ping.. they are lagging.
– Americans that are supposed to have 100 ping and have 100 ping – don’t lag

DarK.

I dont normally have much issue with 100 ping players. Except russians! I swear they have 3x HP.

its more sad the fact of taking clanned players having own members spectating than the fact of playing with 100+ ping players :>

It is too hard to find non clanned, experienced and talented players who are based in Europe.

So it might be hard, but how do you think the community is gonna grow when all top teams just cba searching for a high potential div2 player and start finding high skilled players across the pond. i dont know where you come from renegade, but like most of us, we got picked up at some point, this wouldnt have happened if top tier teams were only lookin for high skilled US players. gj wp

I think it’s a bit gay tbh! Fair enough if you are short once in a while and you get someone on your roster to jump in now and again but playing against 3-4 players with 100+ ping getting shot round corners when there is no one on your screen etc is just annoying.

Nub when did you start pinging 120 btw?

Not enough good players to fill the spots? There are plenty of people out there that are good enough for Div1. Daf, Nos, Cook, nvc, shitfly etc. Whatever happened to Matt?

Those are just a few I can name off the top of my head I’m sure there are alot of others with potential to play in div1, if you don’t want to put the time and effort in to doing that then that’s your problem but saying that there isn’t enough people to recruit is just not true.

This gap between division 1 and division 2 that everyone talks about:

I 100% agree there is a large skill gap between a division 1 TEAM and a division 2 TEAM

The individual skill level between a low div1 player and a high div2 player is marginal and in many cases non-existent.

Place a low div1 player in a high div2 team and you will hardly notice the difference
Place a high div2 player in a low div1 team and you will hardly notice the difference

I wouldn’t let this over-exaggerated barrier put you off recruiting new players from a lower division

I find kinda odd/silly/meeeh to have american players on your roster when it’s just a sideproject/hobby for them. Their real clans are their NA clans. If for example seagull and pure quit 20id and coL to play 100% for imperial, I wouldnt even bother to type this.

But yes p32 and Matt are still on your roster and p32 could have played yesterday. So…support your own scene and cultivate em european players (or make em yanks play 100% euro) :)

oh and nvc, you’re not in diggy because we’d be too good then. Got to give the others a fair chance :<

There should be some kind of function to force people to read certain posts before they can post, in this case, “YES – I’ve read and understood Acidrenix post on the first page and I still wish to post regarding …”.

We’ve dealt with this “problem” for the past decade in the Fortress community. I suggest we do as it has been done in QWTF, Q3F, ETF and lastly and most relevant (due to it being a derivative of the CRAP netcode from Valve used today), TFC.

Problem solved. Whine less, play more.

matt and p32 were in the stv, that was the main reason for us not allow them to use mercs

WiK?

You can see stv from ingame now?!

Plus who gives a fuck. It’s pretty lame to use a bunch of US all stars but enforcing a rule against it would be far lamer to be honest.

its called steamfriends! :p

We havent played with 32 properly in about 3 months.

We have been playing with pyour and seagull for over a week now, and that is our newest main lineup. You cant expect us to use the players you want us to use, and even then we were prepared to use 32 when you got bored of waiting.

Whether we take Matt or Seagull is up to us and not the community if the rules are in place to accomadate them.

And ill say it again if people fail to read posts older than an hour, or longer than a sentence… We cant spend months working new players up to a div1 standard if, as has been shown, they either wont be good enough, or will leave for something better. Gz to you if your players stick around like me nub and beast have for a year and a half.
