Latency more than 130ms

[Krisom]

must suck to have 130ms wish i had it tho 350-450ms from australia to NA servers. reason i play on NA servers is i have alot of friends in NA that choose that server. i just learnt to premove for everything.

Oh man, must suck trying to premove everything and become dead weight to your team by the loss of damage, dispositions and much more. - Please, the whole "It sucks more to be me so you should handle it because I am PredictionMasterX and crippled by performance so there's nothing stopping you." argument simply doesn't work.
Sure people exaggerate a bit when they say 130ms is unplayable but they're absolutely right about it impacting performance when the majority are probably used to 50ms~.

You know what else is an exaggeration?

130ms is perfectly playable

130ms isn't perfectly playable by all means. Another one who thinks because they got a worse connection that other people should tolerate it. It's listed as an EU Server and at first I expected it to be an EU Server and if I knew before hand that the game's server were physically positioned in Canada I would have probably not had tried the game out.

You two on the other hand? Chose to roll on a NA server, we chose to roll on a EU server not a server that's thousands of miles away and across the sea.

130ms is fine. So long as you're not playing vs some guy with 30ms you're winning, and seeing as all the guys playing on EU servers will probably have same ping as you then there is no issue at all. There is tons of time to avoid telegraphed attacks.

If you can't play with a piddly 130ms ping then the problem is behind the keyboard aka you.

How true.

I've raided in WOW and LOTRO on NA servers with 'ping' times of at least 150 and at times 250 without any noticeable problems. People in NA and EU have been playing FFXI for nearly 10 years with whatever 'ping' times we get to Japan without ANY PROBLEM due to it.

I can play this game just fine with 130, the only problem I have is like that suffered even by JP players with 30 'ping' and that is the 300ms position update stupidity.

You are wrong in basics. If you talking about PVP then pings must be aggregated. Yours both 130-150ms becomes 300ms between you hit the button to when your opponent see your character animation and can start react. Plus server lag which triple the latency. In result we have about time lag in ~1 second, minimum.

The commitment of aussies to this thread is astounding. Unfortunately the premise of "I have it worse than you so you have no right o complain" is false and can't serve as an argument. You're playing the dog in the manger.

A petty jab and rather misfired. Do you perhaps understand what 'perfectly playable' entails and why the word 'perfectly' was emphasised? Did the poster you quoted complain about not being able to play the game? No, he instead pointed out that his experience is sub-par, which it obviously is beacuse the difference in responsiveness between 130ms and 30ms is typically massive. Especially since it's not really about constant 130ms, but about a value that fluctuates and gives an average of 130. If you never had a chance to play in low latency world, that's a shame, but not a legitimate reason to dismiss the complaints of players who expect higher standards.
