PING

by **eldawg51** » Mon May 07, 2012 11:40 am

There is nobody in, is it lagging this bad because they're working on the website?

I'm at 90ms normal speed. Lag spikes of over 30k ms sometimes seems a bit ridiculous when there's absolutely nobody in.

yo what hack you got there at allows you to check the ping?

I don't know why these biweekly Lag Days show up. I could personally do without them.

F6 is the ping, they just added it along with F8 precision scoping or whatever they call it.

They have to be working on the site. I kept getting an internal service error when I would try to refresh the page.

nice, i'm getting 35ms or 36ms

Holy crap, is your connection on roids? Fastest I've seen was 20 on a T3 connection, man that was nice. 110 was my old dial up ping and right now it's at 90 so not much better.

by **megaGOD** » Mon May 07, 2012 12:50 pm

nah my connection is avg i would think.

i remember my old dial up got like 300 ping
then got dsl and would get around 90-130
cable internet right now.

i'm sure my speed is pretty avg now.

You think? So 90 is molasses then. I remember Luke would ping at 15-30 back in the day. A few others were fortunate enough to have that kind of speed.

by **megaGOD** » Mon May 07, 2012 1:33 pm

yay just got one at 29! but mostly 30-40 for me

I think the server needs refreshed every so often.

And what is this f8 option?

by **Jay** » Tue May 08, 2012 2:03 am

F8 is for the players who are not pro enough to land and scope using the arrow buttons.

what's his name wrote:F8 is for the players who are not pro enough to land and scope using the arrow buttons.

I am going to practice using F8. It will come in handy. :poker:

what's his name, can you figure out when it would be good to use F8? :smart:

by **eldawg51** » Tue May 08, 2012 1:39 pm

I dont think I'll ever use F8. It takes too long to find the damn key and I have to use the Fn key with it. Won't ever be practical for me to use it.

My normal ping is in 20-25 depending on my wireless connection I get 15 at full wireless bars

wow, it was castles last night and now its desert again? fml

I think KonArtis is the only person who ever knew about F8 in BF. :laugh:

by **PRIDE** » Tue May 08, 2012 3:32 pm

F8 can be used in 3+ instances that I can think of that can actually save you a turn or two. Pretty specific stuff though

by **eldawg51** » Tue May 08, 2012 3:58 pm

I wish to learn, maybe I'll use it about as often as I use missiles.

by **PRIDE** » Tue May 08, 2012 4:03 pm

i dont think ive ever used missiles in this game before

by **coolkylemac** » Tue May 08, 2012 4:12 pm

dont missiles do 1.5x damage tho

by **eldawg51** » Tue May 08, 2012 4:26 pm

Interesting question, anybody know? I was under the impression homers=missiles=single shot referring to damage.

by **PRIDE** » Tue May 08, 2012 4:40 pm

no lol. did you know in utanks missliles only take away 1 shield at a time too?

by **Jay** » Wed May 09, 2012 1:39 am

Missiles and homings always dd that slight bit more damage. I used it to advantage in tourns when I have no duels at the end.

by **Devil-Spawn** » Wed May 09, 2012 4:41 pm

right now was ranging from 90, hit it 3-4 times, and 131-190....Layhame! :shrug:

to u low pingers :finger:

by **Jay** » Thu May 10, 2012 1:44 am

500-1000+ what I get for being so far from the damn server.
