Should we run a High Pink Kicker?

[ZJbrandon]

This seems highly controversial, with evidence seeming to support both sides, however from my research a little more suggests that high pingers do indeed introduce a less enjoyable experience, largely do to BF4's supposed in game "lag compensation"

Please post here whether you think we should or shouldn't, I am considering a test period of a kicker to see if the server has a better experience, or if this hype is all bullshit excuses.

Bigger question you may run into.....what is that limit? I haven't really notice any over 200 but to be blunt i never pay attention to pings except my own for when i am laggy. I am thinking I may take a few vid cards out to test harry's idea.

then foreign players won't be able to join game though. maybe do what gsxr said and set it to kick at like 180-200 in cases of really high ping

[ZJbrandon]

yeah, i was thinking somewhere in the area of 150-160 as a limit.
it could indeed keep some overseas players from joining which sucks, however IF it makes the server play better (better hitreg, less wtf shots behind walls, etc) it might be worth the sacrifice.

keep the opinions flowing, guys!

Whats a ping kicker?

I want to be able to play on the Tits and Taps server in the future, it's basically why I got BF4 in the first place, so that I can play with you guys.

if you think of it, zoomy, can you check your pings in game, and let me know what your average is.

I vote YES for ping kicker!
On my own servers in the past, I set the max to around 200. Depending on the regulars, sometimes the limit was as low as 150.
But I was also the guy that ran servers with level limits and accuracy limits.

Hello Yuda,

Do we know you from in game? Seems like you know some of our members/non-clan mates =)

Thanks for visiting our website and suggesting tips!

I would hope so. Yudabomb is the name. It's my fault that Brandon and Puffy's K/D is improving.

Things you can say about your car, but not your girlfriend:

"Hm.. I think I can fit five people in here!"

Also, your car doesn't get upset when you test drive another car.
