Title: High Ping builds
Post by: Sari on June 02, 2014, 08:43:32 pm
For some time now, I've been getting high ping and I'm wondering what is a good build for that. Any suggestions?

High-strength throwing lances: Aims in the rough direction of the enemies, throws a lance, nudges close enemies far away, loots throwing lance from the ground, repeats.

Arbalest: Camps & shoots. Runs away when enemies are close.

Lance cavalry: Kills unaware opponents, requires more map awareness and tactics than actual reaction and ping based skill.

Long Voulge: Holds S key and spams. Best to pick 18/24 for level 30, with 6 PS, 8 Athl and 3 WM, all WPF in poles.

These concepts work even when you play on Australian or Chinese servers.

My ping bounces around from 50-900.(I know crazy xD)

I've been playing lance cavalry and it's hard with my bouncing ping, I do like the throwing lance. I'm also thinking ha just to annoy those aimbot range that I hate. :3 *cough* NA 1 archers *cough*

Common reasons for bouncing pings:
- Antivirus software
- Steam updates
- Virus on your PC
- Enabled proxies
- Torrents in the autostart
- Something blocking W-LAN reception, even if you only moved your chair or put a new coat onto the wardrobe
- Powerlan bridge overheated, put the plugs regularly into the fridge for 5 minutes
- Network interface card full of dust and getting hot very fast

Any build can be good with big ping. No build is good with spiking ping.

That is plain crazy. Are you, mayhaps, on a shared wireless connection?

Lately on NA 1, my average ping is  +400 but at other times it stays around +100.

yes, I use wireless internet.

If you get 200+ ping consistently, don't bother with melee. 150-180, sure, you'll have a disadvantage, but it's playable. I'm an idiot and I play melee on NA with 230 ping. It's frustrating as hell.

You have to have your block up well and truly before your enemy's attack animation begins for blocks to actually work, so it becomes guesswork.

You can land kicks, but even if you attack directly after your kick has landed, the attack will be delayed and your enemy won't be stunned anymore by the time you start swinging.

The positional lag, oh boy. It completely fucks footwork and judging weapon reach. I am constantly swinging through people and getting hit by people that are attacking the air 2 meters in front of me. All you can really do is s key with a high damage, long reach weapon and hope your opponent is stupid enough to fall for a tactic that has been around since the first week of multi player warband. Feint spam might get you the odd kill too, but it's generally too risky as you can't cancel out of it in time to block an enemy's attack that's interrupting your feint routine.

Just forgot about the wireless; even I have a wired connection in the middle of nowhere on some shitty island aka Australia

I have high ping as well, around 150-250 ping on NA, I use heavy armor and high damaging weapons like the long bardiche. I typically play with a balanced build though, 20/18 at lvl 30. It works pretty well when my ping is around the 150's area. Just remember that you're not really where you think you are when you swing. So s-keying really isn't that effective and you have to lead your swings a bit more so you don't bounce.

18/21 21/21 or 24/15 pole or 2h.

Basically you just want to pike your time to strike. Except that you can't block and just work on manoeuvring and trying to think a couple steps ahead of the pack.

If it's spiking though there isn't a whole lot you can do. If it stays consistent you can deal with it to a certain level.
