Strat pings

[Noble Crassius]

We all hate fighting on the other continents servers in strat battles and as such, I was wondering if it was possible to make strat servers pings latent?

We all know theres a huge difference when a person with a latency of 40 and when a person with say 150 latency meets in combat, thus half the mods population isn't as effective in strat battles as they could be. However when two people both have latency of 150 it's barley noticeable. Can we just set strat servers to where users can't have a ping under 100/150? this should help with the Continental divide. Much better than having two separate strat maps imo.

I know in war3 host bots can have their latency set just wondering if its possible in crpg.
If this isn't possible then disregard  .

Scenario:

NA Clan leader: My whole clan is NA, and we're launching an offensive on the enemy.
EU Clan leader: My whole clan is EU, and we're defending from an offensive. We have the upper hand.
NA Clan leader: None of my clan can play these battles, therefore we have to hire random mercenaries.
EU Clan leader: LOL SUX 4 U.
NA Clan leader: RAYJE POAST ON FURuMZ!

Its no fun to play with high ping. For anyone. So your suggestion is, because some people have no fun, no one is allowed to have fun? :/

My vote goes to a seperate NA continent, both continents are connected via ships

Scenario:

NA Clan leader: My whole clan is NA, and we're launching an offensive on the enemy.
EU Clan leader: My whole clan is EU, and we're defending from an offensive. We all have equal pings.
NA Clan leader: All of my clan can play these battles, therefore we don't have to hire random mercenaries.
EU Clan leader: Lol lets have a nice fight.
NA Clan leader: Nice post on forums about losing/winning in an equal fight!

Don't think you quite get what I'm saying so I fixed it for you. What I'm suggesting would FIX what you just said would happen can you not read?

Leiknir that idea sounds quite ridicouluse - and since their connected wouldn't change a thing, just adding more land.. I doubt chadz would ever implement such an eye sore of an idea  you would rather have separate maps then have a slight delay? I guess it's all a matter of opinion.

[Leiknir]

I think you didnt understand me either. A NA continent on wich all battles are on the NA server, no choice. Same for the EU continent. If Na players want to do something on the EU continent, they have to deal with the ping, and vice versa.
The current map is too small for the ammount of players, so this would give us more land and no one will be forced to play without fun (= high ping)

The few intercontinental factions like fallens could just take coastal regions, jumping between EU land and NA land how they want

[Noble Crassius]

Meh sounds like a hot fix without addressing the problem. How could I understand you when you didn't even explain anything in that short sentence? I guess I'm expected to read minds now lol.

[Leiknir]

Why? There is the playerbase to sustain 2 continents. Everyone will be able to play with good ping, except the few who want to invade the other continent.

[Noble Crassius]

Then the battles stop there, clans take their continents..continent.. then sit forever building up armies because the first to attack is screwed..Sounds like the foundation for a cold war, I'll start stockpiling my nukes asap I suggest you do the same

[Leiknir]

Well, I don't see ATS and LLJK liking each other much, so I doubt there will be a unified NA continent soon. And with all that fighting between the mostly eu clans, I doubt there will be ever any pax calradia here, too.

But yes, the other continent is the endboss of strategus

[Noble Crassius]

 PWZ ATS would rofl stomp LLJK  . But any who I'm done with this theoretical debate because I'm 99% sure this idea won't be implemented (I saved the 1% for if I'm wrong hehe).

I put out this idea to promote balance between the continents even if it means making some pings higher, I would think balance was worth it. We would no longer see clans like ATS trying to recruit euro's (how's that working out? ) to even try and attempted an invasion..they would be able to just do it. All in all you sacrifice what 100ms? so that every body is on the same page. But if your EU ping advantage is that important to you...
