VonFinklestein Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 Obviously lower is better, but I was wondering what would be the maximum amount of ms I could get away with. I've gotten wildly different opinion from different sources, and hoped I could get a proper discourse going here.
Wesgile Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 depends on your own preferences imho. would you still be comfortable seeing things at a 0.1 seconds delay, or having your actions delayed from the time you press the keys by 0.2 seconds, or such. personally though, less than 50ms is ideal, less than 100ms is good, less than 200ms is bearable, more would be "not fun".
noodlehaus Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 on WZs, I still manage to get medals (top 3 or 5) with my 180~230ms latency. i'm playing from AP on a West Coast server (cos my ping is ~400ms on AP servers). but that's just casual WZs. in competitive arena (wow), the ping is quite a big help (who gets the opener on stealth vs stealth fights). i must say though that the lack of auto-attack makes swtor combat look rough and segmented.
