yey more ideas
So a lot of people complain about ping, talk about ping, there's just so much involvement of ping in the community. I have had varying opinions about this topic over the past few years, but here's what I think about it right now.
Is ping a significant factor? Yes, like in any other game, ping gives you an advantage because you have the opportunity to respond to the server faster than other players.
How significant is it? Well, I don't know what it is, but MCSG seems to compensate for the OPness (hehe) of ping. I don't really think anyone should be complaining if they are able to get decent hits the majority of the time. You can compensate for your ping disadvantage if it's only a small one with rods, bows, and flamey fires. When it's a larger disadvantage, say 150, it's a lot harder to compensate for due to the unpredictability of the lag, and the simple gap of advantage between two players.
What should I do if I have bad ping? Well, at the end of the day, you're the one playing the server. If you're just gonna sit around moaning about how people are only better than you because they're, "pingers," all you're doing is causing unneeded drama and pissing everyone off. If you really feel like your ping isn't good enough to seriously play the server, play another server. In my experience, ping below 90 doesn't cause too bad of a disadvantage and ping below 60 is unnoticeable.
To sum it up, I don't think ping should be such a huge topic in the community. If you have ping bad enough that you think it's worth complaining about, don't play the server, or don't bother talking about it if you still enjoy the server. Yes, ping can influence the gameplay, but you're the one deciding whether or not to play, so make the right choice.
Opinions?
