Just another reason why I'm thankful to be a part of Edge Gamers

[The Shape]

I just wandered into a random server to try out a different map. After being there for not even a minute I was kicked because of "high ping". My ping was 105....

So yeah, I love eGO!!

 

[kdub wB]

HAHA yeah I really dislike the other servers and there admin. The admins think that they are all HARD just from the power they have on a server. Especially when I get into a server and there is instant mic spam, and I tell them to shut it. Immediately they say "Hey you better reconize whose running this server." *Instant Ban* . And that is why EGO is better than the rest.

Right you are, thats why we have 10,000 members while they still have 1000. eGO is the place to go.

Quoted for truth.

 

[Insurge]

lol yeah, I get kicked everywhere because for around 30 seconds my ping goes to 300 (bad internet ) and I always get kicked on other servers.

 

[Sonec]

That's crazy. 105 isn't high at all...

But I agree. I like how eGO servers don't make you download a bunch of mp3s and wavs. It seems like every time I try to visit a random CS server I have to wait 10 minutes just to get all the bells and whistles.

I've been on a CS:S server once. my ping was 120... It was a zombie server, you know a few CTs vs 16+ Zombie bots that took forever to kill, anyway one of the CTs was telling me to leave my ping is too high, it causes lag... I said no, it doesn't, 120 isn't a high ping anyway, of course he said that wasn't up to me and then banned me... Back with games like MoH Allied Assault, yes a couple high pings might affect everyone's game...

Half-life (and all associated engines: q2, q3a, hl2, hl, etc) do something entirely different: the server and clients agree on a shared, latency-adjusted idea of time. Each client timestamps their commands ('i shot over there at 1:31pm and 23.2 seconds') and the server then rolls back its view of the world to that time and sees if it the shots hit. In this way, people with high latency get a better game experience at the expense of those with lower latency. Those low pingers can now be well away from a confrontation when the server decides that the high pinger did, actually, kill you. Then you drop dead, seemingly at random. (You know, when you duck back behind a corner, Then get shot from when you rounded it)

In short, High Ping players do not cause lag to low ping players, but something that does: That ammo pile that often stacks up at Donner, when there are 50 or so boxes in there, and someone tosses theirs in, they all Nudge a bit (Physics!) and when they all shift for a second, it causes lag (I've seen this a million times in Garry's Mod) I brought the idea up that the lag might be caused by that yesterday, and when we stopped tossing them in and picked them up, the lag never reappeared, Just something to look into

I mostly play in the eGO servers unless they are full then i go to a different server. And get kicked of high ping to like 100.

 

[2di4u]

I always try to play on eGo servers because :
a) the quality of players is superior
b) there are always admins around ready and willing to help
c) you don't have the hassles of dealing with rude and/or immature players because they get kicked quickly
d) IT IS A BLAST!!!!

 

[!Woodstock!]

Yeah, I like getting kicked for high pings of around 100.

 

[Soupy]

I never play on any other servers but eGO server unless we go on a Road Trip...The last TF2 Road Trip was a blast...I'll bring the chips and salsa lets go on another Road Trippppppppp

 

[Paraplegic_Ballerina]

Ugh thats like last night I was trying to find an arena server and this particular one has a rule you can't be in spectate for more than 5 minutes. The kicker was there weren't any other players so I picked my class and it wouldn't let me start the game after my friend joined. It was lame. Again like everyone else says the maturity and admins and players are to good to stray away from home.

 

[Squirrel Master]

I once got kicked from a server because there was this loud mouth shooting orders to our team, and i didnt listen and did my own thing. He toldd me he was an admin and if I didnt listen to where to put my dispenser and sentry id be kicked, of course didnt listen to him, and instead he banned me. So i just went back to eGO servers and set up where ever the hell I wanted. love you guys.

I like the eGO servers because when I do wonder off somewhere else, all I hear is swearing and bashing. Here I can have fun.

 

[-Swifty-]

lol i was banned from 3 servers Reason : Clan tag. I cant stand people who just doesnt like to play. I cant play on the Server cause of my clan tag. Ego Servers are the Best. Gives everyone one a chance no matter how good or how young ;everyone can play
