So your decision is permanently block us..
No my decision is based on changing circumstances. This rule is activated and disabled manually, saturday we had a pretty decent occupied server.. For quite some time it was absolutely packed so there is no reason to think to allow connections with a higher risk.
Sunday I simply forgot about it but it seems less important because it was a GT2 only day. And today, normally is a very pretty popular day also.
I'm thinking about an automatic switch to disable connections from some continents during peak hours. That should be possible, I just don't want to pull the plug of somebody who already is busy racing.
i have 250ms of ping still i have really stable connection, and you know i really try to drive as clean as posible.
I know but 250ms still is very high. I see some people making arguments that its not that bad but when somebody from Russia with a ping of 120 ms is hitting the brakes you will start to see those brake lights in 370 ms which is a whopping 0.37 seconds. Nowhere in the world that anyone is possible to react on that. Especially with multiclass racing where people also drive on top of this with completely different style of cars / grip levels / brake points. But also within the same class a difference of 0.37 sec is a lot. Also when somebody is deciding to make a sudden move to the left or right the same amount of delay comes into effect.
This blocking idea didn't fall out of the sky you know. Its not that I woke up one day thinking by myself how to annoy people. You all know that I rarely race and when I'm at the servers most of the time, I only monitor stuff. With the new pinglist it became very easy for me to predict where problems start to occur... And guess what, I almost always was right. I can make a gambling game of it.
Last sunday (so not this one). I spend three... THREE hours... Discussing with various people from Europe that they needed to fix their connection. I'm getting pretty much done with poor connections
.
cargame is the only s2 server that offer multiclass races
Bit weird because you know sat+sun+mon there is no multiclass being offered
You was not online anymore for the past several months, how can I know that this sudden boost of interest is going to stay anyway?
