Playing on the West Coast on Emerald

[SquirrelMan]

Is the lag really that much less on Markov?

[Jaged]

not a bit, no.

o, cause they're always sayin to minimize lag by playin on the server closest to you, but Emerald's more fun

In a game with CSHD, as long as your ping isn't stupidly high, it doesn't really matter. I play on US servers with a ping around 200, I do fine.

markov needs more fighters, join our server!

[ChewyLSB]

My main is on the European server, and I ping aroudn 200. It's bearable, though,

[BadAsh]

I prefer Markov over Emerald simply because my ping on Markov is 30 and my ping on Emerald is 210 on average.

I notice a difference in that I don't get disconected or have as much packet loss on Markov.

[JetRaiden]

Im on east coast and I play Markov and occassionally Emerald. no difference to me.

Heh, the ping difference is tiny, and not nearly big enough to make up for the fact that Markov fighting is as exciting as Bob Dole's speeches .

I play on Emerald from the west coast, and it's fine for me (100 ping usually, compared to 50 on markov and 200 on werner).

[Vis Armata]

I get an average ping of 90 on Markov, but I play on Emerald (160 average). A higher ping is not as much of a gamebreaker as it would be in faster twitch games, though.

It all depends where you are. It makes sense that East Coast players like myself are going to get a consistent 30-50 ping. But I have alt's on markov and werner and i find both to be less laggy, and also less exciting for that matter. I guess frame-rate is a different issue...

Your ping will be lower but your overall gameplay won't be affected much.

I play on Markov from the UK with a ping of 170 and to be honest, it's only a problem once in a while (which you have to expect). Play with a 170 ping in many other games and it just isn't funny.
