This is gay....ALL LPB's can suck my ass. You guys are all SOOOO fucked when I get cable/DSL. No fuckin mercy. People talk about certain people on this board and throughout the UT community that are supposedly the "best". Everyone of these fucks is an LPB, except for LarrE and a select few others. What skill does it take to be good with a 85 ping? /me thinks that 90% of people that are considered "the best" are that way because of there connection. http://boards.ioerror.com/mad.gif http://boards.ioerror.com/mad.gif http://boards.ioerror.com/mad.gif I really don't care what ya'all think of me for posting this, You can think "Ahh, shit, the redneck is wiggin again..." /me gives a shit. /me sits back and waits for the flames to begin ------------------ A big http://smilecwm.tripod.com/dvv/boid.gif to 56K modems. |

no flames from me man...i had 56k for a while!!!! for real man, the only real difference is that ur reaction time and weapons actually firing when they're supposed to...i had to learn some new weapons when i became a lpb.... /me knows ur pain ------------------ http://smilecwm.tripod.com/ut2/Instagib.gif |
Well. I played $GB$The_other_guy with a better ping than him, and he fuckin raped me. Of course, I don't know if the $GB$ guys are still considered to be the best DMers... it was a while ago. I don't pay much attention to clans anymore. |
I went through it too.... it does suck laggin your ass off while getting sniped from the hip by some LPB.... But uh.... I guess you wouldn't wanna see this one, would ya?? http://boards.ioerror.com/tongue.gif http://www.geocities.com/kamikaze5624/jethroping.jpg ------------------ The guy formerly known as ManWhore. -ph34r +h3 h3rr1n9!! :) |
But I can still 0wn with twice that ping!! http://boards.ioerror.com/smile.gif http://www.geocities.com/kamikaze5624/totalownage.jpg But even with cable I can still get 56k pings.. http://www.geocities.com/kamikaze5624/highping.jpg ------------------ The guy formerly known as ManWhore. -ph34r +h3 h3rr1n9!! :) |
It's ok Jethro. |
I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a good player in UT... even with my low ping i get trounced by high pingers... but Quake II, you better look out... ------------------ It's all about the pudding. -~- 0J, Your Arrogant Neighborhood Basterd™. |

Actually man, my ping is normally down to about 50, and its not incredibly different from 250. I did get a bit better, but not much. And you all remember when my ping was 800+ on my old winmodem. Then I did sorta suck. I feel your pain, but I don't think it makes as much difference as you make it out to be. Having a good ping doesn't make you a good player. ------------------ http://www.angelfire.com/mi/Strebs/images/DolbySig2.gif [AxE]Dolby: your friendly neighborhood SpiderMan. |
Once again, the ping thing. Here's a couple of points. Ping is not everything and a good connection doesn't always mean a good ping. My connection ranges from 80-400 in many games. Yes it jumps all over the place. Where do you aim with an unstable ping? With dial-up, I believe you get a more stable ping and I've heard some people say that they'd keep their stability over a "Sometimes good" ping." Many of the best players play on a 56K modem. LarrE can own most anyone regardless of ping. Figure it out. I understand your grief at your ping; but, ping is only a factor and to say that you'd beat the others if you had their connection seems a little off to me. No disrespect intended. Perhaps when you get your LPB status you'll realize that it is still mostly about skills. ------------------ http://paulzplace.tripod.com/quest15.jpg I play deathmatch for fun. |
Yes, my pings to servers are usually between 150 and 250, despite my connection. Of course, I could play on my own server where I have a ping of 30, but I don't find doing that much fun at all. It's OK Jethro. You're a good player, despite the slow connection. |
Maybe it's me and I suck real bad, but when I am playing I can NEVER tell if a dude is on a 56K connection or a Cable/DSL. They all seem to play the same to me. For instance LarrE that dude doens't seem to play any different then Moose (I don't mean skill either) just saying that I cna't tell the difference. SO if your gonna bitch about all that pind shit they come play me. http://boards.ioerror.com/biggrin.gif ------------------ http://hotyellow98.com/vukodlak/utk1 |

damn right jethro |
whoever said "connection doesn't matter" you are full of shit! I'm over at a friends house now playing UT on @home Cable, I'll post details later! |
I agree..........its not the ping value(within reason, over 500 and it can be hard to play... http://boards.ioerror.com/biggrin.gif)...its more the stable ping that makes a difference(altho I dont know anyone who has what I would call a "stable" ping with a dialup). I remember my 56k days(yes, at one time I was even on AOHell, then to Worldnet and Earthlink) and my ping was all over hell...in fact, I got DSL because I wanted a stable ping, so now its in the 80-100 range all the time no matter how may people are in the game..unless the server is acting up or you get one of those weird "bandwidth suckers" that lags the server all to hell. So with a stable ping, I dont have to re-adjust my lead time and my hitscan weps(MiniGun, SniperRifle, ShockRifle, ect)are "point and shoot". Jethro is right tho....56K sucks Sucks SUCKS. I know I would never(by choice) go back to dialup. ------------------ http://clans.utworld.net/teamklaw/siggy.gif |
Hopefully, some day, ping will no longer matter. I wish it'd hurry tho.... ------------------ http://potluck45x.homestead.com/files/Utksig01.jpg |
In my opinion, 56k's are the better players. LPB's get everything easy whereas us 56k's have to fight hard to win and learn the art of shooting in front of players to hit them. No offense to anyone who has got cable/dsl etc though....I'm not saying that you are bad players.... |
it's true u can learn to play on either connection...in some cases it matters, in some it doesn't ------------------ http://smilecwm.tripod.com/ut2/Instagib.gif |
Alright. Anyone got any viable solutions? If it's not available in your area, then cable is out of the question. If it is, then put up the bucks. And I KNOW there are 56Kers posting LPB this and that when unwilling to fork out the cash. I don't know what the solutions are. Satellite perhaps but again ya gotta dig deep. Phone line sucks. Period. |
Well Potluck, I can tell you without a doubt that I AM NOT one of those that is whining about shit, and not willing to pay for Cable/DSL ect...I would pay $100+ a month if it were available to me. The really gay thing about living in barracks is that you can get Digital cable but not cable internet service. How gay is that? http://boards.ioerror.com/mad.gif ------------------ A big http://smilecwm.tripod.com/dvv/boid.gif to LPB's. |
Man, being in the military has gotten you saying "gay" a lot, you sure you're not being influenced? http://boards.ioerror.com/biggrin.gif |
