I had to drop out of a game Sunday night because the lag was so bad.  I try not to be a quitter, regardless of the odds or situation, but I was a liability to the team.  988 ping.  Completely unplayable.

I'm in rural NV on a DSL connection, and was on the West Coast servers.

Anybody else lagging this hard?

And a follow-up question:  What does it look like to other pilots when I'm standing there, lagging away?  Am I boosting sideways into walls at random, firing at nothing, and just taking the hits?

Best,
JBR

Don't shoot the messenger, but a clanmate tells me he lagged, once, so hard that he got 1024 ping.  I thought games usually capped the value to 999.  <_<

Whatever the case, it was awful.  I believe he was in the US trying to connect to an Aussie(?) server.  He'll probably see this and correct me, anywho. XD

I'm not sure about how I look like to other players when I lag, but when others do I generally see them walk/boost in a suspiciously straight line, usually until they begin moonwalking into a wall, before teleporting to some random location with bullets bursting out of what seems like thin-air.

It's trippy balls.

There is noticeable delay to nearly every action. Every now and then you explode for no reason because that missile you thought was a metre to your left actually hit you in the face. Don't ever try to dodge then fire from behind a wall because the order got confused and you just exploded yourself.

It looks jittery to us.

Connecting to US servers from Aus is horrible. Better since Beta 2 but no comparison to local servers.

I had up to 1200 ms of ping at one point (way back in alpha2), before my girlfriend realized she left her torrents running.
