Discussion: 50 - 60 latency cap. Read this ubisoft. | Forums

300 is way too high of a benchmark, 60 is way too low. Somewhere around 100-120 would be acceptable. Even better would be a ping slider option in the menu where each player can set how much leeway they want with latency versus a wider pool of players to matchmake with.

If you can't fix the latency issues, then i do not know what you still have in store for this game. We are almost in year 4 of this game.... People have paid for the game or obtained it for free. Do not think that you can just create stuff for this game and ignore the problems. That's just not morally and ethically right. There are even laws that forbids this kind of actions.

Sir, do you have any idea how high your ping was?
Uhh 61ms?
Book em!

Let me ask you a question: Do you believe a videogame should be fun and have fair gameplay? If you answer yes to this question, then I have to say that i don't see neither of these things in your game. Many competitive players, many streamers such as Daddy_Law_69, Clutchmeister, Macgeiler, Lolichul, Faraam,... are asking for a latency cap of 50-60 in this game aswell. Even the famous Freeze, who made many videos about the game and balancing, finds the current latency cap of 300 ridiculous. If you are asking for proof of latency issues, let me tell you this: open twitch.tv, click on a streamer and watch his/her VOD. There is proof enough for you to dig in and analyze the so-called data you all love.

In conclusion, before you look further into balancing the heroes and add new contents, work first on the next:
- Introduce a 50 - 60 latency cap. If someone has a higher latency then that, he/she is kicked out of the game

Ridiculous. You tried to infer that Ubisoft is going to run into legal trouble because people paid for the game and might have a suboptimal experience due to latency that's out of their control, yet your solution is to make it so that people without a good enough connection can't play the game they paid for at all. That makes no sense at all.

And 60ms isn't even that bad, to begin with.

- Introduce region lock. Why should Europeans face Americans, Asians, Arabians and Australians with latencies over 100 and vice versa? That doesn't make sence? There are so many games where region lock is introduced and people can enjoy playing the game by fighting against other players with decent latency.

Because people have friends that aren't in the same region as them. A novel concept, I know.

I know people will come up with the excuse such as "There arent enough players in FH, why introduce a latency cap?" or "There aren't any people playing in my regions, so i move to the other continents and face other players. This way I can win games with my latency". You make take those complaints to this website: https://www.reddit.com/r/forhonor/

Yes,the website where many people cry and complain about everything instead of thinking straight and training themself in getting better at the game. I'm also still astonished that you are ignoring the complaints of latency issues until now, and I wonder if you will keep this up for many years to come? Will you also finally take actions in banning lagswitchers and latencyabuers in year 4? Or are you just going to ignore that too?

Ubisoft has little control over latency. At best they could adjust the netcode so that the negative consequences of latency only affect the player with the lesser connection.

I'm currently playing in 4v4 and one Kensei has ping between 30 and 150. Literally people gave up fighting him. His attacks are invisible. One moment I'm fine next moment I got GBed. What do they expect me to do?

This is a perfect example of the real problem. I don't play if my ping ticks higher than 80 regularly because I know I'm not going to do anything but die. When players are doing this it's blatant cheating and needs to be addressed.

lmao u still complaining about "highlander" beating u with lagswitch xD

[Bye_For_Honor]

Thats not fair to all players

i'm from middle east , iam arabian and my ping is from 40-60 on a normal day sometimes go higher in a bad day
but that not my internets fault its ubi soft fault , i have a monster internet my speed is 300mb with 60 upload speed with ping less than 5

and even if i tried getting better internet than that ill still have the same ping
its not my fault or anyone from any country in the world who is playing a game with no local server

if there was a middle east server my ping wouldnt go higher than 10 but there isnt
and i still wanna play the game what should i do ?

your answer to this problem by kicking those player who have over 40 ping will kill man of the player base

making more servers for the game is the real answer

it doesnt have to be always bad internet you know

Highping Player is the dead of this Game, go out of this Game.

And i dont understand why i must play whit Guys from centrumeast , i stay in the center of Europ. WtF ubi****

[F0D0K]

Im from Brazil, and i agree with latency cap 80 - 100, yesterday i got a guy from Argentina, using lag swith his average ping 50 - 267 ms using shugoki, were necessary 4 to kill him, when in BR server my ping is 15ms uruguai , arg servers 30 - 45, but the players plays with 80ms +, u know that u will die

[Herbstlicht]

I am convinced still that giving the option to choose your maximum latency between like 30 and unlimited wild be best. Its choice. People could decide between waiting longer or better performance games.

I can't even see anything wrong. Most players that care about match quality will be happier then now. Those that don't would face higher queue times rather likely, but even for them, the quality of the matches would improve.
