What is a pretty good ping number? - To be not laggy

[Elena]

Well, tell me...

[Orlando0]

One?

Actually if all players have the same or almost the same ping ,there shouldn't be much lagging.

Or so I heard

I'm inclined to believe you are unknowingly referring to port numbers...

No...I think it's the other way around,if you do have LAG on your screen,ur lagging ???

mines usually very low

[pip99]

Well it depends if you host or not

in my host my ping is usually 6 or 10 though it ranges form 1 -about 25 max...

but when i join peoples games it can go up 2 300 etc..

[Dreadlocks]

You know, I get alot of ping when I play Pinball LOL

get it, cause the pinball makes alot of ping sounds when it hits the ping things and it makes alot of pings and...........um you what forget what I just said and don't repeat it ever again in your life time. But anyway, when I join games and get 500 ping they seem to work fine, it's just when I hit the person, it takes 5-10 secs to react to the collision LOL.

[Orlando0]

Pinball heh...

Right.

Ping is supposedly a "measurement" of the amount of time it takes for it to receive and send signals. The higher the ping the longer it takes. So in a way,If 2 people have equal or close ping, it makes the computers send and receiver signals at nearly the same time, resulting in less lag(There will be some, but not as much).

ya u can say that!!

[wolvamat]

and the point of posting that was?

anyway to answer ur question anything under 300 is pretty good... :D

[Nferno666]

anything below 300 should be good enough..400-700 decent and anything over 1,000 is no good :biggrin
