What is a pretty good ping number? - To be not laggy - Page 2

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.

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).
