Connection speed for Q3A: Tournament 2000 question

[Paradox]

I only have a 56k dialup here http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/frown.gif, and I noticed you are operating on the PST time zone... I'm on the east coast, will my pings be really bad?

[Leon]

It might be... Ping www.gotapex.com and see what kind of latency you get.

[definition]

I think 56k is sufficient for Q3A. But the lower the latency, the more to your advantage.

[DARTH]

Actually the GotApex? server is not the one being utilized so it is hard to say as we are using a third party server that is very stable.

[Pheer]

too bad.......... im on the east coast but i was still pinging 100 to gotapex server. can u post where the games will be played, im curious as to what my ping will be. Thanks.

[Paradox]

Yeah, i'm curious too... for www.gotapex.com I ping 202ms. Not TOO bad http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/smile.gif

well, the gotapex.com server is located in florida. i hope you east coast peeps have low pinsg to it .. mine are around 300 .. pretty pathetic because my cable modem sucks serious ass.

not necessarily......I know a guy on roadrunner cable modem with 60 ping and he sucks ass...hehehe

METHICAL,

Yes but lets say you have two person of equal skills. One on a 56k dial up and one on a T1. Who has the advantage? Of course the T1.

[tekhead]

WOW I got 98 from San Francisco! Sweet.

What servers will host the tournament?

[THX1138 [PHAT]]

Oh this is going to be fun........and yes 56k modems do have a chance, a bit of a small one though.......but the closer you are to the server da better.....

Its all about the ping, i know i am a lpb and it has helped me tremendously since i have got my new connection. not to say that hpb's are bad ive seen quite a few that can hold their own, but agains a severe latency defernce? comon

I'm all ping, and I don't care... I just think it's funny when people are lagging, and doing the "molasses walk of doom"... So freakin' funny! http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/smile.gif

hehe....I thought it was gonna be bad, but even with a 400ping, I actually got a few kills with the gauntlet. (after ammo was depleted)...and I need to find better cooling for my videocard http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/frown.gif
