Again, max ping of 43ms. The worst kind of latency is the unpredictable kind that can't be compensated for. The reaction speed of a casual gamer will be somewhere near 180-250ms. If we take the upper bound, occasionally the casual gamer's input will take 17.2% longer to register.
- vel0city 4y agoSo if even 99.9999% of pings were <5ms, but one was 40ms, you'd define that link as a 40ms experience?
- jimmydorry 4y agoFor gaming, your experience is absolutely degraded by spikes in ping. A consistent 50ms latency is far better than a 5ms with the occasional >50ms latency.
- vel0city 4y agoSo yes, one packet a day at 50ms would be considered unplayable to you, even if 99.9999999999999% of the packets were <5ms, because it is the "occasional" 50ms latency. That's what you're arguing when looking at just the max value. Makes sense.
- jimmydorry 4y agoWe aren't talking once a day though. We are talking like once a minute or two, at least by the data you have provided.
