Hello all. There was a natural disaster some time back which disrupted undersea cables in Asian region due to which many games like eggwars, skywars have almost 0 Asia games and maps. While this is out of cubecraft's control, I think its a better Idea to try and decrease the ping from Asian players when they play on other regions. Being an Asian player myself (40-60ms in Asia), whenever I go to eggwars or skywars i find myself in a high ping situation. Being in high Ping pose signifcant challenges apart from the already good players in eggwars and skywars. I can list out some problems in being high ping below and will expand briefly on them:
-
High Latency causes Delayed Hit registration
-
High Ping causes less block placing registration
-
Other Players might feel they are against a cheater
-
false Sentinel bans
-
so basis the first point, when you are in foreign region, in my case I am at least 20 to 250 ms in eu and 300+ ms in na, my hit registration is straight up extremely bad. In most situations I get out pinged even if i click high cps (10 - 12) and tend to get comboed out of the map.
-
When you are about to fall into void and you want to clutch it with blocks you have, when you are in high ping the initial blockplacement wont most likely register causing all other blocks followed by it to disappear(ghost blocks) and it mostly ends up in you falling out of map again.
-
When you are at high ping, your knockback and your hit registration is delayed. so the opposing low ping or medium ping player might see it like anti-kb. and because your hit registration is delayed, your hits register on the opposing players with a delay and if they happen to be more than 5 blocks range (in their screen) it might seem like getting reached even though that's not the case.
-
Lastly the False Sentinel bans. I have gotten false banned twice, both were because i was in high ping. for some reason being in high ping and in pvp it triggers sentinel.
Thank you
