Testing fast response time server (Quick_Response)

  I'm testing an idea on the Quick_Response server, which will be up from time to time. The idea is to equalize the response time for high and low ping players to even the playing field, using some custom settings. This server will only be visible in the console list, so if anyone wants to check it out, please join it that way.

  @Lycor what do you mean 'no'? lol That's a vague and non-specific reply....

  I agree with "No" :) If one player has 400 ms ping and I have 10.. then what? I will have much worse game latency? Noooo. And I don't believe in communism ;) But I guess we can try it

  seems like you assume alot, just remember: assume = to make an 'ass' out of 'u' and 'me'. I guess we all learn the hard way...

  Not assuming, but you do say "equalize the response time". How do you equalize a fast response time without making it slower? ;) But I'm interested to see your idea, not bashing it

  Hmm... Actually the idea we have never thought about here in the network. But sure, in terms of USA servers with European players (ping is still not such a huge problem)... - this can be interesting experiment. Like PINGs unification. Of course wouldn't be enough for Australian or New Zeland players, the difference is too big. But sure - worth trying as experimental project. I have no idea how it would work though. But seems like some theoretical solution for distant servers. Practially ? No idea. Test that out. By the way - I'd like to see an idea how to unify time zones - so all people would be able to play at the same time, no matter the differences between time of the day in certaing parts of the world in the same moment. As far as we know Einsteinian time bending is 100% science fiction and propaganda BS - but theoretically this would solve even time zones problem. Just a theoretical thought - but programmers can do magic sometimes and make theory become reality. As some say miracles happen. Who knows.

  Well of course no one can break the laws of physics, but I'm trying something that might 'cheat' things a bit to make it seem like there is a faster response time. Not 100% sure if it will work, its just an experiment

  "Cheat things". Good that you are very familiar with such "things". You beat about the bush, although you are knowing that there is no way to provide a ping <100 from US to Europe. The latency is and remains too high, just get it.
