Re: Am I at disadvantage for living further away from Respawn Servers?

@DarthValtrex Thank you for kind words, making me feel better about myself 😂

@NolanGraysonnn n/p you also kind of need teammates who are not that great.. when you play with good teammates they often help you kill enemy squads which is great, but that reduces the damage you can do.

@DoYaSeeMe I'm fairly confident what's happening there is that you're shooting someone who's no longer there on the servers end. Basically the animation you see is old compared to what's going on at the server.. Thus it looks like it hits but you get no-reg.

@DarthValtrex The frustration came only because I've never hit so many consecutive Wingman shots like ever. I do know very well how no regs happen, actually calculated that there's an offset like 0.7m for each 100ms of delay, considering normal Apex running speed. Now imagine 600ms and the target being a Bloodhound on ult 🙂

By the way, I tried NY servers a couple of times, out of curiosity. The game felt definitely playable even at 200ms ping. There were some no regs and damage received behind corners, sure, but I managed to adjust my play for high lag and it was ok in the end. Not all playstyles work with high lag (sniping is pain, doorplay is suicide) but otherwise the experience can be decent. 4Ks are harder than usual because of the higher no reg percentage.

I have a theory regarding the more distant servers offering a more stable , although laggy connection. I think the data transfer gets normalized if more hops and routes are available (more buffering and less bottlenecking). Still, it's a hard compromise to give up reaction time for more stability.

@DoYaSeeMe I think you're spot on. I can't handle the lag at all. I'm very much a mobility player. I'm all over the place when I'm in the midst of the fight. having any delay in any function is just death for me. When my movement is solid and on point enemies have a very difficult time killing me. When it's not, I just get downed like I'm a noob. I'm also the type who will continue to snipe at you until you get me down to about 25HP-50HP depending what you're shooting me with. When there is lag, I end up getting knocked frequently because of the delays..
