What makes you lack tick?

We finally get a response to servers and an open discussion for improvements to be made but the thread is quiet with everyone talking about butt cheeks and skins? Keep pushing or roll on your backs ...

@apostolateofDOOM Yes. even if there is the same number of players per allocated server cpu core, there will be less combinations possible. 10 3v3 matches can't produce the same crazy amount of combinations like one 60 player br.

This can cut both ways though, like cramming more players per server than for BR's.

@DoYaSeeMe Let's hope they choose to go for performance instead of cramming more into the same space but i think i know which one they'll do.

Like to be proved wrong though...

@apostolateofDOOM Edited my previous reply, a big chunk disappeared, like a no reg 🙂. Pretty weird that a * was showing instead...

Anyway, must add the fact that most games refer to the client update rate when talking about tick rate. A game that advertises 128Hz but supports consoles that can't take more than 60Hz, is unlikely to have server snapshots sent at 128HZ, because it would mean that players on 60Hz capped devices would miss a lot of critical updates, which would lead to awful desync, logical failures, crashes.

  @DoYaSeeMeOf course you get no reg, the forum is on EA servers after all. :P
  
  I've always talked about tick rate on server, not client side. Taking the world state and updating clients at that rate but never knew about packet splitting or how that works ect for larger updates in games until very recently.
  
  Also aren't clients variable so if you're on a 128hz server and playing on console it would just cap and send/receive updates at 60? I don't know how that works with crossplay for example and i don't play console but most people nowadays will play at 60fps on PC as that has been the bare minimum for shooters for a very very long time and we're at 360 refresh times now... Also, how would that work on a potato PC that could only run Apex at 15fps? Would that crash it then?
  
  Anyway, i'm aiming for improvements that would benefit those that don't need to upgrade their rig. Next gen consoles would benefit from this too.

    @apostolateofDOOM I played a lot more ranked this season.
    The reasons were :
    Helping out yt get to plat, not carrying him btw 🥳
    Ranked olympus made pub olympus much less exciting to play, so I would play ranked when olympus came up in pub rotation.
    The rotation of kc also made pub olympus less exciting.
    The short rotation times with kc annoyed me too.
    Played very little in the ltm's, instead played ranked.
    I'm hoping that arena will shift the Happy Hooray Hotdrop Henry's to that location and make for a better tactical game in pubs in s9 and perhaps less lag in pubs too.
    Ps my WiFi pole is way more than 300m from the house.
    PPS life is both push and pull, too and frow 😉
