@CyberDymeI'm speculating here, but i *really* doubt we won't be able to see pings.
It's useful for people to find out if they've been shunted to a server "too far" away as much as it's useful to find out if someone you play with has a high ping.
I've been dropped into quickplay servers a few times where i've noticed lag and seen my own ping is 120+ and left for my own sake as much as anyone else's.
Hi @Fringerunner ,
You have maybe been able to look up and see your own personal connectivity specs to a given server. But aka on the consoles we have had zero access to see the ping of other players in the game.
And many other players do unfortunately not have the same level of curtesy as you describe here. On the contrary, they even on purpose seek to connect with servers far out of their own region, to benefit from their extreme pings. So on consoles we see frequently players with pings above the 200 milli seconds mark. Even up to 800-1,400 is not uncommon. Needless to say that they bring the server and the gameplay to it's knees...

@CyberDyme Ah, fair enough, i'm on PC so that's always been a given, but if it's not in the console versions then i get the request 🙂
