Ping rate changes for bad gaming experience

So twice in the past 5 years I’ve watched this happen, and would love a more detailed explanation on the reasoning for it. The most recent game update on the ps5, the biggest thing that stood out wa...

    Thanks for all those details. I'll keep an eye out for other reports of this.

@EA_Aljo All im trying to say is that 2 weeks ago if you had 110 ping it always showed poor. The day of the update it changed. The fact that it hasn’t been mentioned maybe is because it’s such a subtle change that it’s going to take an overly perceptive sucker like myself to take notice to it. I’ve noticed it twice now.

For me, I’ve caught it. So I know now when I’m skimming not to trust it says fair before I hastily ready up and actually look at the ping. Usually I’m looking at opposing builds/players, or 20ft away from my tv, so I used to be able to trust the colour. I can’t do that now.

For new players, those less knowledgeable about connectivity, or people really just not paying attention, this is a much bigger deal. My post is not biased towards my personal experience as much as it is a perspective on a bad decision that will inevitably cause more disappointment within the community.

I strongly recommend dialing it back and making it a more reliable feature for customers. When the complaints do come in about connectivity, who’s going to be the observant enough one to go maybe we shouldn’t have changed that and this wouldn’t have happened, rather than oh well they’ve been complaining about this forever.

You dig?

@southpaw86 

I checked in to this and nothing has changed on our end in regards to how pings are displayed.

    I hate to call it for what it is man but this is a false statement as I know what I’m talking about and I’m not making it up out of thin air. This benefits you guys to change this, not me. I personally don’t care. But I’m telling you this will only cause more connectivity complaints and you guys won’t even blink that this is part of the reason if you won’t acknowledge it when it’s being pointed out

    when has 115 ever been considered a fair connection? You can call me a liar, you can deny this has changed and I’m just some crazy guy on your feed. But I encourage you to see this for what it is, not a complaint, but an observation that is going to again cause more connectivity issues, and really has no benefit in the first place to have pings mislabeled. 

    I joined this 115 fair connection only to show you guys and prove my point. This game was a mess and my abilities were next to none. Anything but a fair connection.

    But like I said I’m sharing this for the benefit of other players, as well as yourself who needs to answer to the community when they’re going why does this game suck so bad online when I can to play other games with my friends that don’t have these issues.

    Changing small stuff like this goes a long way. Or ignore it.
