Versus Pre Search Ping settings,

Can we please have a PRe search max ping setting for Versus games. In HUT they have this option, 

10-15 minute searches

Brutal, 

  • Every online game mode should have setting for max ping limit. Nice to wait and wait and wait until you fing game (any mode) and ping 120-150. And NO. It is not my internet.  

  • Pretty pretty please.


    Please add a Pre search ping cap for versus.

    The other day I took an hour to search for games looking for games with ping under 40, did not find one game. 

    When I play HUT I get ping games capped at 40 in under 60 seconds .   

    Never was this bad ever in any NHL,

      Online Versus games use a peer to peer connection. This means your ping is limited by who you connect to. With Online Versus being less popular than modes with dedicated servers (WoC, HUT), the best match may be someone in another region. Which would increase the ping. It's also very possible that the population is going to increase during peak hours. A larger player pool will probably mean you'll match with someone closer and have a better ping.

        So the answer is no, then? OP's question still stands even with the information you've provided in mind. We know OVP is P2P and we know fewer people play it. I think a lot of us OVP players would STILL like to have the option to avoid getting matched up with players who would result in an extremely high ping... 

        Or just make OVP dedicated servers, I guess.

      What exactly are you trying to show us? I've played 10 online versus games and I haven't seen that option. Is that from HUT? 

      EDIT: Never mind. Didn't realize you were OP double posting lol. YES. WE NEED THAT IN OVP. 

  • This is the 21st century this really shouldnt be hard to implement. 

    I mean on battlefield for example server search and you can pin point the exact game you want. East coast vs west coast servers. 

    Difference between 30-40 ping (same as NHL) to 70+, this makes a huge difference. Dying before buddies gun is even pointed at you. 

    No different for NHL, standing a1.5-2 times stick length away, he is able to poke the puck away. PING

    Pretty pretty pretty please EA. Ive been a paying customer for decades, lets introduce are selves to the 21st century.
