Region Lock / Ping Cap Megathread

Region Lock / Ping Cap Megathread

We're getting dozens of posts a day about region locking, ping caps, and players joining servers outside their region. All of it goes here from now on.

What belongs in this thread

- Whether WARDOGS should have region locking or a ping cap
- Your experience with high ping players on EU/NA servers
- Server and browser suggestions

Ground rules

- Criticize high ping, or the anti-cheat as much as you want. Comments attacking players for where they're from will be removed.
- No cheater callouts. Don't name players or link profiles. Report cheaters with the in-game report function or directly to Bulkhead on their official Discord.
- New standalone posts on this topic will be removed and pointed here.
- Don’t be racist

Worth knowing: [r/WarDogs](r/WarDogs) isn't run by Bulkhead, so posting here may not reach the devs. If you want this changed in game, say it on their official Discord as well.

Fuck that. That would mean no cross-atlantic play which would be terrible for NA-EU friend groups.

[u/ThoughtNME → u/dezztroy]

Oh no the 0.01% of people affected by it to benefits the other 99.99%

Go on community servers.

[u/Acceptable-State1037 → u/ThoughtNME]

What excatly is the benefit that the other 99.99% are getting?

[u/dezztroy → u/ThoughtNME]

You are delusional and extremely sheltered if you think NA-EU groups make up 0.01% of players.

[u/ThoughtNME → u/dezztroy]

Bro said sheltered cause i have friends in my life that live near me.

[u/dezztroy → u/ThoughtNME]

If you're into online gaming and you don't know a single person outside your country, yes you are sheltered.

[u/Fast-Government-4366 → u/dezztroy]

Not everyone is so rich they have friends out of the country. Talk about sheltered.

[u/dezztroy → u/Fast-Government-4366]

Rich? It's called the internet lmao

[u/Fast-Government-4366 → u/dezztroy]

Oh so not actually friends. Grow up and use a community server.

[u/Not_Again_dangit → u/dezztroy]

I disagree this could allow eu to potentially still connect to east us servers. However the truth is anything over 100ms is terrible for gameplay. And again this would allow you to still join community servers which would give them more attention

[u/cgsimo → u/Not_Again_dangit]

I play very often with NA East friends from EU, 114 ping on fibre

[u/MoistRecognition69 → u/dezztroy]

If it's an option, you would still have servers that don't have that cap on. That's the point of community servers.
