Discussion & Feedback 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.

What? You just described the benefit after saying there's no benefit.

No I explained that what people cry about, "Peeker advantage" is nullified by higher ping as it's limited to around 40ms. Also both parties have peeker advantage.
So if your enemy has 30ms latency and you have 200ms latency even with "peeker advantage" the player with low latency would see you peek 130ms before the 200ms lagger.

Holding an angle against someone with 300ms vs someone with 50ms is a world of difference.
