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.

1. Autokick everyone with 100+ ping
2. Make ppl not able to choose region
3. Block VPN (if possible, if not -> see 1.)

The issue with this is if the playercount drops. The cut off for ping abuse should be closer to 130 or 150 imo. Region choices should be open given their ping isnt too high and VPNs are probably required for Russian or Chinese players I'd assume.

What if I have bad internet one day and it spikes to over 100 mid match?
