High ping abuse

Can I please stop being ######### paired with ppl +120 ping???????? Literally if this company doesn't wanna spend more money on servers or fixing the myriad of bugs on the game, at least WARN ME BEFORE STARTING THE MATCH that the killer has high ping so I can see myself out of that lobby.

What purpose does it serve for you to tell me the killer's ping ingame WHEN I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

I'm so tired of being hit by invisble huntress hatches, nurses blinks that never connect, dropping palletes and being hit for no reason and all that bullcrap. Really, make high ping people play by themselves and leave the rest the ######### alone.

    BHVR has made it pretty clear (by their silence on the issue) that they don't have any plans to address this problem. I've already long since given up trying to get the devs' attention to even acknowledge that this is a problem.

    If the servers have issues and cause high ping then surely all players will be affected no? You listed only killer things there. Survivors can benefit from the high ping issue too.

    Nah, the way things work in this game is survivors can't get any benefit from high ping (don't ask me why bcs i don't know the tech behind) but it is something that the hitboxes from survivor register properly and the attacks from killer don't or something like that.

    well no theres validation on both sides so a high ping across the board from dodgy servers will not benefit anyone in that case. If a single person had bad ping then it's an issue on their end and not a server issue so can't blame that

    It bothers me on both roles. I have no desire to play against 80+ ping Killers who are rewarded for poor internet while I get wood thunk sounds when Survivors are half way over pallets.

    It sucks but this is one of those issues without a good solution.

    What are we supposed to do exactly? Ask BHVR to give us South African servers shrug we'd love to stop playing EU too

    I think the main problem is killers abusing ping, as a survivor I play other servers with ExitLag (OCE to NA) and I have about 160ms - 180ms and it means I cant greed pallets, I get hit 10 feet through windows and around corners etc. However when versing killers it seems the same happens but to their advantage.

    CIS countries and South Africa need their own server(s)
    The only objective reason I see is that players from Europe / Africa / CIS countries are so few that if you divide them into separate servers, the que time will become unrealistically long for both roles

    They won't fix something that don't bring money. Same with games overall health.

    There will be a day when you can play an online game anywhere in the world vs. anyone in the world, and everyone will have a perfect connection. Fingers crossed that day comes in the near future so we can all enjoy it.
