How high is "too high"?

Ping I mean.

I usually back out of a lobby if survivors are above 170ms or have huge fluctuations (80ms ^ 250ms, and back down).

    Ill usually take anything under 350 with little consequence. A stable 200 is better than an unstable 50-100 imo

    Red ping is too high for me.

    I will play any match if it is under the red.

    As I live next to a Farm, far from an exchange, with a internet hogging brother...

    Anything below 200.

    If I've been waiting for a while, I'll take 230.

    250 is about my limit. I've played matches as high as 350, but in those I tend to get hit mid-vault or through pallets. Also, @Cetren is absolutely right in saying that stability is more important than absolute ping. If the ping is jumping back and forth in the lobby, you're likely to get lag spikes in-game.

    200 and lower. 150-200 only if it is really stable though. Have to watch as it does jump up/down when Killers are checking Profiles. It's when it's fluctuating 40-50 either direction for an extended period (10 seconds or more) that I will leave no matter what it is reading. Tells me the connection is unstable and I'll be getting those lovely teleports.

    Other than if the ping is red I leave, for me if I’m in the lobby and the ping fluctuates within 20 seconds I’m gone.

    What he said. But stable ping is better overall. Rather stable and high than erratic and low but the best is a stable low ping.

    I prefer to be in the yellow. But if I'm playing PS4, I find that there is more pings over 250 then not. So I just deal with anything under 300.
