    To be fair it could just be people with a bad connection. I've had some rough goes of it in the past, and I live in a developed area. Literally today had a Huntress whose ping hit 860, but was fluctuating wildly before she eventually DC'd, likely due to losing connection entirely.

    Yeah it can spike but if it constantly stays like that it usually hints to something off.

    This is tricky because I am on wired connection, but I get slammed over to a different region and my ping gets spiked out the butt cheeks.

    At some point, we need to stop taking people for idiots.

    We all know that some players deliberately use a VPN or try to have high ping to gain an advantage in-game.

    Killers who play their entire match at over 150ms ping, making it impossible to loop properly because they land hits that shouldn’t connect—yeah yeah, come on, stop treating us like fools.

    Even before I had fiber, I never went above around 40 ms.

    If people aren’t able to play properly, why should it penalize everyone else?

    With limited servers you cant have it too low, at most 150 ping should be the limit, thats already awful though and extremely generous, i'd want lower myself.. There's absolutely no reasons to accept above that.

    There's an entire continent with no dedicated server. Even highly populated regions don't have servers - Middle Eastern players have been rightfully begging for a dedicated server for a good long whiile now, for example.

    The fix needs to be to make ping less impactful on gameplay where possible, not relegating ppl in Africa or the Middle East or anywhere far from their dedicated server to a second queue, additionally worsening queue times for all players, good ping or no.

    this should’ve been in the game a long time ago. Dbd is turning 10 years old. I don’t want to play with WiFi players. I don’t want to queue with console players on console. It’s just frustrating at times.

    This. At this point if killer has over 300 ping I tell everyone in EGC to report for lag switching. there is no reasonable reason why you have ping over 300. Would be diffrent if they just gave up like "sorry i have bad ping" but every killer I've had that's had absurdly high ping (not related to servers) is playing like a sweat lord.

    Edit: I'm oceanica so no excuses for not having a region, people from middle east should most certainly not be put in oceanica

    When reading your comments, I think you dont understand what Wifi means and how it shows in the Ping. Wifi means that the connection is not wired and this can result in unstable Ping. E.g. the Ping can spike. So the person can have 25 Ping, but it might not be consistent.

    However, this does not even mean that every inconsistent ping is due to Wifi. Wired internet can have the same issues, it is just more reliable in total.

    High Ping however is the distance from yourself to the Server. And this can never be capped at 50ms, simply because we dont have enough Servers close to the players, since there are some regions which dont have a Dedicated Server at all. Those people have to connect to the closest Server, which might result in high Ping.

    Having those all grouped together will also not really help. Since it is not only your ping to the Server which is relevant, but also the ping from the other side to the Server. E.g. if a Survivor has 20 Ping, but a Killer has 120 Ping, the total difference is 140 ms. This sucks, but this cannot be avoided. However, if you would group all players with high Ping together, you would have people with high Ping playing against each other all the time. So a Survivor then has 120 Ping to the Server, the Killer has 120 Ping as well, so their total difference is 240 ms. And at this point it becomes unplayable. Which is a downgrade to the current system.


    Furthermore, people with 400+ Ping you are posting are most likely using VPNs to connect to far away Servers to gain an advantage. And I agree that this needs to stop. But this has nothing to do with Wifi or wired connection at all.

    could be packet loss bro. I used to get match long spikes that put me at 400 or 1100 ping.

    Lmfao, I am a console player that is on wifi and I get below 60 ping the majority of the time.

    Yikes to the PC elitism, glad I stepped back from this game, lmao.

    Edit: Also, turn off crossplay. I don't know what to tell you tbh, I get tired of going against Steam and Epic players using hacks that are inexpensive but I don't come on here vilifying a whole platform. 😌

    in the past, disabling Cross play doesn't prevent you from facing cheaters but idk if these terminator bots can do that. I'm on Xbox so it's tempting to turn it off

    Sadly CrossPlay on or off makes no difference when it comes to cheaters, as they can inject themselves into any lobby regardless.

    If you are the killer why are you complaining of survivor ping you get benefit of them having higher ping also those are normal ping to anyone certain distance from the server location. I get 140ms sometimes when my connection decides to be difficult but those are spikes and it usually goes back to 60-80 ping. Like you might have a point with those other ridiculous pings you have posted earlier but this just feels like attempt to find something to post again when you have not seen those higher ones again.

    I think you first need to learn what ping is before you start complaining about the ping level of other players.
