Prior to 1.18, these values don't really exist in that sense. All network timings are calculated from the latency value in 1.16 (e.g. 2).

Summary of that is that, contrary to a belief which I've seen espoused quite often lately, a rate of 8 is roughly equivalent to 1.16 lan latency (maybe a frame slower, hard to say super precisely without a lot more data). Increasing the latency on turn rate 12 to High seems to increase the variance without meaningfully changing the average latency (but is still faster than what lan latency would have been). Thanks for the test, but I would not come to the same conclusion. A ~15% longer delay time is significant. Basically your data proves, that L2 is indeed right inbetween turn rate 8 and 12, so providing an additional turn rate 10 option would probably be useful to get the L2 setting back.
That assumes the data is far more accurate than it actually is. Measuring by frames here can never give you a truly accurate value as the rendering/recording will basically never line up exactly with network activity and game turn advancement. That's [part of] the reason why these values change between tests. There's no real reason to believe that turn rate 8 is actually different than L2 here. With a lot more samples, it's extremely likely they'd converge to the same thing.

I guess this is more of a complaint than anything that really adds to discussion, but vs. R is horseshit. As Z, it upsets me, and I'm sure it's equally shitty for T and P. Maybe instead of playing vs R, it can just pick and show a race? Is that something everyone can get behind?

I'm having so much fun with matchmaking ATM. It's such a great addition to BW.
Also, now that the servers are alive, I can host 1v1 games with observers so my friends can see me play. And ramdom people come to observe too ^_^ This is great! I had forgotten how great it felt when people just flood into the games being hosted.
Random pickers are still hard to deal with, but the way I solve it is by doing proxy 2 gate everytime someone randoms. I mean, 2/3 times the build will be viable. And I consider randoming to be a type of cheese so I don't feel bad about cheesing back. Not that I feel bad for cheesing in any other situation though,
I really hope this lasts.
|
Is anyone else having a lot of people dc when they fall behind on ladder?
About half my games the other guy just drops the second they fall behind or they scout that their cheese is countered.
At least it's stopped giving me losses when the opponent dc's i guess :s

I don't get your chain of arguments. What is your reason to believe that the delays are not different, good faith?
I feel ingame that TR 8 has a slightly higher delay than L2 and I am glad you took the time to do some tests because I wasn't 100% sure because neither TR 8 nor TR 12 felt like L2. Your sample size might not representative measurement but it is much more likely, that a significant difference really exists.

What does the 'environmental effects' setting do. Maybe I'm crazy but when I toggle it on and off I can't see a difference.

Since SC often has very similar tiles next to each other, I think it just increases the variety in the tiles. I agree it doesn't do an amazing job though.

Ranked seems down atm. I haven't been able to get a match, have tried restarting and whatnot. Played quite a few games just before now though.

Anyone's guess really. It's looking pretty darn good as it is. We are already in the second golden age.
The question is if we will have a third golden age when the current elite gets too old or begin their military service. Will there be Korean teenagers devoting their lives to BW once again? Not yet, but it might happen.

Your sample size might not representative measurement but it is much more likely, that a significant difference really exists.
Because adding a single frame of delay over what existed previously would be nonsensical. Stilwell (or some other Blizzard person) stated that 8 was equivalent around when they originally added the option. Many people (such as yourself) didn't accept that at face value, so I attempted to give you some data so that it can be accepted. If you really want to believe something otherwise, I guess you will, but I actually talked to Stilwell (like, on the phone) when they were making 1.17, and know for a fact that targeting L2 was their priority. It'd be pretty damn strange for them to suddenly decide that wasn't the priority (and not only that, but for such a small amount of added latency) once they made turn rate configurable.
It is far more likely that any delay you perceive is related to input and/or graphical changes between 1.16 and now, and not due to the rate at which network turns are sent or processed.

The main problem is that they're not allowing match picking at the moment. I think once they do, random isn't gonna be a big thing anymore. Also, the disadvantage from having to learn every matchup is genuinely bigger than the advantage you get from randoming.

Seems to me skill in SC2 doesn't transfer well over to BW.
Watching Dragon get owned at 15-1600mmr got me thinking that.
Same goes for me really. I can't control jackshit in terms of army when I get beyond 100 supply. So I just end my games as fast as I can. Literally played last 15 games like that.

lol, if dragon is getting owned at 1600 mmr i really doubt he was ever a+ on iccup
edit: could be possible that the skill floor on korea is just super duper higher than in the west, but still.
|
Korea is way harder than EU/NA, way way way harder. ~1900 on KR = B rank players on fish (well during the beta at least, i'm sure the ranks have gotten inflated after the release.. could be around 2K MMR now).
That said Dragon wasn't A+ on ICCup, he was an ok player tho. His id used to be Yongma[ArnC], he played on EU a lot.
|
How do the gateways work? If you play on Korea, do you get matched versus koreans more often? I thought it was a global ladder and didn't matter what gateway you selected.
