Strange, I didn't notice any significant delay and I was sure it was removed a few versions back.AoC said:No. Don't touch the block delay . With this feature, gap between people with good ping and people with bad ping is less pronounced.

If so it makes me sad
Hrrrrrrrrr... This "improvement" in ping is actually a bug that started occurring 3 days ago on US servers. Your real ping is actually greater by 40-50 ms than the value that is shown in statistics window. Ping values in server choice window are more or less OK.Halcyon said:Recently in seems pings were improved. Where i usually had 70+ ping now i can get anywhere from 40+ping, and even at 48 ping i was noticing this gross block delay.
You don't have any delay with 50+ ping.JoG said:Your real ping is actually greater by 40-50 ms than the value that is shown in statistics window.

So now you have 70+ ping PLUS block delay (I have 40-50 ping + block delay) which is approximately equivalent to 100+ ping without delay. Of course it makes blocking extremely complicated.
Really? Cuz everytime I play, as soon as i see the enemy start to swing... I press block.. oh but wait the swing is faster then the delay = DEAD. Fun... lets try again.... and again the swing is faster then the block.Stabbing Hobo said:Are you kidding? This thing is like the next best thing after sliced bread. People were saying blocking was too easy with 50 ping, imagine same players with a ping of 5. Delay doesn't mess with the balance at all nor does it punish the ones with low ping
Then obv the block delay is really broken..switchfoot said:Man my ping is usually about 15-40 (especially if I'm playing on a Czech server) and I don't even notice the block delay with 15 ping.
No, you don't get the point... Right now the ingame pingometer is broken on US servers. For example, I know that my ping on US servers is 40-50, and I'm OK with that. But right now for some unknown reason the game treats my ping as being zero (I see 0 in statistics window which is definitely wrong because the servers are on the East coast and I live in ND) and applies blocking penalty to it. So for the last 3 days I have 40-50 ping PLUS blocking penalty which is roughly equivalent to 100+ ping. If you look at statistics window on any of the US servers you'll notice plenty of people having 0 ping which is nonsense. I talked to Destin and other people I know and they confirmed that they have the same issue (Destin's ping is now ~60 instead of usual 100-110 and he also has troubles with it). This bug has already been reported.Stabbing Hobo said:You don't have any delay with 50+ ping.JoG said:Your real ping is actually greater by 40-50 ms than the value that is shown in statistics window.
