0s | so we have reduced the time from 60 to |
---|---|
3s | 45 minutes and we will tell you now why |
6s | in the next slides so only really less |
8s | than one percent |
11s | maybe every fifth hundred or thousands |
13s | of game right it's just longer than 40 |
14s | minutes |
15s | and |
17s | because of the last point on here is |
18s | light |
19s | it decreases server load if you reduce |
21s | the time and enable also more sessions |
24s | for us of the servers and this |
26s | again will increase the performance of |
28s | servers and also reduce the |
30s | load of hardware like cpu load or etc on |
34s | the servers and because of this i mean |
36s | we've seen the numbers here it's under |
37s | one under one percent so we hope the |
40s | benefit is big by changing the the |
42s | mission time and also the benefit is big |
44s | for you |
45s | because you should get a better server |
47s | performance at the end and obviously we |
49s | will monitor uh your feedback guys as |
51s | well uh to see how you like this change |
53s | but i know a lot of you are happy about |
55s | it and |
56s | we can make adjustments it's needed but |
58s | for now it is going to be 45 minutes |
62s | correct |
64s | and uh okay now let's talk about the big |
66s | one uh that i know people have been |
68s | waiting for a long time and asking for |
71s | it constantly uh let's talk about the |
74s | ping limits that we are adding and don't |
76s | worry chad don't go crazy just now uh |
79s | it's gonna be fine so let's take a look |
81s | [Music] |
83s | yep so first |
85s | as i mentioned we have a globally open |
87s | game what you can do in other games for |
89s | example um you can restrict areas you |
92s | can only play in us you can only play |
93s | and you can only play in asia you're not |
96s | able to switch |
97s | between these |
99s | areas right but we would like to still |
101s | give you the chance to play globally but |
104s | there's some restriction now and that's |
106s | also one of the reason why we introduced |
107s | the picnic feature |
108s | so the first one is |
110s | so the ping limit is at the moment and |
112s | set to 225 milliseconds that is the |
115s | first start |
116s | so based on the statistic we have seen |
118s | there is a good number |
120s | and |
121s | very important point is that you are |
123s | still allowed to play with your friends |
124s | it doesn't matter if you have any ping |
126s | of thousand one hundred thousand of five |
129s | you can still play with your friends |
130s | globally worldwide if you play alone you |
133s | are affected of this rule most likely |
134s | but if you want to play with friends you |
136s | can play with them it doesn't matter it |
138s | doesn't matter in which region yep and |
140s | because as i mentioned because we're |
142s | getting some kind of a control in ryan |
143s | right now with this um new feature |
146s | we're reducing the server related |
148s | latency a lot and this also then the |
150s | benefit for you that the server will run |
152s | much better |
154s | yeah i just wanted to mention that uh |
156s | obviously uh when we were working on |
158s | this feature we kept you guys in mind i |
160s | we know that uh all of you or a lot of |
162s | you like playing with friends from all |
164s | around the world so this was very |
165s | important to us that that should be |
167s | still possible and we basically targeted |
170s | the uh those players that are trying to |
172s | exploit the system to gain an advantage |
174s | uh by uh abusing the ping so |
178s | we focusing on those people that are |
180s | using it exploitatively and at the same |
182s | time trying to keep everyone happy so |
185s | you can still play the game as you like |
186s | in the normal way |
189s | absolutely |
191s | and uh yeah so this was just the |
192s | highlight of this but let's dive into |
194s | the actual rule set exactly and also how |
197s | the exceptions work let's see |
201s | correct so as i mentioned you the new |
203s | max is 225 milliseconds so as i |
206s | mentioned that's the start point okay |
208s | we've seen we're getting the feedback we |
210s | can change the number um time but for |
212s | now that's a starting point we think |
214s | that |
215s | it will benefit the servers which will |
217s | also benefit you |
218s | and will also benefit your gameplay |
220s | experience if you see some people who |
222s | lagging around the map right |
225s | so it's a starting point maybe in the |
227s | future we will improve it to a lower |
229s | number but for now it's 125 milliseconds |
232s | yep and then also um reforcing |
235s | as i mentioned if you're playing alone |
237s | let's say you have a ping of 250 |
240s | you're from australia you want to play |
241s | on the on the u server |
243s | and you have a ping of 250 you are not |
245s | allowed on eu anymore so you can |
249s | check the servers in the overview and |
251s | you can only select the server which is |
254s | under 225 milliseconds or the rule is |
258s | the best server you can get even if you |
260s | have ping of thousands on every server |
262s | the server with the ping of let's say |
264s | 1001 and the other 2 1003 you can still |
267s | play on the server on one thousand one |
268s | so you're not excluded off the game so |
270s | only then defer |
272s | the server with the best ping is |
273s | possible for you |
275s | yeah we will show some examples of these |
277s | in a second in image form as well so you |
279s | can actually see what happens in the |
280s | game |
281s | and we also made some changes to how the |
283s | region selection is highlighted and how |
286s | that works |
288s | so uh there will be some different |
290s | colors uh |
291s | i can go through it as well |
293s | so we will have the blue font available |
296s | for all uh those regions with the golden |
298s | break round which are the best regions |
300s | for you so optimal regions with the best |
302s | ping available then with an orange font |
305s | and grey back baron these will be the |
307s | regions where your |
308s | pink is uh medium or not super optimal |
311s | but still very playable so you can |
313s | easily select those and then obviously |
315s | the red one that uh |
316s | stefan already mentioned like you can |
318s | see on the asia one up there it will be |
320s | grayed out and you will be logged out of |
322s | that region |
325s | and and here is the screen so you can |
328s | also see an image example |
330s | uh and as you can see it even warns you |
332s | that some of the regions are blocked out |
334s | for you because your latency is too high |
336s | so you have to select from very slower |
338s | and uh in this example you can see that |
340s | the two u.s servers are too high uh asia |
343s | is in the middle and europe uh is where |
346s | you can |
347s | optimally play with the best experience |
350s | correct and also if you click on the |
352s | play button and you have a higher ping |
354s | this screen will appear automatically |
356s | and will tell you please change your |
357s | region |
358s | um so |
360s | don't worry you don't need to do |
361s | something manually then even if you |
363s | click on play you will get reminded |
365s | please use the server with the best |
367s | thing here |
368s | what's the exceptions exactly let's see |
371s | uh |
372s | like as we establish the base rule is a |
375s | 225 ping |
377s | but there are some exceptions which are |
379s | the following |
380s | correct i touched a little bit two |
382s | slides before so the first one is |
384s | the best possible reading has higher |
386s | ping than |
387s | 22 uh 222 milliseconds blood player can |
391s | still select the best ping region as i |
392s | mentioned so don't worry you can play |
394s | anytime |
395s | yeah just to again uh |
398s | tell people what it is if let's say |
399s | you're playing from |
401s | uh the antarctica and uh |
403s | your ping is everywhere higher than 225 |
406s | then technically you wouldn't be able to |
408s | play anywhere but uh obviously we want |
410s | to ensure that everyone can still play |
412s | hunt so we will allow you to choose the |
415s | server that has the lowest ping out of |
417s | all the other servers and you can |
418s | continue playing on that server |
421s | and then let's look at the second uh |
424s | exception |
425s | yep so that is of course very important |
427s | for you |
428s | um invite from a friend to region where |
430s | your ping it sees the threshold |
432s | but you're still allowed to play it but |
435s | you're getting a warming uh warning |
436s | pop-up that means |
438s | yes you can play with your friend but it |
441s | could affect the gameplay experience |
442s | because of the high latency |
444s | but that's the only pop-up he um just |
446s | providing at the moment but you can play |
448s | with your friends yeah so this was for |
450s | duels when you get invited by one friend |
452s | and obviously you are also able to play |
454s | in teams as usual uh and in both of |
457s | these cases actually the one that |
459s | invites the others is the host lobby so |
462s | the numbers uh the ping numbers will be |
464s | calculated based on his location |
468s | correct |
469s | yeah as you already mentioned yes yeah |
472s | and it's the same same thing and yeah |
474s | let's just see at some screenshots which |
476s | shows what happens uh |
478s | so this is the |
480s | first exception where your ping is uh |
483s | higher in every region than the allowed |
485s | one and as you can see you can still |
487s | select the lowest one to play on |
491s | and then uh |
494s | here you can change uh see that uh when |
496s | you get invited into a game the game |
498s | will warn you that your region uh has |
500s | changed and that uh you may uh it may |
503s | impact your gameplay if your ping is too |
505s | high |
507s | and yeah i believe that's it for the |
509s | region look |
