| 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 |
