150-350 fps usually around the 200s. Will i be able to pvp efficiently? - Guild Wars Forums

truetearsyay · Sep 13, 2009, 02:41 PM // 14:41

I get lags when its around 400 ping though. This was on the trial. I got 400+ ping and lags about 4 times during my 3 hours of playing. Would my ping increase if i did pvp? Will it handle big events? Sorry i said fps, it would suppose to be ping xD.

150-350fps?
Or are you really referring to 150-350ms ping?

150-350fps would be godly and way overkill on what you need to play the game, so I'll just assume ping:

150-200ms is ok, considering many other people will probably have same disadvantages.
But with pings over 150ms, it's better to play classes who doesn't need fast reflexes.

LoneManWolf · Sep 13, 2009, 03:04 PM // 15:04

you should do fine
i know people that play pvp just great with 25-30 fps and over 600 pings

zelgadissan · Sep 13, 2009, 03:05 PM // 15:05

Just don't play mesmer or ranger or else your teams will rage at you.

crazybanshee · Sep 13, 2009, 03:19 PM // 15:19

Don't play monk either. Best best is a melee class.

"150-350 fps usually around the 200s."
If this was true, your computer would be going faster than the server

Then again, if the ping was 200s, you would have a three minute and twenty second delay on everything, BUT your game would run with flawless graphics.

Basically this. As long as you don't play those professions as interrupters (or an infuse monk), you'll be fine. Note, you can still play those professions in low end PvP using different skill setups. Just not certain finesse builds.

Eragon Zarroc · Sep 13, 2009, 03:38 PM // 15:38

lol at fps. u should be ok in pvp with that ping. if u were averaging in the thousands, prolly not.

I have 250 ping and 24 FPS about all the time and have no problem interrupting 3/4 skills (And these are not lucky rupts).

So you should have no problem PvPing what so ever. GL.

Not true. Mine runs about 180 average FPS, window'd. I consider it really bad lag if my FPS is below my ping. (I've gotten it to about 300-350 when facing a wall with lowest possible graphics in full screen at 640x480)

I also run with virt sych off, so mine aren't capped at 55-60.

HOWEVER - In response, a 200ms ping isn't bad. As stated, don't run reflex-heavy bars. Running a ranger is fine, but don't expect to interrupt 3/4s casts. You should be able to still get 1 second pretty easy, and if you can't get 2s casts, well, a sloth would have better reflexes then you, sorry to say

dilan155 · Sep 13, 2009, 04:21 PM // 16:21

really? i get very high FPS like 200 and like ~100ms ping, but then from time to time i started to lag then i put vsync on and im fine now, you might have lagging if your FPS is that high then enable vsync and you should be fine.

p.s just tested out in EotN Asuran parts (imo the most taxing part of GW) and got about 110FPS and like 170 ping.

moriz · Sep 13, 2009, 04:24 PM // 16:24

fps and ping are not connected in any way. a high fps won't affect your ping, neither does really low fps.

eGaming · Sep 13, 2009, 05:15 PM // 17:15

300 would be took much FPS for your eyes to handle anyway, I get around 90-100ping - can interupt shit pretty well

Snograt · Sep 13, 2009, 05:24 PM // 17:24

I suppose it's pointless mentioning screen refresh rates vs. fps in a topic full of speed merchants?

Thought so :/

Hollygen · Sep 13, 2009, 06:30 PM // 18:30

Your image is only as good as your weakest compnant, and as Snograt's comment suggests, 300fps is wasted if you only have a 60 or 70Hz monitor

I tend to average about 250ms ping with verly little problem

ShoGunTheOne · Sep 13, 2009, 06:31 PM // 18:31

i've been playing on 500-800 ping for 3 years, and i've yet to see anything i'm unable to play in pve with that ping....i just means that i have to react faster when i play interupts

Nerel · Sep 13, 2009, 06:58 PM // 18:58

With an 800 ms ping a 3/4 second cast is over BEFORE you see it... so yes, you'd really have to react faster... maybe by flying around the world Superman2 style so you can go back in time and interrupt it.

500-800ms ping makes reflexing hard on anything but the most lengthy casts, even predictive interrupting can be hard with a high ping... and most teams don't appreciate spray and pray interrupt spamming techniques.

Nerf Me Haha · Sep 13, 2009, 07:42 PM // 19:42

I'm averging ~300-600 ms ping, I don't have much problems unless playing a ranger which I don't cuz of this ping.

Bristlebane · Sep 14, 2009, 09:11 PM // 21:11

Mesmer and ranger generally need good pings for interrupts.
Monks do too but not to the same extent.

For monks it's more often about predicting the spikes before they happen, so once they do your ally is already protted. Even with 200-300ms, you should be able to do it fairly good.
