Some way for your teammates to see your ping (Latency)

A ping feature has been implemented somewhat recently but to the best of my knowledge there is no way you can see someone else's ping, yeah they can tell u but still. Recently I have been getting way more lag than usual and its very irritating. I think some kind of thing should be implemented so you can alert your teammates u are lagging without having to type/ say anything.

Maybe:
-you can ctrl+click the little circle and it would say "My current Ping is X"
-if you are getting lots of lag, so if ur circle is red a red circle pops up beside your name in the party list
-they can make a new window u can open and in it u can see everyones ping on ur team
something like that

NOTE: not in towns/outposts, only in explorable and combat areas

Excellent idea. I play my monk 95% of the time and nothing is more frustrating than being stuck in a lag-spike while your team gets mowed down. This is the kind of stuff they should be implementing instead of giving us mini-pets in outposts.

/signed, excellent idea!! Same reason as said before, nothing wrong that having your ded team raging you while your swearing at your modem.

it benefits the team greatly.
the only downside i can think of it people who are either stuck on lowspeed internet or just have horrible ping times for some other reason will be discriminated against when selecting party members

Sending even more info from the server to your comp, back to the server, then to your teammates would only add more latency. Kinda defeats the purpose of it.

I'm ctrl+clicking on the red circle all the time :P

/signed. And yes, why isn't this in the game already?:\

i guess it wouldnt show in outposts and such, only in explorable/fight areas

If you're seriously lagging, the lag where not only your response is delayed, but you are unable to perform any action for 5-30 seconds, then pinging your lag would be delayed 5-30 seconds as well.

By the time anyone knew, it'd be too late.

As long as it only shows in combat areas, it's fine for me.

Absolutely not. It will then only become another feature used to discriminate during party-making.

if you actually read you'd see it was determined this would not show in towns and outposts, only in explorable/combat areas. not to mention there is really one place where there is any real 'discrimination' and its perfectly valid.

there are sometimes i lag like hell and others dont know it and it sucks... so yea

How do I make my post at least 12 characters long I wonder?

I'm off to go ponder that particular problem...

Actually, if read your first post, if says nothing of the sort. Later, you say that. You should update your first post because not everybody has the time like me to read through every single post, especially if this were to be a long thread. So actually update before bashing....
But I would say no because there are people that have 56k because cable or dsl is not available to them so that's all they got. So this would instantly eliminate those players and not only that as Antheus said, if you're lagging, people will find out through your lack of movement and talking... Or they can just consider you afk and then leave you. Same results.
But this'll still cut out people that have orange pings (medium lag) and people will say forming a Non-Lagging group. Now, I generally have green or orange, but I have orange a lot because I don't have all of the internet to myself. I share with my family.
But all and all, this is going to really separate people with good/okay/bad pings. It's like in the Half-Life games, if you have a ping over 120, you're kicked! Whoopee! I personally hate that.
/notsigned

well if it is not seen in towns and outposts not a problem. I HAVE 56K AND I SIGNED, really not a big deal.

But this guy is saying it'd be seen in towns/outposts.

bleh either way, if they want to kick you then fine... probably noobs anyway. i have to deal with worst stuff... "GLF RANK 4 NUKER" "im rank 3 but i am quite skilled, i do gvg more" "NO R3, R4 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOB" .... so yes this is the least of my worries
