High ping players
First time posting been playing for 4 years on battlefield. You have got to do something about high ping players playing out of region. It is destroying the fun factor. I'm north America west coast ps4. My ping average is 25 to 30. When I join west coast servers now there are a large amount of players pinging 140 to 250 most of the players are out of region. My shots do not register the same and is making the game unplayable. Why am I penalized for having a good connection? I can play east coast with 65 to 70 ping and do fine. Only difference is there may only be like 4 or 5 players pinging 150+. Players need to play in their own region. Along with the 5.2 update it is unplayable for me. I get all three lag symbols in right corner of screen while playing in west, but in east with few high pingers I get 1 or none of these symbols....

Dont believe me go play on a eu server from the states or vice versa.
There is no advantage of being high ping..
It's sad, but I often get better hit registry on East US 90 ping
Tell me why on a US east server the other morning there were 43 players with pings of 125ms or more. I mean wtf? Why
BfV however it seems the hitmarkers only register once it gets confirmed by the other person, so hitmarker times are WAAAY off, your damage still counts on the server but people think they aren't doing damage due to lack of markers, they are still shooting at their enemy waiting for the hits to come through when they should be moving on.
Long story short, lagging doesn't make people unkillable and lagging doesn't help you, the aggressor has the advantage regardless of pings.
Because the quick match option is broken, it always is. Most blueberries don't even notice what server they are being put in. There should be only be advanced search/server browser or join friends as an option and I'm sure most players would just join their closest location
Players need to play in their own region? It’s the 21st century and I’ve been playing with my American friends for 10 years now.
A dev from Dice stated there WAS an advantage for high pingers. There's a long thread on the BF1 forum
I know for a fact i do way better the lower the ping, sure high pingers do some weird stuff but the overall stability and smoothness of the game is worth so much more if your a high paced player.
I've seen my perspective at 60 ping compared to players in the same game at sub 20 and to the lower ping guy everyone is standing around like muppets because they're lagging behind.
Then on my screen i have to play the game like a cs pro because every bullet is a 1 hit kill and i'll die the instant their gun clears a corner(and sometimes before) even if they have an smg.
Thread may have been, " When is Dice going to do something about oor players"
I think plenty of high pings can alter a server a tad to ruin my 2 shot killing self loading rifles. I was so ticked off yesterday. I'm usually the rifle man going wild. But when people aren't dropping up close with 2 shots there's something wrong. Also need more maps. Most of the old ones are very stale. New one's been over played already. Who knows when we get Solomon Islands released other then the stated sometime in 2020. Also no new road map for chapter 6.
Bet you a cat picture it's the matchmaker issue shunting people to OOR servers.
I only use advance search for filter with conquest USA and 5+ slots. I know quick match will throw you anywhere in the world for servers. Maybe others don't know this. Mainly started to happen with 5.2.2. I don't remember seeing high pings for 5.2.
