It's weird, tried joining an empty server and staying on a few rounds. It will go away and come back then go away again. Noticed the ping jumps by about 10 when lagging, 5 when not (but doesn't jump as much).
Example: When lagging, 150-160, when not lagging 155-160.

Could be connection I suppose but doesn't make much sense

Please read my entire post, even with the distance and ping I was not getting this constant stuttering before. The actual ping number I referenced is not important. Even when I had 170-180 or 190 ping on some servers I did not get a consistent stuttering, a lag spike here or there maybe but not the entire time I am playing.

I've even tried an LA server and was getting 105-110 ping and it was still happening.

I played AA since 10 years and I havent seen this happen very often. Is this a joke. All I see here are the majority run to hide on the easy side. Mostly def. Some times there are decent players who play ass. And then the point grabbers want to join Ass all of a sudden. I would go as far as to say 90% of players are selfish and only want whats best for them. Unfortunatly these players are still here. I banned most of the names in here for that very reason. There still point grabbing selfish players. Dont know why so many are getting on there high horse for this  clan doing what most of you do anyway. Feacking is a joke.

Comparing the game from 10 years ago to today doesn't work. Nowadays we have <150 players on at a given time typically a lot less than that. Stacking teams doesn't help the tiny community that is left, so yes although maybe most don't try to rectify that situation when it comes about I know I try to even it up myself.

You play with a clan. You have a server. You have a TS server for the T-E-A-M.

And... ... ... ... you play on different sides.

Congratulations. Yeahhh!

So, when we play on iL or nexus server on different sides, they call us 'ghosters'. It's ok?

Well I personally don't care which team I play on, I'm here to have fun and talk to people because I enjoy their company, not to just always communicate enemy positions and our strategies in a pub match. It isn't that serious. As far as ghosting, that would never be said while I am playing unless it is painfully obvious. If others happened to think you were ghosting then the fix is simple, switch you to same side. Doesn't have to be all dramatic.

Well, thank you for confirming you stack one side no matter what. And no offense Branco but you reconnect for fragrate so it's difficult to take you seriously.

The reason clans "stack up" one particular side is usually because they're on TS and don't want to play against eachother.
And if half of the players on a server are from one clan, they will try to join one side. Sad that it has to be defense.
It's not the case always, but it is the case most of the time.

And I also kind of like IL server with it's mapchanges. However, I sometimes find it frustrating that I can't really get settled into a map before it's changed already

I am aware of the reasons for stacking one side. All I was pointing out was, as you said, having to be defense. I noticed their clan has a few "frag rate whores" one of which reconnected whenever I would kill him. From what I saw they don't enjoy challenge and just stack one side - the easier one - to improve frag rates. I'm not saying all of them do that but I also don't see any of them speaking up saying "no, let's not do that."
Not to toot my own horn but when I was in there most of them didn't ..improve...their fragrate but the less experienced/skilled players on my team were at a huge disadvantage. Mostly I was just aggravated because there are still new/newer players in this community and with servers like this it may turn them away or discourage them.

Normally I would agree, however he just said he plays from Japan now, his ping will be a major disadvantage on those. With lower pings it's way easier to dominate others with prefiring and peaking.

Yes, thank you for observing my ping issue lol. Normally if I were in the U.S. it wouldn't be an issue but nonetheless, it is still hard to crack a pipeline defense that is stacked + TS communication.

On another note I myself do enjoy being on my own team's TS and team but if I notice the teams are stacked and we are continually winning then I will step up and switch teams. There is one exception as Killaman would probably attest to where I was on a team with my buddies sh4dy and dickrobinson and we stacked on CSAR. That was purely because it was the first time we had all played together and were on TS in a very, very long time. Don't want to sound like a hypocrite so I will man up to that one.

This community is far too small, especially NA, to be bullying players on your server to play whatever side you prefer, while stacking your clan on the other. Yes I understand it's your server but you keep doing things like this and soon enough, no one is going to even bother playing there. Not to mention this behavior is toxic towards the community.

For those that weren't there:
We were all having a good time playing on maps such as Urban and MOUT but as soon as a map like "Pipeline SF" was chosen (And I assume any map with assault/defense), their clan forced everyone to switch to Assault or be kicked. If refuse again, banned. I voiced my concerns by asking why we aren't allowed to play defense if we choose, and they muted me. I left the server after that.

I saw someone put in chat from their clan on MOUT about their ping being high (Someone must have asked why they all camp so much) and I'm guessing that's their reasoning for wanting to all be on defense. I play from Japan so if I can suck it up, so can you.

That is all, have a great day.
