What is an acceptable ping for this game?

[MassiveFire]

I know that the ping standard is different for every game so what is the highest acceptable ping that you can still enjoyably play this game on? My ping is always in the triple digits, usually from 120 to 150. And that's for the only 2 populated servers near me.

Is there anything i can do to remedy this?

edit: as per the request of the community, i will now provide more info. i live in SEA, the only servers here that are somewhat playable are the 2 SEA servers (and a chinese one but i ain't playing there cause i can't speak chinese or whatever). on the server browser menu, the pings are reported in the 80-90 range. but when i join, it somehow shoots up to 110-150.

Well where are you. I'm in Northeast coast USA. The server I play on is in New York City area. An I get 60-80 ping.
I have Comcast cable. Download is 162, upload is 3.38. I'm using a Cat 6 Ethernet cable from my modem which is a Net Gear just under a 1 GB capable . Dell SPS 8900 i7 6700k @ 3.4 GHz, NIVIDA
GTX 1070.
Need to give the community just a little more info.

For me less than 100 is fine , I definitely feel it near the edge of the limit as I am used to playing with low latency though I still can enjoy myself on servers across the pond if needs be.

Your mileage will vary depending on what you are used too , I would say try to avoid servers too far away as you effect more than your own game with an excessive latency.

Also I can't remember if they changed it but the displayed ping was round trip rather than the std one way that most games have so that 120 may be actually 60

130-140 is the max where you can play comfortably for me

[Tombstone Jack]

anything under 120 is fine you wont see much difference anything over 120 is unplayable

I play on NA servers with 170 and can't tell the difference tbh, but when my "highly skilled" friends play with that high ping they notice and moan like beeches so it might be an issue if your a youngster with fast reflexes.

Most servers I play its the 100- 120ms range.

[JolyJew СлаваУкраине]

as with any game. anything below 150 ping is acceptble.

160-170 ping can also be accepted albeit frowened upon

[Gnubbolo]

I remember the Weekend Warriors server in RS1, everyone was pinging more than 200 ms, maybe the server was in California, maybe in Brazil, there was no more room for the skill, there were well-known wallhack players who couldn't kill.
high ping is like communism. we were all the same, all equally noobs.

Pfft, 110-150 at SEA is not much of a problem TBH, cause the ping ranges from the 10s to 200-ish.

I've played in SEA with 200 ping before, and it's .... quite interesting, having peeker's advantage and all that stuff. But with 110-120-ish ping, it's still doable. Got most kills once with that ping on that server.

[Mikehenrybell]

Below 120 ping

[Boink]

I play on a 200 ping server and it's fine.

[Lexx_Goffman]

everything below 200 is ok

[HouseAlwaysWins]

I get like 15-60 lol. Am in UK so that makes sense for UK servers

For connecting to SEA servers, the optimal ping will be 100 ping, but even your ping is 200-300 you can still play without major issue due to client-side hit detection

There will be +50 ping inflation when the server gets full (unreal engine issue), so as long as you keep under the 100 ping radius (+50ping), you would be fine.

The huge majority of players in SEA servers are 80-140ping when the servers are full.
