Changing server times

[Bre3ze 13]

So in the new patch, CHANGING SERVERS IS 600 SECONDS? Isn't this a bit overboard? 

 

 

I want to change servers cause the one I joined is very bad and laggy ----- Wait 10 minutes

I got kicked because high ping ( I go to servers with high ping cause they always seem less stuttery don't know why ) ---------- wait 10 minutes

Etc.

 

So in order to prevent server hopping and ghosting, you have to make it so other people that don't do this have to suffer this too? D: I thought the 300 seconds one was pretty good?!

 

is there another way to prevent server hopping or ghosting? :(

I've just had a 140 second. The change time is based on how long you stayed on your previous server if im not mistaken...

yes the shorter you stay on a server the longer the timer will be. i also just had a 600 second timer because i joined the wrong server by mistake.

 

but i like the 600 second timer, because it really prevents server hopping now. only people who have toooo much time will try to server hop this way.

 

@threadstarter: to prevent high ping, just check the ping times in the server browser. those numbers are pretty reliable. anything between 20 and 80 should be no problem at all!
