Ping Compensating (Like compensating for wind)

[Doyal 4]

Hey I'm a player from India and my ping is consistently above 150-200, which is hilarious considering the other players on the server have ping like 20-50. So I was hoping you guys could suggest a play style for me. Should I not snipe because whenever I'd shoot anyone from afar they'd have probably moved past my bullet? should I compensate for that as one compensates for wind?

Also, I always lose close range too, because I keep shooting people in their head and nothing happens and they shoot a couple of bullets and I drop when I'm fully geared and they're practically bambies. This is really spoling the game for me. Shall I give up all combat? Should I check in after a few months hoping we have an Indian Server by then?
 

Thanks

A ping of 150 is perfectly fine, I have not experienced any issues with it and I usually play on US servers from EU, which is about 170-220 when it peaks - and even then I don't feel the difference.

I remember like back in 90's playing Unreal Tournamet with ping 300-350 was considered fine.

 

For DayZ ping under 400 is fine.in my opinion.

This sounds more like a FPS issue.

Also being from the EU and playing on East Coast servers (my clan is US based) I usually get between 90ms and 120ms but anything over 180-200 I feel a lot of input lag, meaning I need to mash the keys 2 or 3 times before my guy does what I want him to do.

yeah same here, I am so jealous of the guys with low ping

If you can stay under 200 ping, you'll be fine. Just allow more time for the bullet to travel from your rifle to the enemy and you're good. :thumbsup:
