and a way to turn it off

Ruben

Belaptir

actually, unless you click on local, all the people shown won't be determined by the radius you chose in your profile

Belaptir

so if you don't click on it, you'll be shown people from all around the world

@Ruben don't you prefer low ping to high ping? why turn it off?

Ruben

it doesnt matter for the ping right?

Ruben

i thought it was so you can meet up with people irl and play like that

Belaptir

it is intended for that, ruben

Ruben

but for the ping, you still use the same servers by nintendo

Belaptir

so, if you click on local, you'll be shown people around you, in a radius of X miles from where you live. If you click on online, you'll be paired with people around the world. For the ping tho, the thing is a bit more complex

Belaptir

first because depending on the game, you'll have dedicated servers or not

Belaptir

If you have dedicated servers, then it doesn't matter, the ping will be the same no matter who you are paired with because the ping will measure the communication time between you and a fixed server. If you don't have dedicated servers (right now all the games except f2p titles), then the ping depends on the distance between you and the rest of the players in the game (among other stuff, such as the quality of your connection)

coocola

fortnite uses dedicated servers right

Belaptir

yes

coocola

SF30th?

Belaptir

nope

Belaptir

RIght now, the rule is as follows: everything except fortnite, arena of valor and paladins uses p2p

coocola

thanks

coocola

I found someone yesterday within 56 miles, hopefully SF30th doesn't lag when we play
