My point is that important data like that can be conveyed in an accessible way while not making it a part of the gameplay HUD.


Like I said, lag is important in EVERY online game, especially any competitive one. To act as though Era needs the information more than other online games is silly. You can't play the same with 4 bars as you would with 3 because you can't win a confrontation where you don't have the first chance(aka someone with 4 bars can run and gun, someone with 2-3 bars will need to flank and surprise).

To act as though Era is the only game online where ping is so important it needs to be larger than your actual health in your hud is silly.


it's too bad era's connection isn't even close to being as good as cod (i realise the host system is different, but the connection is still better). on cod u can easily find matched under 50ping for any gametype and at any time of the day, on era a large part of ther playerbase can't go under 150ms even if they buy the best internet on the market
