Is ping limit ignored in Fortuna?

[Riger82]

Question is in the title. I have gotten 3 HORRID lag hosts in the last 5 profit takers I've done. In the last one I had a full 2 seconds of lag. My chroma was literally dying because the game wasn't reading me moving out of fire.

Without lag I don't drop more than once, and then only if the 'allies' completely ignore the beacons I can't get to quick enough and the jackals and spiders start spawning. With 2 seconds of it I only managed 28% damage and died 4 times. What's the point of the ping limit if it doesn't limit the ping of the host you join?

I think in this case it's about ping being good in-lobby and when people load into fortuna their VRAM and CPU get hit like a truck and they start having performance lag instead of net lag.

I thought its just me. Ingame indicator showed ping around 100-150, but lagged like crazy with spontaneus locking away mounting AW weapon. Happened randomly.

That may be. I've had hosts that don't lag. And I've been host with no lag to my team. It's just incredibly irritating to die because the host has a potato. If its my fault, its my fault. But if I die because of something I can't control...

Ping and how fast the hosts inet is are two differently things entirely.. 

I myself been crying about this for months. I want some item in options I can enable to always be placed as host.

And then you play every second game solo, if everyone activate this option? xD

I'm going to agree with Auto up there. I had it happen a few more times, but always only after the spider fight starts. So I'm gaining massive ping because of someone's potato.
