I dont know of this has been requested on the forums before. But may we have a ping check implemented in Era for the players? For example "showping" . It gets very annoying in the spars or just in general areas people will accuse you of lagging or shaming your Internet speed. It would be a nice feature to detect your lag and also should prevent many many arguments to just simply compare pings with other players.
I still don't know why it's a staff only command. If you want to get a check done you can ask to /ping your account though.
Definitely agree with you on that one,it should really be a worldwide command for all players to use,because it really helps,especially when participating in events,etc.Quote:

I agree,because people accuse me of not being good at spar but i lag sometimes.
Theres a ping checker on classic.. I dont know why it cant be on era...
There also is a custom control size on classic (not a box with 'enlarge controls' but a real slider)Quote:

I agree, we should have the command, too.
the thing about ping checking on era is, it's not accurate at all. i'll be playing era with a ping of maybe 100 and then i'll log onto a tf2 server that has a server in the same location as era, and my ping will be like 20. so there'd technically be really no point in adding it.
A ping is how long it takes for a packet to be a sent to a certain server and sent back to you. Tf2 may have stronger speeds than era. Just saying.Quote:

There are a lot of kids on the server, and I'd like to say a majority of the players are very young. With that fact in mind, only the older players would probably use this.
Common misconception is that showap shows your ping
