It is true that I have played many games with Aussie players and with players above 300 ping without having any trouble.  Because the game is peer-to-peer, you don't notice any lag.  I'm not saying that the game doesn't occasionally run very slowly for some reason, I'm just saying that it is unrelated to the ping of a player, as far as I can tell.

Your best bet, is to just to keep waiting until the proxy servers get started up. Go make some friends in Aussieland you can play with as well. Also, make a thread asking if Aussie Demigod players would like to plan some Aussie-only games together.

And, uh, btw... calling Americans ignorant is NOT going to help your situation any better. All races and nations of people can be ignorant, not just Americans. So by your logic, me being American, is it possible for me to assume that Australians are as dumb and shortsighted as you are? Think outside the box and try fixing things rather complaining about a few instances. Do as I said above and maybe you will get a better time out of Demigod.

Point is, it isn't just Australians having this problem, even Americans are getting this problem too. So don't be calling out Americans when YOUR problem is easily fixable.

You make a good point, but I don't think you want the first thing people read to be: "To all the ignorant Americans." You might want to change the title of the post to avoid being flamed.

Just a suggestion.

My advice: you can't change your ping, so work with what you've got.  As soon as you get in the lobby, make a hillarious joke, and comment that you realize your ping is high but you make up for it with a very fast pc, etc.  Make some conversation, make it so they don't want to kick you.  You aren't the prettiest girl in school so you gotta work for it, strut your stuff.

It's true ping means very little in this game until its in the 400's, in fact I dont even see why people post "US WEST COAST" and such, when I'm sure there is no one with more than like a 150-200 ping even the complete opposite side of USA. High pings may be scary, but since the US has the biggest customer base, especially at the moment, they need to be more accomodating to other countries since making an Aussie game and waiting 100 hours just to get a 3v3 going due to lack of people not even connectivity issues, is a royal pain

OP well said.

because we be representin'

WEST SIDE!!

I never host and I'd feel bad kicking anyone... however, every game I've played where someone had a ping of 250+ always ended up playing very choppy.  Most of the time they dropped out mid way as well.  Some of those were rage quits, but I think most were connection problems.

I'm not saying high ping always constitutes a laggy game and I believe what you said about the netlag.  However, just from my experience, playing with a high ping fella ended up in bad games.

is his talk of netlag true? and the numbers he uses?

In my experience, Australians and Singaporeans can play in each other's games fine, if that helps. You'll welcomed to join. Hell, I had a game with someone from Holland yesterday (and I'm from Singapore). The game was in slow mo but there wasn't any spike lag. We proceeded to have almost a full game; we surrendered after getting utterly creamed so as not  to waste time.  

I always find Australians calling someone else ignorant amusing!

Visit Australia - the land where they don't have any toilets for 3000 miles...

Everyone knows, Australias have much bigger pings than Americans    But you should play with their pings regaurdless to be a good sport.  And stop kicking their pings, it's very hurtful. 

True.

Also, American aren't the only ignorant ones. I have been kicked from EU and Aussie games numerous times.
