How to fix high ping in VALORANT

VALORANT isn’t without its issues—and high ping is one of them.   Ping in online video games refers to internet latency. It’s the time it takes for your connection to register a command via the server. In this case, the VALORANT servers.  An unreliable wireless connection, a large number of active users, and an abundance of background applications act as an obstruction between the connection and can, in some cases, cause your ping to spike. This issue was addressed by Dave Heironymus, VALORANT’s technical director, last year. “The biggest problem is

LS says League ‘solo queue at high MMR is dying because there’s no collaborative content possible’

League of Legends solo queue is a topic that’s been the main point of many players’ discussions. People complain about it a lot and the scope of the criticism is wide, from poor matchmaking to long queue times. And now, popular former League caster LS has decided to put his two cents into the conversation.  “Solo queue at high MMR is dying because there’s no collaborative content possible and pro players can’t play with each other,” LS said during one of his recent streams with Nemesis. “They can’t stream, can’t

Apex Chronicles aren’t perfect, but they’re worth revisiting

Finding a new way to tell a story doesn’t make it a good way to tell a story. At the same time, that doesn’t mean there isn’t anything good to take away from the exercise. The story of Apex Legends is much like the game itself: twisting and turning, never wanting to be pinned down, and evolving into something similar, but at the same time new. Just as new legends, guns, maps, and game modes fundamentally change the way people play the game every season, Respawn continually switches up the

Team SMG parts ways with kpii heading into next Dota 2 season

Damien “kpii” Chok is on the move again, parting ways with Team SMG after just six months with the organization.  Since forming at the start of the year, SMG has gone through several iterations. Management has changed up the roster twice since the start of the 2021 Dota Pro Circuit, where the team had mixed results early. TI marks the end of a season, and with that, we say thank you and farewell to @kpiidota. It's been a fun run. If anyone could play on high ping and still won

New World servers with the lowest population/wait time

The hype levels for New World were already through the roof before release. Considering the multiple betas, most players were counting days to return to Aeternum. The turnout was even larger than expected, however, and servers even had a hard time when it came to keeping up with the demand. Some of the popular servers were so full that players who wanted to log in needed to wait for hours. Getting stuck in a queue for extended periods won’t be ideal for most players since spending your time playing New World will always sound

What are world sets in New World?

When you load up New World for the first time, you’re met with a list of regions, worlds, and something called world sets.  World sets differentiate worlds and will ultimately be used to merge them in the future. If a world has a low population—if absolutely necessary—Amazon will merge two or more worlds that share a world set into one. You’re currently allocated two character slots per region and are restricted to using separate world sets. Amazon is aiming to find a balance and prevent players from clogging up the
