Acceptable Ping for MP Games?

from Offworld Forums

After playing a bunch of single player games, I'm interested in at least attempting to not get embarrassed in a MP game or two. Thing is, I'm in Hawaii, which means my pings are probably pretty terrible to basically anywhere. What should I be looking for as an acceptable value that won't impact my ability to play the game?

In my experience the ping in the lobby is not a significant indicator of experienced lag once in the game. I've played games with hosts with over 200 ping without experiencing significant lag. I think the problem is if you start getting packet loss and end up several seconds behind. But I'm no network developer.
