Sync, after all is connection quality. Connections aren't a black or white thing, they have lots of gray when it comes to speed and lag.
Can the sync "exclamation point" be replaced with some sort of "quality bar" type display?

What exclamation point? If you mean the yellow sign next to games in the lobby, that's when hosts are using the hole punching method (iirc). It doesn't mean they're a bad host or anything. =P
PS: It can be turned off in the options.

he means the "delayed synch response from playerX" message.
that takes too much space in the game chat sometimes.

Or maybe he didnt understand what sync meant, thought it was ping and wanted a ping bar, all of this happening on the game lobby, making all of you wrong

a bar is good. But I would like the option to place the real ms behind it.
Just for ppl who do understand it

a ping bar would be nice post about it in the gui thread in the development forum.

and dont get me wrong, i dont mean ingame. i like the ping to stay via number ingame. i mean in the lobby. or maybe add teh ping # in the lobby near sync.
and if you think this needs to get moved to the development forum, move it there please.
