XR500 Noob, Ping Assist, I'm slightly confused
I just purchased the XR500 on 9/March/2019, please bear with me.
While using "Ping Assist" lets just say I slide it to 30. Does this mean that EVERYONE who enters the game will have a ping ...

Hi there - good question. Ping Assist will allow any connection below your 30ms through from outside your Geo-Filter range to connect to you. This means they could be chosen as the host of the game, but equally another host might be chosen.
This page explains all of this in more detail, including some tips: http://support.netduma.com/en/support/solutions/articles/16000087579--dumaos-optimal-settings-guide-ping-assist
