So I play on ps4, I'm wired into my modem and have need have a problem with any other game with lag. Questing and dungeons are lag free, it's only when I do any kind of pop, being 1v1 or 30v30 I always get major lag and drop outs. I'm in australia
yes, lag will be related to the huge data load on the larger events. You will find this noticable in cities at peak times as well.
a 400ms latency is not even the cause (although this will influence your ability to effectively 1v1 PvP and PvE tank in an otherwise low data setting), its actual amount of data that needs to be sent when there is a lot of activity locally in game.
Everyone knows the phenomenon of trying to hold your breath underwater - how at first it's alright and you can handle it, and then as it gets closer and closer to the time when you must breathe, how urgent the need becomes, the lust and the hunger to breathe. And then the panic sets in when you begin to think that you won't be able to breathe - and finally, when you take in air and the anxiety subsides...that's what it's like to be a vampire and need blood.
