Why didn't Azura lag yesteday?

BigTone

It frustrates me so much. This game's PvP is so much fun when it is actually working. There have been epic battles, both won and lost, during prime time battles with three pop locked factions over the last emp keep, scrolls, you name it. But when the game lags as it did last night, these battles do not come down to skill or organization, it comes down to the luck of the draw or who plays the lag mechanics better. The fact that I have to inform group members to "Jump off the top of the keep because doors wont work" or "only use insta-cast abilities or you will get stuck in the animation" is just sad. God help my if I try to use proxy, I now walk in slow motion mimicking a freaking bird. Or if I try to cast frags and swirl my hands in the air for five minutes. I know this drum has been beaten to death, but I don't understand how it has been allowed to get this bad.

@NPK Daniel We should get full groups together at some point, send out a sacrifical lamb from each side, and have 24 meteors go off from each side simultaneously.

It won't accomplish anything, but it would be a lot of fun to record!

Can we announce where/when? I'd love to watch and /applause

And maybe throw a few dawnbreakers in too

@Crown I don't run with Daniel but I'll be the test subject. Just expect some of those to be reflected back We have to test to see if reflecting meteors causes more lag

How about Friday evening (GMT-4)? We'll see how the map looks, pick a spot that's convenient, and get every person we can possibly find from all factions to set a representative, everyone else can ONLY light attack each other to get ults up.

The three representatives move forward. At the stroke of the next round minute (00 seconds) everyone casts meteor at the same time on their target of choice (among the three - or rather two from opposing factions).

The one who is alive longest wins!

Tbh I dont think meteors themselves causes most of the lag. If you cast them without lag they just fall. The problem is when latency is already up, casting it repeatedly will make matter worse (same with dk SoM). Considering that of the 10 meteors animation you see only 1 truely hits people could still use it intelligently.

TOTALLY DOWN. I bet we can get a red team there too! LOL IF ZOS won't address the issue, we'll see what 75 meteors all at once does....hehehe!

Bro you missed it in Had. One of our friends was in position for emp, the battle at Alessia was top 10 ever for me personally. Something like 20-30k ap from one castle capture.

I was grateful someone asked us to leave Azura...lol


Can we just restart the freaking servers everyday? Yesterday, amazing, one day latter, back to the same BS servers...
