Any fix for Elf Ranged Lag yet?
Comments
Whatever you say, honey.
I'd consider myself drop dead gorgeous, actually.
But thanks for the compliment.
If the fix worked, that means the issue was real. It might not be "lag", but it's an "issue." At this point you're arguing just for the sake of arguing and will end up getting this thread locked because you're flame baiting super hard right now.
People did attack you at the start which isn't cool. Then people came in with what pretty much says "Hey they is 95% an issue" and you continue to deny it. I snapped, but that's mostly because people who blatantly ignore or twist facts/findings in their favor will drive a scientist wanting publication like me insane.
A 'sorry' from me ain't gonna fix anything, so I won't bother with it.
This is just a massive slap in the face to EVERYONE who has this issue and begging rebuttal from them. You're asking for people to attack you, and you need to stop that.
I don't run 50 programs in the back, have an average system, or need to be told to soft reset stuff. And I have elf lag. Just because something doesn't happen to you, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. You've had this mentality with other stuff and it needs to stop. Seriously.
He's telling you to stop being 100% narcissistic.
Weather it's some kind of internet lag or not doesn't really matter, it's still a problem that hasn't ever been addressed, you can't experience the problem on a human, as i already explained before, humans do not have this tiny glimpse of animation lag that is apparent on elves. This issue was also much less of a problem before the combat revamp due to how smooth everything was with the loading skills, the game never cancelled out your skills on cooldown because there was never a cooldown, instead it waits until the skill is ready to be used again (grayed out maybe, waiting to be used but not cancelling it) however whenever that animation lag decided to clog everything for some unknown reason, it was still apperant all the same, it's not that oftenly reported since it doesnt happen that way commonly and most people shrug it off too due to how rare and unusual it is.
This issue happened to me quite a lot of times when i played, i dont doubt it happens to others too, more often than not i had a lot of useless services disabled for the sake of running mabi better, even then that issue still happened. You can't blame this issue on the player forever when it commonly happens when players use a certain skill.
To be honest I am out of Kleenex and I should go buy some. I've given up on this being productive for anyone in any sense, seeing how we're both apparently too hard set to look at the same figure in the same way and that nothing new is ever going to be posted here as it can't.
And ya know what? You really know how to use that troll face ironically while not being ironic at all.
I haven't actually experienced the elf lag as an elf that is mentioned, but I usually don't aim while running and try to shoot a mob while still moving. I tend to do archery as if playing a human, but I'm not certain if that matters.
There is that issue I usually have while rafting and I attempt casting thunder or any spell actually. I'm usually frozen in that position for some time with the spell ready to go. So I end up being stuck til I'm hit ,use shockwave , or attempt canceling the skill. I've also tried doing archery as a human while rafting with a similar result. (I was curious if it was only magic with the issue)
I'm not sure if this is a normal thing, but I feel like it relates to the topic a little bit.
Also I'm sorry, I tried explaining the best I could..
I tried many other things too, since I wanted to really know just how fast I was reacting.
All of my actions, such as gestures, using rest and similar, were instant, with no delay of any kind.
I could swap weapon slots multiple times in a second.
Even the use of magic was a lot smoother than I recall before the upgrade.
Overall, the only lag I generally notice in normal gameplay is server lag.
But then I put on that bow and played around with it for a while...
...and was reminded why I hate archery in this game.
Even with the upgrade to internet speed, I still notice this "Elf Lag" every now and again.
Sometimes more than others, most likely from server lag.
If anything, I am mostly curious about the inner workings of this "lag".
Especially since I'll be ignoring archery with chain whips right around the corner.
Already got that Sniper title anyway.
Are you saying that "elf lag" isn't an issue, or are you saying that it's a myth because it's not technically "lag", but some other problem?
I guess since it's not some FPS drop or connection stalling issue it's not lag. (I can certainly see the enemies perfectly fine as they get in some combat practice on my stuck self
At any rate, do you have more advice to help avoid getting this skill lockup?
Something's definitely gotta be better than my "don't use ranged attack as an elf" solution I currently use
Have you found out what's really going on?
Though, I guess that'd be hard if you aren't able to recreate the issue yourself...
You mentioned Windows Search Indexer here, and superfetch somewhere else.
Just Stop and Disable those services to cut down on background drain on your processor?
I'm not tech savvy myself, so if you've got some more recommendations.
I'm just grasping at straws, and hoping for some insight into the issue.
Something's gotta help.
This phenomenon -- whether it is dubbed some form or shape of lag, interference, packet loss, code inconsistency, redundancy, or anything you want to name it -- it is real without a doubt and even if you can fix it by modifying your game with mods or your OS by turning off services, the question I've always asked myself is this:
Why does this still happen? Especially if there's a magical cure like we're supposing there is, it would probably be best if instead of having every individual person solve the problem themselves, the game itself was made to bloody work properly like any other game.
I for instance know how to research things and usually deal with computer-related issues just fine because I've studied IT, but what about the rest of the crowd? What would a psychologist do? Or a construction worker? Point is, people here want to simply enjoy a game. A game that can not and has not dealt with not only this particular problem, but a plethora of other issues, yet we stand (or sit) here bickering about who's right or wrong about..what again?
I personally just want to bring attention to this issue and get a fix from an official source that we can trust, that is legal to use and makes the game feel as fair and balanced as game should generally be. Nothing wrong with that. So, can we focus on that? Or is there going to be some kind of disagreement with that statement again anyway?
I can finally eat my popcorns again.
I guess it's not likely you can help much if you can't actually replicate the issue on your end...
Oh I mean, don't worry.
All I have is guesswork on what the cause of my issue is, anyways.
But hey, if your case is anything to go by, you don't actually need that "thing" to not get this issue.
So there's that, at least!
Personally, I wouldn't categorize this as "lag" either, but I just wnet along with the name I guess.
My brother, an elf, and I were running Karu the other day and this happened to him while he was using ranged skills. We were confused and I hopped over to his room to see what was wrong and his character was just stuck there, unable to move or anything else for half a minute or so. He told me this has happened a few times before and only when he was training ranged skills.
I'm quite certain this problem is unrelated to our net as I was completely unaffected (and as a competitive star/tournament player for another game and publisher, I make sure we have the best and most stable; including port forwarding, Ethernet cables, and even manually disabling Nagle's Algorithm for this game) and I don't believe it has anything to do with his hardware or poor management, as we both have top of the line PCs and always try to optimize the performance. I'm inclined to believe it is related to displacement lag as that seems to be the most reasonable explanation and I hope it gets addressed soon.
Top of the line PC's and good internet, how envious I am. I'd really like to do that in the future, when I am able to.
*drool* that's so coool *_* Playing on your guys' PCs must be amazing. Compared to my trash computer...
The way I've seen it explained on a certain other site, yes. Apparently there's a bunch of rapid-fire redundant packets elves have with archery that humans do not, and the ability to aim while firing is what people speculate they are for. I don't really notice trouble with "elf lag" when using other types of archery skills.
It's annoying when you're a lowbie because you'll be in the middle of trying to fire while some enemy rushes you, and suddenly find yourself unable to move while your enemy walks up and whacks you on the head. But like any game quirk, you eventually get used to it and forget it is there. I don't think it's given me significant trouble for years.
