Guys, I realize there are a lot of needless complaints from folks who don't know the difference between slow FPS and internet lag, but I think a large number of people (who typically don't have trouble) experiencing it on only one channel indicates a server-side issue.
That said, the easy answer is for everybody to change channels when not shopping/selling.
No, I'm aware it's on the wiki and I learned how to do it years ago for the lulz. But just because a webpage reports on it doesn't mean its legit. It always struck me as a "too good to be true" glitchey exploitey sort of thing, to the point where I haven't allowed myself to depend on it until recently. (Mainly because if it was a glitch, it could be "fixed" at any time.)
The reason the dan 3 test convinced me is it is the only way I can think of to do the test from a range. I always thought it was goofy how people would point blank enemies in their faces and then complain when they got roflstomped. (Because, for example, an elf can't use heavy armor without a significant damage disadvantage on archery.) I mean, if you wanna melee do melee, ya know? The game also provided enough tools that in most situations shot of god isn't needed, but the dan 3 test? You either have to SoG or point blank, and I really don't think archery was designed for the latter.
Some guildies helped me figure out why I was having so much trouble with Dan 3 magnum.
If you watch YouTube videos of people who succeed, you'll notice that their skills chain smoothly into each other, like sliding on ice.
My problem was every skill was followed up by a regular ranged attack, which I would waste precious seconds fighting off by mashing the skill I actually wanted on the keyboard. And while I was fighting with the computer on what skill I wanted loaded, I'd usually get kicked around like a soccer ball by multiaggro. Without my usual array of skills available, and trying to restrict myself to magnum as much as possible, I couldn't rack up the points. This isn't something that gives me trouble in the normal game either.
A guildie made the observation that regular ranged attack won't queue up if you fire your loaded ranged skill with the hotkey on the keyboard instead of the mouse, and I should try that. Suddenly my skills also chained together perfectly, smooth as butter.
Went from not being able to break 7k to easy 11400 just making only that change.
I know there has to be others having trouble, so if you use the mouse to fire ranged skills in normal combat, just remember this isn't normal combat. Fire with the hotkey. (I also made liberal use of "Shot of God".)
