Jemila, you clearly don't understand Korean PvP games and this is your frist Rodeo with one.

All in all I get a little over 200ms, nothing like you are claiming with 350+. Only people who get that is people who live on the West coast of Australia and unfortunately, you are wasting your breath if thats the case.

Everyone I know is sitting around the 180 - 220 mark on the East coast of Australia. So in all seriousness, while there is still lag here, it is nothing like you claim it to be and nothing new to us that we haven't experiened in the past 20 years.

Now you keep linking stuff and spouting off (most of us have been in your shoes, 10+ years ago), the rest of us will enjoy the game.

Video link of latency east coast was on page 1. Uploaded by me that shows the fluctuation of the client from 240-400, the same video shows two ping tests. Not a claim, video evidence.

This is nothing new for you? Oh! what other mmo have you played in the past where you attack as fast as your latency allows? What mmo was this that latency scaled directly with performance?

Guess I missed that MMO :( Was it good? Someone should tell Enmasse, because they are putting some pretty big emphasis on this style of combat.

Also hell no, I would love a west coast server but it wouldn't be worth leaving Australia for it haha. You would have to be crazy to leave this country for anything short of nuclear war.

I'm sure you will enjoy being at unavoidable disadvantage, don't care and will enjoy the game. The community needs casuals who are easily pleased, you after all make up a large part of the community. So I say good for you! /pat No I mean that :) Means you have no issue or concern, so you got one up on me there!

EDIT:
P.S. I would love to see your 180-220ms latency video to Tera.exe under resource monitor while playing the game. I mean you did just attack the credibility of my claim. Record your 180-220ms stable to prove yourself. Perhaps the 240ms to chicago + flucuating latency is just me. I would love to know how these "everyone you know" are getting Los angeles ping times in chicago(180ms) ingame!

Here is link again of a recording of what you say isn't happening.

hell I just tested it again like on first page. Today I am getting 240-430. It flucuates but averages at 330, then settles down to 240-250 then spikes up to 400-430 and sits on 300+ for 3-5 min etc. then back down to 240-250.

What proxy tunnel is "everyone you know" using to reach 180-220ms in chicago from Australia, in game watching it visibly through resource monitor playing game in window mode :)

maybe you can help me out here :D

Look forward to hearing from you :)

None of us are using proxies for this game, none of us have used one since Aion seeing the coding from the network teams for routing paths has been pretty much A1 lately, Rift was also.

For starters, if you haven't already, as a Oceanic player, you would be famaliar with doing a reg edit for disabling nagles algorithum, if you are not famaliar with it, google it.

What other MMO have I played were latency effected my attack speed? Let me ask you this, was WoW your first MMO?

your latency is not going to effect your animation speed. This is something you should of done research on before claiming there was attack speed. There is no auto attack in this game, therefor no need for attack speed.

steps to follow:
1. Get a Green Card.

2. Move to a nice city in America

3. ???

4. Profit!

All this can be done in the name of Tera. When your quest is complete you will be rewarded.

@Taemek, there is a relationship between attack speed and animation speed. What this game doesn't have, is a proper method of queuing inputs (or spells or attacks, whatever you want to call them). You can try this yourself, use a spell and use an other before the first one ends. It won't cast it after the other. When you use a spell, for example "Arrow" (archer's left click), it'd take ping ms before you initialize the attack. And if you want to use an other attack after that, you'd have to wait the ping ms before you will attack again PLUS the attack animation cooldown or self-stun for some spells of the previous. Chaining spells using the channing skills system simply ignores the animation cooldown/self-stun, that's where you're seeing your results.

Other games, most games, do not have this problem because it queues the user's inputs so that the server knows what you're doing next.


I'm stopping midway because I gotta go.

Jemila, you ninja changed your post the second I went to reply and your issue is this, holding down your left click mouse button, is not attack speed, the animation generated is your attack speed and latency does not effect this, the latency effects the talking from computer to server. You click, it tells the server to execute.

Now, apart from this, your 5 page thread is a complete moot point because you clearly do not understand how attack speed OR animation speed works in this game and using games like WoW to fuel your argument pretty much tells us how clueless you really are.

Animation speed dictating attack speed is a common thing in Asian MMORPG's. The only thing latency effects here, is your reaction time, now using what we know, the time it takes a human being on average to react to something when anticipating it, is roughly between 60 - 90ms, depending on individual. In all seriousness, when you think about it like that, anticipating something and reacting to it in 60 - 90ms, vs your 250 ms........really?

How about you beta test more and learn about the game before coming here ranting about stuff you know nothing about using pingtests and resource manager data to form an argument around something that didn't even fit into the context of your argument.......

Let us get something straight here, there is no attack speed in this game, there is Animation speed and again, the only thing that determines your animation speed is your computer and if its a poor computer it will FPS lag, latency has nothing to do with your animation lag because the second the skill is executed, it executes the animation.

The entire game revolves around animation speed, period.
