Re: New updates are unlike A3 servers
Why this post? If you are not active in-game then why express opinions on what's going on in the server.....? Its not about offending, its about speaking to the point and leaving. You keep spamming every topic, even though you are offline most of the time.

Re: Gameplay Updates?
So as per your definition, gameplay is all about potting fast and spamming skills? That's foolish to begin with.forever wrote: ↑Sun Nov 12, 2017 1:00 amMany of my friends at ping lower than 30ms used to rock in Arena 2. Now even they cant do a shit! This is the thing that pissed me off. People with lower ping and good gameplay used to ''rule'' any war. But now they cant just because of your foolish decision on putting potting limits to HP and MP.
An average person can press a key 4 times in a second. That's about 250 milliseconds for each keypress. So even if you have 30millisecond network latency or 250 millisecond network latency, it won't really matter. Network latency is only important if you are able to keypress once every millisecond. In that case, if you have a network latency of 30ms, you can pot approximately (1000ms/30ms=) 33 times every second, which is clearly a hack. Moreover with such a fast potting, you are placing the servers under intense load.
Latency should never be the deciding factor since it's never under someone's control. With the cooldown and rate limiting updates, the latency factor is almost negligible now, giving everyone a fair chance.

Re: New updates are unlike A3 servers
Arena 2 was mostly never about gameplay. Most wars in arena 2 were ND based where people just had to pot ''properly'' in order to survive. That's it. Gameplay of any character is visible in PvP matches and maps like Grnita Park, where war tests each aspect of every character. I don't know whether you are aware of it or not, but latency is most deciding factor of any war or pvp, even if it is not someone's control. Your initiative of Cooldowns and rate limiting updates only helps those who face bad latency due to network issue or distance from server, that too to a little extent otherwise even ''they'' face problems. And most of the time it is the server that lags.

Re: New updates are unlike A3 servers
Read my message carefully. I explained the scenario in which latency is the most deciding factor and it's clearly a hack. Network latency will become an issue only when you are potting or spamming skills so fast that your network is the only remaining factor which slows it down. This is definitely NOT normal. So if you are potting 4 times a second, it doesn't matter if you are having 1ms network latency or 200ms network latency.

Re: New updates are unlike A3 servers
Most people press F1 + 1 , try for yourself how many times can you pot
And this was fine when potting limits did not matter, now they matter a lot

Re: New updates are unlike A3 servers
How many times? 33 times a second? That's the number based on your less than 30ms network latency. That's impossible.

Read my message carefully. I did not say 33 times a second! And I know that is impossible.

Re: New updates are unlike A3 servers
Then how do you justify this?
Even if you pot 10 times a second, you will still be fine with 100ms latency. That's the worst case. Take into account server load, your pc performance, DirectX Input latency, keyboard type and network jitter. It will take more than 100ms for a single pot for sure. In that case how does your "30ms or less for awesome potting" argument stand true if there is no foul play involved?

Re: New updates are unlike A3 servers
No foul play involved. Only one question: Can any character ''now'' tank other people like before, even if all the conditions like latency are kept the same?

Re: New updates are unlike A3 servers
Not with your 30ms logic. The update was to curb that in the first place. If you are able to tank someone without any foul play involved, then you can do the same now also.
