Syncing and Lag Issues in PvP

Bigdavo

Anyone else getting extremely frustrating sync and lag issues in PvP that rarely occur in PvE, I know I'm not the only one because I've talked to a bunch of people on my server. However I want to get the consensus here.

I realise that with ranged attacks you must make sure you've aimed at your target, however there are times when it misses regardless, even when your target is right in front of you and not sidestepping. Of course some attacks do miss but firing a volley of 3-4 different ranged attacks and nothing!?

Then there is melee, when your target is standing still no problem... when he starts moving it becomes frustrating and the cleanliness of a good PvP fight flies out the window with some desperate button-mashing hoping your attacks hit. On my screen I can see my target in melee range and I am aiming at him but nothing happens, then all of a sudden my attacks start to hit, then they suddenly stop hitting again. It's this on/off nonsense that is driving me crazy, it ruins a good fight.

There is definitely some sort of Syncing issue involved, so my question to you guys is - Do you experience it as well? and when are they going to 'Tuggin' FIX it!? I really like this game but this issue is foremost on my 'needs improvement list'.

I have no problems with that what so ever.. you might wanna check if you are on the correct servers? (The EU or US ones.. US is hosted by acclaim, so if you are in an EU country, this might be the problem) or else maybe there is something with your connection?

Oh there are lag issues so it isn't just him. I also believe it is server lag and not just the persons latency. I have friends on the west coast and they get it and I am on the east coast and I get it.

hmm thats weird.. you might wanna send an email to someone from the acclaim team?

oh wait! I just rememberd something.. in the one before the last webinar, this was brought up by someone... and they did reply to it.. not sure what but someting as in:"we are goign to look into it" etc... still.. it might be the best if you send a ticket or post something..
