has this been fixed?
this is keeping me from preorfering it is kinda of a dealbreaker for me with my 200-300 ms ping
Comments
anymore info on this?
is this being fixed?
are you a complete spaz? its TERA's version of latency lag. instead of porting around like you would in most other MMORPGs, your attack speeds is slowed down. KR tera is 400-500 ms for most, so 200 should be fine. try the latency fix as well. Also, you can clear every instance on hardest with 600 ms if you wanted to. the game is very easy. if you are concerned about pvp with high latency, well, you won't find any MMORPG where it's a viable option.
are you a moron? how can tera have a "version" of latency lag. latency is latency. no other games have their attack speeds affected by ping, everything is just delayed by your ping which is completely normal and doesnt kill gameplay.
why is attack speed even slowed down because of ping. i dont know what sort of system they are using but this is stupid. if korean games want to be successful outside of korea they need to realise that the rest of the world doesnt have LAN like latency.
it affects people with 200-300 ms ping as well. look at this video

this is just plain terrible and its a complete dealbreaker for those that cant get excellent connections.

That video is from a western player playing on a Korean server, of course the ping is going to be high. Tera NA has there servers located in Chicago and my ping from the west coast is 70.
~so yeah if you live in north america your good to go on the NA servers~
Velika: City of Wheels: Among the mortal races, the humans were the only one that never built cities or great empires; a curse laid upon them by their creator, Gidd, forced them to wander as nomads for twenty centuries...
i posted another video of an australian player playing on NA servers. same thing. (i live in australia btw)
apart from the slower attack speed the game is very playable with my ping. with battle ping i can get it down to around 190-230 (task manager ping).
why dont they fix the attack speed issue. it seems like a bug, the game should queue user input so it the server can execute it immediately just like every other online game out there. i shoot at the same rate with semi auto weapons on bf3 no matter how high my ping is because their netcode is good.
im was about to purchase the game but then i saw this issue and i dont think there is any point buying as i will be mianly playing for pvp. i can live with ~200ms delay, but lowering attack rate because of high ping is ridiculous.
