0,18 ping but 45 seconds of delay when talking to NPCs

Well, I think most people are feeling the huge delays (15secs+) when trying to talk to NPCs, get quests, talk to statues, teleport to another area, etc. It isnt always like this, but it’s becoming more and more frequent now.

Thing is, I don’t think that it’s actually a latency problem. My girlfriend is playing beside me, using the same internet, our PCs have almost the same specs (mine’s a bit better, even) and she isn’t experiencing the nasty 15~30 seconds delay that I am.

I wonder if people with native ping are having trouble as well, and if something could be done, because the game is downright unplayable when it starts to lag like this.

Bump.

After killing a boss, I stood there waiting for my loot to get picked up, only to see it turn dark after a minute or so when it got picked up by someone else…

These delays don’t occur all the time, usually the game runs fine when I play during New Zealand daytime. However when I play during ungodly hours (aka when everyone else in the world starts playing), my character will pick up coins but not items for up to a couple of minutes (During this time, if people walk by I have to say bye bye to my items) while I continuously farm respawning mobs, my HP, MP and EXP potions will be consumed but will not recharge my HP, MP or EXP until around 30 seconds later (This made the boss fight mentioned above take even more time than necessary).

I also have the same problem with quests/statues and teleporting to a new area where things just don’t seem to respond for a while, even though I can move around and fight mobs around the map portal while waiting.

If this issue could be looked at and fixed it’d be greatly appreciated :<

I’m feeling that even if I move to the new Latin American server I’ll still experience these ridiculous delays.

I have amazing ping to the server but have the same insane delays constantly definitely bordering on unplayable.

It’s like people with better pings have more delay very strange issue.

#5

It’s amazing how coins will pick up automatically but items and potions take forever to register. I’m so confused.

#6

same here, playing from the uk decent ping, medium spec laptop, playing on low.

fps:10-20

sometimes I wait several seconds (10-40) before:
-npc texts show up
-pick up loot
-lvl up after reaching 100% exp
-quest item (V) activation
-telert from one map to another through portals

i think its because of how deceiving a single //ping check is compared to a steady stream of numbers updating themselves along with the FPS note on screen, then how some things seems to be managed in 2 different ways in terms of interaction: things that will always depend on a server-to-client check before proceeding (item usage, inventory update npc dialog and npc shop access) to some that are client-to-server priority such as pretty much everything involved in combat that doesnt depend on ‘placement’ like ground aoe and traps.

in eugeonio’s case could also be data flow priority if he and his dear girlfriend are sharing the same network

I thought of that too, but the way our setup is, I would be the one with priority on the network data, since I’m using dsl cable and she’s using wifi. So it still doesnt make sense.

Since people with native ping are experiencing this too I can guess it isn’t actually a latency issue then?
