Yes i can. Everyone had a equal chance this is what is called a random sample and whether you got your key at the start of the week or the end you were allowed to participate in the survey.

This ^, and i got an extra key before the end of the beta and gave to a friend from Canada, she only played on last day with me since she was busy with work, but she answered the survey.
Hopefully, They set up SEA server.
Which server open first. I will go to that one.
I need to play it alot.

I had 250+ ping with my OP ethernet (which gives me less than 10 ping in any other games in SEA).
I believe itâs because iCBT is in NA thatâs why. We are directly connecting to the NA one.
SEA has the most
@MelioettaZyguard
SEA had a lot of RO players at one point or another, it makes sense.
That being said⌠I really would prefer that they just reduce the effect on lag.
Lag shouldnât need to get in the way of solid controls.
i want South America pls? 
i am from argentina but i still can play with lag in north 
Not according to IMCs numbers.

Ikr, this people pulling info from non official forums rofl. Go to spanish/latin american forums and youâll prolly get 2k+ latin american players easily.
Unless its God decide to change the laws of physic then no, there will be lag no matter where due to the distance.
Thatâs unrelated to what I said.
Whether there is lag or not, the game can be made in a way that the controls and responsiveness of my character is not influenced by lag whatsoever.
Only if its single player, theres no way you wont get lag if the game depend on internet connection, unless you live on the side of the server physical location and have a wire plugged on their network switch.
Lag is only problem on their end if:
- The Server (machine) have some problem.
- One or more factors inside their internal network (Lan) is causing problems. Ex.: Bad wires, bad network card on some computer plugged on the lan, or a switch/hub with problem.
Now if you are saying that you felt that the game controls gave you a feeling of lag on the input, well i cant say what it could be, but on my end here, it did work perfectly fine on my Xbox360 controller, i didnt used mouse/keyb control, except for some basic stuff like buying in the shop, equipping items or to chat.
Itâs not about not getting lag.
Itâs about the lag not affecting control feedback.
Fairly commonplace in many multiplayer games.
The cause (commonly) is that latency, at the time (and currently) affects your attacks in ToS.
It doesnât need to, but it does. I would suggest changes be made so that my controls donât feel sticky because of latency.
Now tell me how? When you attack a monster or player, they are in a position on your screen, but the info on where they trully are is stored on the server-side, thats the basic of lag input (not counting weather and equipament conditions).
Everything on the game, as far as i know, is handled by the server-side, which is adopted by many companies to avoid cheats or exploits, its not perfect but it do solve many problems related to that.
If you want fast response only single player games will hand that to you, or when you are hosting a game (not in the case of ToS) localy.
Diablo III opened a server on Brazil this year (i think, last i played was close to the release date), my latency came down from 150+ to around 50, it did nicely, but my ISP or the host where the server is sometimes are unstable and the latency goes up to 300+ (this is mostly caused by wires or bad equipament, but on Brazilâs case the weather do its share too, specialy when its raining), now to the thing i wanted to talk about, this new server allowed BRâs to have low latency but we play separated from NA players, but we can play with them and they can play with us too, just one thing change on that, if i inv someone from there, their latency will increase, since the game is being hosted on Brazil, and if im invited my latency increase since the game is hosted on NA.
Summary, theres no way to lessen control lag if the moviments are being handled by the server, there are many MMOâs out there that when you get a lag spike, you still can control your char around, but whats the point on that since you arent hitting a thing, either the monster died or you died or you got dced.
My experience on PoE is frustrating because of that, how many times i had to start all over some areas or quests because the server decided to drop my connection randomly due to packet loss or something else? I lost the count on that.
Lol! Literally, barking at the wrong tree. And that quote is quite mysterious. The thrill is killing me.
A) Thatâs the point. If they really think this is sufficient reasoning, then I have nothing else to add.
Many would very much prefer that the character controls are managed by the client or whatever else they can come up with.
B) Fast response = single player games only? No, thatâs not true. No way is that true.
The explanation is as mentioned above, letting the client handle the character controls.
Almost every PvP multiplayer game in the world disagrees with that.
GW2âs responsiveness is also pretty rad, yo.
The connection problems are what they are and donât exactly disappear with what we have now.
C) Prevention of cheats/exploits could be done in many more ways, without being an issue for the player.
If IMC cannot or will not do that, thatâs up to them.
D) Lag spikes? If youâre getting that, then yeah, the solutions dwindle.
My problem isnât lag spikes. It is that even with my stable ping it is fairly uncomfortable, due to how high it is.
This is one thing that will never disappear from internet, not until someone come up with some good technology, or every country renew the actual equipament they have for something more stable, which i highly doubt they will do due to the cost.
Now lets say that all the internet system on the world was working just fine, no bad equipament, wires and what not, even tho, due to the physical distance still have delay, why? The answer is, the actual method of link, the wires that are used, at least most of them, and not even taking into the equation the satellites, work on eletric pulses, its not light speed, so the distance have influence on the whole system.
Now take a look at my connection, from my home to GW2 official website:
Now, as i said on other post of mine, my latency on GW2 is generaly around 250ms, im not sure where is the physical location of the server i chose to play, West Coast or East Coast, but by the latency i get i would take its East, otherwise it would be higher latency.
Now i ask you, is there really a necessity of that route? My answer for that i got a while, but still, my ISP in particular dont invest in infrastructure, i would take many dont, my ISP is from Spain, they bought a company from this region a couple of years ago.
Im not sure, it maybe have places with even worse routing out there, not to count that, if some routes pass through China, then whoever need it is fked to no end, if it still like some years ago i mean, i heard China apply some heavy filtering on their connection, not sure if still the same tho.
By the way, i tried do a traceroute to www.creativelabs.com (im used to access like that even tho it redirect to us.creative.com) and it send my connection to Asia, maybe its where the redirection system is. Not sure tho.
@nando20xx
THanks for the read, but what does this have to do with what Iâm talking about?
If youâre still lost on what I said, Iâll clarifyâŚ
I am not asking them to make latency go away or have no effect.
Itâs good, responsive controls which simply means making the control feedback, at least, client-sided.
Itâs something that can be made to happen, regardless of the presence of lag.
I know what you mean, but on online games no matter what kind of control they provide, if the info still need to go to the server to be validated, we will have lag response on controls, unfortunately its our techonological reality.
Just to make sure im not saying any kind of stupidity, is there any game that can do that actualy? So far from the ones iâve played (either MMOâs or multiplayer) none provided a precise method, i cant say PoE have a good one since my latency is not good for the new Lockstep Mode, so i cant say for sure if its a good way to prevent lag or delay on controls.
@nando20xx
You do know that damage feedback and control feedback are different, right?
The idea is to NOT need to confirm the information for the controls before it happens by letting the client handle it.
This actually doesnât need to happen with the controlsâŚ
I donât think any of these actually sends the control information rather than something to do with the action related⌠but hereâs a few examples of online games with solid controls.
PSO2, GunZ, S4 League, GW2(maybe, canât recall), Vindictus (I canât recall for this one, but should be), CS:GO, etc.
