I’m in a pretty big dilemma here. I in Klaipeda with a lv250 warlock and i’m scratching my head on whether I should transfer to SEA server as i’ll most likely get 50ms. compared to my 250-300ms in Klaipeda as I am from Malaysia.
I’m concerned about 2 things really… The community in SEA server and the lifetime of it. At the moment I’m really enjoying the community in Klaipeda (BR rants, Trump greatness and gold spam aside) and I feel that a community is probably one of the most important aspects. But ping for optimized gameplay is also a plus.
What do you guys think? Did any of you have the same problem and are scratching you heads like I am now?
TL;DR - Can’t choose between a nice community and ping (from 300ms to 50ms), Help meh.
Ping > Retards
Just stay
Stay in klaipeda? Cause my good ping will be in telsiai.
Wizards don’t need good ping do they? Stay Kapleida.
ok, sure, 50ms is better than 300ms, obviously.
but… does 300ms actually affect your play in any noticeable way?
i played at a ~400ping for a time, while i had a bunch of downloads running, and i really didn’t notice it at all.
but i was idle when i checked ping, too. maybe it was just a random bad ping.
so honestly, how big is the actual effect?
For a wizard it is fine with only a 0.5sec delay in skills and my autoattack being choppy. But when i move on to the other classes, but my first autoattack is always an empty shot and the damage only applies 1 sec after i hit. So yea… Its pretty substantial for all classes that is non-wizard.
With this 300ms i basically cant play the other 3 classes and am stuck with wizard (not complaining cause i love my ele3warlock <3)
only class that rely on auto attack needs low ping
skill spammer or those who rely on skills to dps dont really need to rely on ping even if its 450ms (but it’ll be bad if its 600~1200ms)
swordsman - autoattack shows 2 swing but registers the 2nd swing
wizard - autoattack end swing animation stays for a few millisecond or 1 sec (till the projectile is halfway to the target)
archer - delayed attack but not like wizard so pretty okay
cleric - same as swordsman 2 swing but only the 2nd is registered
