It’s that time again that the server (Telsiai) is horribly lagging. I usually tend to ignore this and bear with it until it’s gone but recently, I’ve made a CryoKino myself and have been greatly affected by it. A few days ago, when the lag wasn’t there, my Ice Wall + Psychic Pressure combo melts those low level mobs/bosses away. Even in a duel, people do get hit and frozen by the shards as soon as it hits them.
And now that the server is lagging, whenever I try to use my Ice Wall shards to deal damage to my enemies, it just PASSES THROUGH. Yes. PASSES THROUGH. Even if the enemy is just in front, the shards won’t deal any damage. If they are farther in the back, it will only deal very minimal damage. To add more things up, the Ice Wall lasts more than 15 seconds which is pretty useless if it can’t deal any damage at all. With all this happening to me, I asked someone on my friend list to see if it’s only bugged on my end and she sent me this:
As you can see, the Ice Wall only lasts for 15 seconds and has a 65-second cooldown but it’s almost ready to be used again on her screen despite still being on the field as the useless wall it is due to this lag. This only means that the Ice Wall lasts for more than 50 seconds due to said lag.
She also mentions her Ice Wall shards rarely hit which is pretty annoying as it’ll be our only good “DPS” in dungeons aside from Ice Pike (well in my case that is). I might upload a screenshot later on if this doesn’t suffice when I get home but this is just real terrible. A few diggings on reddit showed people are having the same problems as well.
Tl;dr My concern is why is Ice Wall so sensitive to server lag to the point it becomes really useless whenever this lag strikes? By useless as in it doesn’t deal any damage. It’s really a pain to 1v1 Denoptic without Ice Wall because I’ll be only relying on Ice Pike and my normal attacks.
Oh and before “those people” come in and tell me to “stop playing until lag goes” and “deal with it”, don’t bother. I am merely just telling IMC what other problems occur during the server lag and hoping they fix it somehow.
