Pings in this game makes a BIG difference.
Can we get a thread going where we compare a lot of skills being done with low ping and high ping? I think a lot of people have been asking how much it actually impacts the game and how viable certain builds and classes are so I think if we pool together some videos we could make some comparisons.
I posted my videos already in another thread already but I felt like a thread dedicated to this would be insanely helpful. I’d also suggest we post videos where the ping actually matters. For instance I doubt a Sorcerer needs a low ping at all since their pets do most of the work.
######Obviously their spell casting would be so much more reactive though, not to mention combat just feels more satisfying in ToS with a low ping.
Ping / Latency as Monk
For example, this isn’t possible to do with a ping higher than 100+. Your attacks wouldn’t register, and they would be super slow with a high ping. Note that this isn’t even a auto attack build, just a 0 cooldown skill spam build and there’s quite a few those in the game.
Low ping
High ping
The only major difference between these 2 players is their pings.
I hope this kind of makes people realize why I’m so enthusiastic about a local EU server for EU players, SEA servers for SEA players etc.
I could go deep into PvP effects but, I think you get the idea how that would go. Imagine just hitting someone in PvP and they walk away with no harm despite you using a skill right next to them.
How to Find Korean YouTube Videos
Easiest way is to google the filename (for example today is 20th of March so google “tos 03 20” will net you a ton of videos from today) Tree of Savior gives the videos. Most Koreans have low ping to their servers so they can act as low ping showcases. Most iCBT were playing with high pings and I’m also giving a shoutout to some of you still playing in kToS.
