Can’t play the game now. This seems to happen every day starting in the afternoon when the most people get on. It’s strange because my ping isn’t bad - its still in the 70-200 ms range. But everything stops moving, quickly catches up after 30-ish seconds, and I’m either dead or my party is. I’m not the only one experiencing it either - frequent disconnects from dungeons and the general inability to actually do anything.

The netcode, and the latency that comes from it, has become an unbearable issue. I’m on Orsha, and both starting areas and areas around Fedimian are so laggy that I cannot have fun playing anymore.
Look, I play the Archer class mainly. Multi-shot needs to be charged for it to be useful.
In normal play conditions, I will have achieved level 10 charge on multi-shot by the time the charge bar is filled. That usually takes 1-2 seconds in lower latency.
In these laggy conditions, by the time the charge bar is full, I have a level 1 charge. I have to sit in one place for LITERALLY five seconds to get a full level 10 charge.
That’s unacceptable, and it cuts my damage output (and kiting safety) way down. And what does that do? IT MAKES THE GAME NO FUN TO SPEND ANY TIME ON.
I love all the RO throwbacks, but I can’t continue playing until this lag is fixed. Fixing the netcode and optimizing the game should be #1 priority at the moment. None of the other stuff matters until the game is playable.
Still laggy. Still not fun. Still can’t play my leveled characters. Time spent on current characters is pointless. I like the game, but everything about the lag is destroying any positive gameplay experience.
Please ACKNOWLEDGE and ADDRESS this issue PUBLICLY with a PLAN TO MOVE FORWARD WITH FIXES. Else your past, present, and future communities will disperse for other games. Not everyone is going to be as nice as I am being, and others will just disappear because their time is better spent elsewhere.
I’ll check back into ToS in a bit. but Overwatch comes out today. At least that’ll help me move on from this crippling Orsha ToS lag.
Just so IMC / everyone knows I’m not just here to spread vitriol, I came on today to say: The latency around Orsha today (05/24) is quite low today. Maybe it’s because Overwatch is out, but I’d like to think that’s not the real reason. All that really matters is that skills like Multishot are working as intended at the current moment.
