[Varena Lag] IMC support team don't even play their own game?

[Lozyness]

And that was the last reply I got, very informative, thank you IMC support team

This lag in Varena is just unbearable to play, is the server even physically located at Singapore ? It’s fine to have a small delay when accumulating the skill charges but when I can’t cast my abilities it just killed all my hype for the day

Sometimes when I cast Quick Cast my character became like this, just animation, that’s it, nothing comes out, this happens when I cast Magic Missile and Earth Quake too.

And this was the ping at that time, was fairly smooth, didnt have any delay on Energy Bolt charges as well

I am gonna explain a bit of that problem here, just don’t take it wrongly, i am not defending anyone here, actually, i am pointing out a problem.

Doesn’t matter what ping you get, if the server or host drop a packet during a cast (packet as in data packet in the network which would contain the info that you cast a skill) that info is lost and you will only see a frozen animation, i am not sure how frequently it is for who have less than 100ms latency, but in my case (300ms+) is a frequent issue, specially when i am surrounded by lots of monsters.

I don’t know who is at fault here, in all honesty and imho, it is something on the netcode as many already pointed out, and in fact, the lag i am having also is due to that, since i play on other games in other regions, more distant than the NA servers, and my latency is lower (200-260ms).

In the end, we can only wait till they fix that issue, but it is not a 100% sure fix, as other problems can cause the same issue (defective equipment, bad wiring, heavy traffic hours in certain areas).
