I'm gonna go for sweat pants and a bikini when the vanity slots are out :P it's my yoga look ^_^
Also, server transfer for me soon. Gotta go for the better ping for aussies seeing as titan never seemed hard, outside of the fact when the circle appeared on me, I was already doomed >_>
So, Masamune or Sargatanas? What's better ping wise? O_o

10-11-2013, 03:22 PMmbncdI'm a Brisbanite on Ragnarok and ping times kill me a lot... It's like the AoE markers are just there to taunt me. "Oh, you're all the way over there now? Well, too bad! Na na nana na~ *boom*"Quote:

Lol, exactly. I had enough time to move out of the aoe range and then type a goodbye 'before' getting knocked off from titan >_>
Not even gonna try HM titan till I move server :P... or till a reach lvl 50 ^^; I'm easily distracted... ... ... I wonder where that birds flying too... *wanders after it* -

I have noticed something really really weird. I still can't believe I'm typing this. Especially since all that I learned tells me it shouldn't be happening. But considering my 160ms ping, I shouldn't be having 1-2 seconds delay on dodging AoE. So yesterday, I set all my graphic settings to "low" (20-30fps -> 40-60fps) and... i can now dodge AoE properly. It's as if the graphic lag prevents the game from showing the AoE marker in time or something. I feel like I'm going crazy. And the most crazy thing is, I could reproduce it yesterday - once I set my custom settings and had the game drop below 30 fps at times, I could no longer dodge. Maybe it's time to set the good old "actions executed by enemies" chat filter into my main chat window again.

My custom settings give me around 50fps but I once put up the 30fps limit, because I got told that my CPU won't cry the whole time then (which is true, except crowded areas).
Now yesterday someone said I should put it to "no limit" and that it would help... I'd ike to test it but I don't want my CPU to cry again ._.
(CPU had less problems with 1.0 than with ARR and I don't know why.)
Sorry for leaving yesterday, Crim >.< -

If anything, the GPU would have to work harder, not the CPU oO
Well, maybe to a degree, but not really that much. 30fps limit in itself is fine, especially since it gets you more stable fps overall. And the game looks surprisingly good on low settings as well, only things I increased is grass/shadow quality, and the game looks almost the same as on high settings.
Also, np, someone from the party did a suicide run after you DCed wiping everyone so we left and then half of the people went afk, so I left too. -
10-11-2013, 09:49 PMCorisI don't know why, but I really had the feeling it would affect my CPU too :0Quote:

10-11-2013, 10:09 PMRivienneI am pretty sure this relates to drawing priority issues, and that is probably managed by the CPU. The drawing priority is seemingly scenery over other players, players over NPC and enemies, and enemies/npc over AOE. So the higher your overall graphics the longer the AOE takes, because it draws after all the fancy effects going on. In other words, the AOE lag is probably partially being caused by the scenery quality, character quality, and battle effects, just because even though the AOE is such a basic on screen item itself, it is being performed after those other things. One solution I found that helps is to disable the battle effects of other players and enemies. Made a huge difference in my ability to handle AOE in zerg-fest. When I can see the enemy at all that is.Quote:

10-11-2013, 10:14 PMCorisI for myself disabled animations for people outside my party and those from my pt mates are tweaked. (High - mid - off) Reason for this: Compared to 1.0, 2.0 is very flashy and lots of pew pew that can distract you @.@Quote:

After getting my Omnilex and a dead Titan thanks to Zerocat's friendly FC, me and my FC have finally downed him on our own! Took a bunch of tries, and we were starting to see wipes at 2%~6% HP more commonly than wipes before Phase 5 :P
There was a lot of screaming for joy on mumbles after the cutscene finally started!
... to think I have to beat him all over again for my Spairai depresses me. -
10-12-2013, 05:16 PMNiqoteOnce you start getting him down reliably you'll learn to enjoy the fight I think ^_^Quote:

Yeah...
I'm still waiting on some of the members of my FC to get caught up so we can start trying to down Titan. In the mean time, I have pug groups to entertain me. -
10-12-2013, 06:27 PMWilkshaYou know what, funny. I just finished my Omnilex and started to work on a Spairai. Small world?Quote:

For example, I was in a Titan run and my lag was so bad that I walked into a landslide then got hit by it immediately. I had no time to react. I was moving away from the target of the last few landslides as it was the same guy each time but this time it changed. It felt like 1.0 Ifrit all over again. -
