Has latency/delay issue improved?

Hi, all! I have quit this game 2 months ago because I had a really bad latency/delay issue where I'd always get hit even if I run out of the red aoe immediately. I just re-subbed today to see what's new and whether the latency issue has improved at all. I've ran a H.Manor 4 man instance and only got hit by aoe twice like the whole run and now I'm mostly ok if I run out of stuff fast. Basically I felt like the game's working much better than before for me. Has SE fixed the latency and made it more friendly for folks with 200+ms? Or could it be that the change I'm experiencing is due to me playing on a brand new computer?

Also fantasia vials. Are they purchasable yet?

Still the same. Except most of your attacks hit now, but avoiding AOE's no difference.

I can actually dodge Landslide now if I'm half-way across the arena from it so, yes, it's gotten better. That said there's certain instances, Arum Vale being one of the big ones, that can still be awfully laggy.

Nope, nope and nope.
Potions may come on sale with 2.3 patch. Expected 2015.
But call me a cynic.

They've made some tweaks, specifically to specific end game content and PvP (checking position more often in that content only). Some people have it easier, some people have it worse (because increased position checks means more traffic, and that's a problem for some connections).

If you want to see how things really are for you, try Titan HM. It's still the big test as far as latency is concerned.

I never had much delay(other than 2.0 launch), just a small lag spikes(which i guess cant be helped).

Im close to my data centre.

Thanks. I'm planning to try out Ultima HM tomorrow maybe.

Basically what they did was improve the rate that the client is sending positional updates to the server to .1 seconds for some end-game fights. You'll have to try it before seeing if that worked for you. How often the server gets positions doesn't matter much if latency/packet loss/network degradation from hops causes the info to get there late consistently.

Good luck in your tests :)
