    Yes unfortunately I don't believe there is a fix for it. Ping can not be erased which is what players with a high end PC experience. Video lag is an addition to ping which is what players with a lower end PC experience.

    Truth is if you want a game with good graphics then you have to deal with these things. My PC does need an upgrade as Vivik mentions. But I do deserve to play in the meantime and I will surely upgrade the moment that is a real life option.

    Lag has not stopped me from completing any content I've tried. It simply puts me in a position to have to work a little harder for some things.

    Yet along the way I hear: "Just dodge it, it's easy!" or "How can you not see that?"

    Of course I see it! ... A split second too late, on occasion not at all.

    The other unfortunate here is players use "Lag" as an excuse for absolutely everything... So when it really is "lag" some of us that lack humanity immediately toss that idea and feel the need to degrade someone.

    Agreed. Another example along those lines was in AK. I had a tank that everyone was bashing. Was saying was terrible etc. He stated he was lagging. They said "No you need to learn to play." Then I pointed out "Tank isn't lying. I saw the disconnect symbol 4 times." Someone else confirmed that they did as well. He begged everyone to wait while he tried some things to fix his connection. He succeeded and the run was smooth after that. Point is, sometimes it really is lag/latency.

    There was an issue with Lag yesterday. Turn 4 was terrible for me. I couldn't get hate on anything because it would spawn too late on my screen. I Disconnected once, wiping the party. I have a high end PC so it wasn't on my end. It was purely a server problem because my ping is a whopping 70-90.

    If it was this bad with ME, I can't even imagine how bad it is for people in even less favorable circumstances!
