Sorry SE, but endgame won't work if you don't fix something.

After getting hearthstone beta key, I can no longer be bothered to log in to arr. I feel bad before my fc mates, but could not force myself to login anymore, to a game where I can't enjoy combat. The worst thing is - I don't miss it, I don't recall enjoyable moments not from defeating titan nor coil bosses, because all there is to end-game is working around crappy programming.

So who else canceled their sub renewal? ^^

For now im done with the game. ive seen it all, kill'd it all (apart from twintania, but i got her down to 30%or so, screw that) and well.. nothing to do. pure boredom.
Already re-subbed into da evil WoW and have to say, im currently enjoying this way more than "A Fail Reborn". (at least there i can do something fun and constructive apart from my weekly raiding schedule. like pvp for example)

prolly gonna take another look once CT comes out. but for now it isnt worth paying a damn cent for.

Bumped, also not sure why this is suddenly a discussion about endgame completion bragging and WoW when the topic is pretty clear in the OP.

The solution is all on your end: Get a better internet connection.

You can't blame SE for not being able to complete challenging content because your internet connection/10 year old computer is crappy. That's all on you. I play from Japan and have zero issues with latency both to Japanese servers and to NA servers (I successfully beat Titan many times on both Masamune and Balmung).

My friend in Australia had some issues, but he got a tunneling service to help with latency and it's perfectly fine for him now. It's easy to blame them for having "terrible programming", especially when it's clear you don't understand how internet connections work, but the issue ultimately lies with your ISP.

Quit whining and blaming others for problems you can fix yourself.

Prove you have no latency and I will send you $500 in your paypal. This offer has been open for over a month and no one has bitten.

i dont understand why they kept 90% of the underlying code, seems like they managed to actualy make the netcode worse than 1.0

...I think there are probably bigger prizes available for anyone who can prove it's possible to exceed light speed. Of course there is latency, it's the fundamental part of communications.

But I think there is some truth to the fact that the problems are between users and SE, and not directly on the server. I had massive lag, big spikes, rubberbanding everywhere, Titan was guaranteed death... and my ISP has been doing their best but so far no fix. So in the mean time, I'm using a proxy and apart from a few random 90k in instances (which doesn't seem to be related to the proxy, in game chat still works whilst disconnecting), I haven't had any of the problems I had before.

I don't know... my latency is always 100ms or less (pinging the actually IP of the server I'm connected to) and yet I still see players moving in a "stop go, stop go" fashion as if their position is not being refreshed very often. Players still run in place before actually moving, or continue running when they have already stopped. My favorite is seeing a player take out their pickaxe before reaching their mining point, but slide on over to it. Watching players fail to run in small circles is also a good laugh as the server doesn't refresh/send their position fast enough to allow them to create a circle. So sad

EDIT: I'd love to see a video of players running around without the stop go motion that the positional delay issues in the netcode produce or players barely dodging AoE.

I think you are may be experiencing the problem I have when I don't use proxy, which is packet loss rather than actual ping delay (I also have a general ping of <100ms). So you might get the packet that tells you another player took out their pickaxe, but the packet before containing their movement to the node got lost, and then retransmitted afterwards. My ISP got me to run Wireshark and this showed a huge number of retransmissions, so it is possible to determine if this is the problem you are having.

Obviously there is going to be SOME latency, but it shouldn't be any worse than other MMOs. You guys make it seem like there are huge latency problems in every game that gets released. She said she has zero issues with latency did she not? Those aren't my words. I get 20 ping to the server and atleast 1 second delay. I can cast while moving. With 20 ping. Pretty sure that isn't normal.
