Serious Performance Issues (latency/server response time)

[Raist]

Again....need to pay attention to the progress of the casting bar.

And not trying to "sweep it under the rug". Been working on the latency issue specifically for this game for well over a year now. Not just for myself...but more so in trying to get people on track to get their issues addressed. My issues pretty much got a permanent fix of sorts back at the first of the year, but occasionally we have to revisit things because the traffic patterns sometimes shift faster than TWC catches up and I have to shoot them an email. But, I haven't had to do that since sometime back around Easter....they've been pretty spot-on for the most part with catching it. A few times I've started generating the reports to email them, and then the modem reboots on it's own and everything is cleared up again before I actually get around to typing up the email.

A lot of people complaining about the very same things you have been were suffering from lag (that includes the landslide dilemma)...but it is beginning to sound like your issue may actually be two-fold, or perhaps just that one mechanic that you may be overlooking---the proper indicator of when an action is taking place. The proper indicator is the casting bar. If your timing is aligning properly there, then it may simply be attributable to your latency.

People with good latency that are moving appropriately according to the proper indicators seem to be doing fine.

Here is a little video I found on YouTube that demonstrates it somewhat. Pay attention to the progress bar compared to what is going on on the screen. The same principles apply to the markers and such you are complaining about:
