    Server Questions : Aoe kills me :(

    Hey! So this is not a complaint but a question about servers.

    I get out of Aoe's but I get hit by them. Is quite ridiculous how far i get out of them. I was on the other side of the room when a bomb exploded, but still died. I know you think is my fault but honestly I'm moving out of them. I played WoW and raided in TBC so I know not to stand in fire. Is lag.

    Strangely I have perfect connection for everything else, like healing and dps. It's only the Aoe's and it's sad because it looks like I will have real problems to play this game the way i would like. Healer cannot die to bomb in copper mines .

    So.. I am an American currently in Europe. So I choose US server to play with my kind . Is this the problem? Will it get better when I go home? Will a European server be a better option for me, I'm here for a while .

    You can be on the other side of the room but if you have only just got out of the AoE, if the cast bar finished by the time you left it, it will make it look like you were out of it but in fact it is just animation delay combined with lag so it can look quite skewed. And yes you should probably be playing on the server closest to your location in this case EU.

    There IS no server closer to her location seeing as currently all NA and EU servers are in the same place. Which is Montreal.

    Currently both NA and EU servers are in Montreal, so switching to an EU server won't help one bit. But they're building one in Europe, expected to be operational before the end of this year.

    Ahh ok, so it would be the same whatever server. I'd prefer a US one tbh, but maybe I move if they build one nearer to where I am.

    And yes, I read about cast bars. Is hard for me to look at them while healing though, because my eyes need to be somewhere else. Is a shame the big red circle on the floor isn't a good indicator . I'll see if I can work around it somehow.

    Oh right, well everything else still counts, animation delay and lag combined will kill people dead in their tracks. Try out WTFast OP it is a great tool for people that lag.

    Hello \o yeah most skills hit you by the time cast bar ends not when the animation hits so it's good idea to get out before it fills, as soon as you see it filling, move.

    But not all skills work like that. For Example, the bombs in titan HM don't show a AOE around them so there may be times when you think your out but you could still be in it and very rarely have I seen skills go off 1 second after the cast bar fills, the only time I can think of now was the T12 Raid black fire, when the cast bar filled a Black fire would appear beneath your feet 1 second after it's cast.

    But all in all the main thing is moving out before the cast bar is done. You'll get the hang of it ;p

    I don't want this to sound as advertisement, but try some "ping busters" like WTFast, even the free version cut my ping by about 30ms playing from EU, and it's quite noticeable, I have not got pushed from the Titan spire ever since.

    I live in Delaware and have Verizon Fios. Fios routing to the Montreal server is just terrible. WTFast solved any lag issues i had. Love it.
