    Christmas choir quest.

    I keep using the commands like how it says but every hit misses even when do it right when overlaps. Is this caused by extreme lag that's making all my hit miss. I'm on pc that has wired internet. If lag causes you miss they need to fix it.

    I'm not having any problems with this quest at all (except for my personal failure of hitting the red notes correctly, which is why I'm sticking to "Starlight, Starbright", but thats my problem not one with the quest...) - if you are having issues with lag, that might be your problem, aka not one that SE can fix. If your connection is to bad to run the (mini)-game properly thats not something SE should really be concerned about...

    I found the delay in regards to the input generous enough and I havent noticed any lag-issues.

    It took me a while to figure out why I kept missing, but here's what I did.

    Each diamond (blue, orange, red) that shows up, if you notice on your screen, has a diamond border around it that shrinks towards the actual diamond on the screen. Wait until this diamond border has shrunk to nearly the same size as the actual diamond before pressing your button. Pressing too soon will count as a miss. Hope this helps

    If you suspect lag, try hitting earlier. Each note is judged with one of three steps: good, great and critical, with critical being right on spot. The catch is that if you're even a little bit late from critical, it's a miss, whereas being early will give you a great or a good (unless it's way early). Try different timings until you can reliably get great or good, then stick to that.

    Also note that passing the quest and getting the rewards does not depend on your score at all, as long as you get no more than eight misses. There's no leaderboard, so unless you want to compare scores with your friends you can just ignore it.

    I didn't have any lag problems till they moved the datacenter to new location in CA. from Canada. Doesn't matter I will just buy it off mogstation next year and toss quest to it. When fail over 15 times on it when none should have missed time quit it.

    I unplugged my ethernet cable while doing that minigame to check if it communicates with the server; it doesn't. Your ping has nothing to do with your troubles.

    My guess is the same, that they have the same problem I had for the first half dozen attempts. I was missing because I would hit the button as soon as one of the three diamond appeared rather then waiting for the diamond border that surrounds each actual diamond to shrink down. It has nothing to do with lag. On the easy mode it shows right on the screen when to push the button.

    the red one takes a bit to get used to the timing, on my third run I started to always get it done properly.

    The red one is a hold note but I figure out as soon as that border shrunk for a second time you had to hit the button again to close the red hold out.

    That's weird. I just do one press and one release for the "red" ones.

    Press(and hold) somewhere in the same range as the blue ones, it opens up and starts to shrink again, then release in the same range during the second shrink.

    Whatever gets 'er don I guess
