The JP button

[madolyn]

This thread was a good read...

but if it is any consolation, I live in Japan and the response time and lag is just as bad as when I played in the states before.
I still constantly get hit by sand traps even after I am well passed them. Still got hit by eruptions in the same sense.

Menus still take forever for whatever reason. Its no different here than anywhere else.
Ultimately, It comes down to server and client. animations on your screen don't match what is being registered on the server or whatever. Don't know the actual way to explain it.

oh and whoever is talking about finishing a node quicker than you...you simply cannot prove that.

put it this way...if you run in a circle really fast around another player, on their screen it will show up as you just kind of twitching. nobody sees the exact same thing. I've played games before while two boxing....jumping around on one account but on the other screen there is a noticeable delay.

so you are telling me the people that start a new crafting action before the last animation finishes aren't in japan?, maybe they are using packet injection?

I can make a video with an LS member if you need me to ?

Were you same level? Hitting in the same spots? There are many reasons for this other than lag. A 50 miner can get most items in one swing when aimed at the correct position for that particular item, which you would know by looking at your remainder bar. This would effectively halve his mining time.

This is not the issue, two level 50 gatherers who both hit the sweet spot every time but one is in EU and one it JP will not stay synced up if they start at the same time.

As the post above said the JP player will finish up before the EU player, normally by 2-3 attempts.

Shrug it off all you want but people who actually gather a lot have probably noticed this.

I have gathered a lot and they do stay synced up, in the way this works it comes down to the player's speed.

No it doesn't, but obviously you know better.

I've got all gatherers to 50 too, lol. I do notice slight variation (we're human, after all) but never anyone finishing a node before me in the time that you suggest.
