Horrible Server Lag Needs To Be Fixed ASAP

[Jennica]

client side checks are bad - it will most likely be exploited in some form, by reverse engineers. everything thats been said in this thread needs to be addressed server side.

Uh, no, the server always verifies what the client tells it, you just see it on your screen the way it should play out immediately, assuming you aren't using some type of hack.

Say someone tries to speed hack out of an AoE range. Well the server knows the maximum movement speed of your character, so if the client tells the server you've exceeded that, then it will indeed inflict the damage you supposedly avoided with your speed hack.

Just because the client shows you what "should" happen, doesn't mean the server doesn't verify that what you did is possible.
