Quick fix to latency

[amnie]

it's not the ping that is causing the lags. those are caused by the servers, not the server distance. while connection does play a minor role in this, I have had people in runs with me that OBVIOUSLY had severe lag problems and being from the East coast, and I've played with people from Japan (on the NA servers, mind you) that have claimed they have no lag at all even though they have a 300+ ping.

I personally noticed that I have a lot less issues in dungeons avoiding stuff when I do something during the day (I'm in Europe) than I have when I play in the middle of the night, so my ppppeeeersonal guess would be that it has a little (or a lot) to do with the amount of people playing/using the duty finder. obviously when it's morning/noon for me the majority of America is asleep and the majority of Europe is at work/school, which in turn means less people clogging the duty finder server.

granted this is just all theory-speaking. I generally don't have huge issues but I'm also starting to simply anticipate aoes. if I just somewhat memorize a pattern then I find it easier to just run out of it in time.
I'm quite a way away from Titan hardmode though and I'm glad I made it through normal mode, so I hope by the time I'm 50 this will have stabilised itself

a longer cast time won't be a permanent fix, though. that's more of a bandaid and will also probably make this way too easy for people that don't have any issues.
