The problem is the quality either internet or server, u can say lag spike, I mean averagely 0.3 second response is barely noticeable ..I think la, yes I do PvP & I'm ok with that unless UNIFI song song give u a lag spike shoot all the way up to 1 second.. mad.gif probably I'm not so hardcore

You will know once you become very active in GvG or structured PvP.

I think PvE should be very fine. PvP ayam scared sad.gif

Last time I arena in WoW up to 2k, 400ms really is a nasty disadvantage. Skills don't come out in time, as melee you will be kited to death, etc.

I doubt that snappy instant attack bcos mmo were design to "cast" skill so u'll never instant skill example when cast fireball, animate 0.1s the staff fire up -> 0.1s fireball travel to mob -> 0.1s later mob will get hit, everything need a delay so that balance out all players around the world which mean US player will not attack faster than any1 else.. pls correct me if I am wrong

I'm getting 280-310ms with 4mb Streamyx. Used Win7 Resource Monitor to check.  thumbup.gif

Compared to many of you guys, I can consider my connection very good already smile.gif
Btw,I tried WTFast ..LaglessProxy and other Proxy/VPN ... ALL no difference at all sad.gif ... But I think LaglessProxy MY server reduce slightly like 50ms max..lol. So, I don't need any Proxy or VPN, as they don't really help.. and some of them make it even worst to 400-500ms.
So guys, if you experience bad connection then I highly recommend LaglessProxy and connect to MY server.
Also, when you guys said NO LAG at all is a very FALSE statement, because even at 200-300ms you still experience delay when using skill...don't believe? Try pressing skill 1 button and release the button, only after a while the skill ACTIVATE. For those people live in US area I believe they don't have lag at all 30-80ms, their skills are snappy fast and instantaneous..they press skill 1 and it activate right away.

ya when lagging u'll b getting late feedback from the server which is bad but I think only apply to those > 500ms latency

No, I'm talking about normal attack which is skill 1, there's slight delay after you click the button before the attack begin. I am 100% sure it is affected by connection, where there's huge delay like 1.0 sec after clicking it; before my character swing the sword when I got bad connection, and its significantly faster when I got better connector.

So for people living near the server DOES have a better advantage when attacking or using skills because of snappy response.

For your information, I'm talking about delay/response time after clicking the skill, not the casting time required for spellcasters, there's many skills and attack doesn't require cast time at all such as Thief.

Also, I know connection speed doesn't affect casting time at all ...lol  sweat.gif  ...... else people with good connection can cast a spell in 2sec that required 3sec  shocking.gif?.
