Besieged Lag

gonna have to agree here at first it was a littel laggy but no problem since 2 days ago its gotten so bad that when i go to besieged i cast a spell and see it resolve 2 minutes later. or i can't heal people cause on my screen they are showing where they were and not where they really are. was never that bad until this week.
 
POL should get a better server modem i heard they on a 56k for those old ps2 players they should go up to a 3meg etc

Words cannot describe...

Let's just say, no they're not.
 
The lag really hasn't changed much, from what I've experienced...Yesterday's Undead didn't lag me very much at all. A few days before that during JP prime time, there were 800+ in the zone. After dieing, I tried to home point and was disconnected...Same deal, the server was congested. I logged back on just in time to watch the cinematic for a successfull beseiged. However, I received no exp/IS. This also happened to a jp player I know, but on a different occasion. He was fighting in beseiged, got kicked, came back and received no points...

And no, there doesn't need to be a signup. If you're actually interested in Beseiged, you would be refreshing the Region>Beseiged option to see when the next attack might be. There is something like a 2.5 ~ 5hour warning. Unless they rush in at a lower level...

It's not a game, it's a battle (barring plot revelations). 750 people in the same zone fighting is more of a success than DEV has had in years. They shouldn't nerf the enthusiasm. Lag isn't a big deal.

What's with the change of attitude towards Besieged? Did you FINALLY realize people were right, that jacking the mobs outside yields nothing?

Lag would be a bit more tolerable if it were impossible for people to storm the bastion. All doors should be locked. The only way you should be able to get back to a forward position, is after the mobs have laid waste to everything in there. Sectionalizing the fights would cause a decrease in the amount of data being recieved by people in local areas.

No, because then I wouldn't have even been able to zone into Al Zahbi, so I'd still be playing right now. >.> I was only going into Al Zahbi to use the warp Taru, not to participate in the Besieged.

Oh, I thought you were like me and logged out and Al Zhabi and couldnt go back
 
That was a lagtastic battle!
 
Why is Se fixing things like delivery box lag during besieged when beseiged lag is getting worse and worse each time? I couldnt even attack within 10-15 seconds of pressing attack this besieged.

i definitely have a cable modem connection to my ps2 -.-
 
Besieged has a few design flaws.

1. It's a small zone, everyone is forced together.

2. Only one town is being attacked. If there were more towns people would spread out.

3. You know its coming. Just look on Region Info and then the flood gates open.

They could also make it were a few monsters randomly walk into town every now and then.

Try doing it as bst. I have no idea where my crab is half the time. But I'm happy with the 700 points and exp :D
 
I have tried to get into besieged almost everytime it happened. everytime I get there before it starts. I get lagged out and kicked off and I can't get back in until its over. sometimes i tried to come in after they made it to town I would start to log into al zahbi then bang lagged out. To this day i have yet to see the CS or see any mobs in town.

SUX
 
As a 64 war, you wouldn't be able to hit anyway. You're not missing much.

Not meant as an insult. Their evasion is just pretty damn tough.

There where 750 people in the zone last night. Let that number sink in, 750 god damn people. That is like a third of the server right there. Dynamisis lags like a beast as it is with less then a TENTH of that. Not terribly suprised it lags hardcore. They need to do something like boot all the people lower then 70 outa the zone because when ya get right down to it they really are doing more harm then good.
 
I guess your right I just want to see it you know what I mean I know that the mobs are tough as balls. I just wanna do it once and then be done with it till I get higher. I wanna see the mobs storm the place and take a screenie of one of the serpents.
 
yeah but dire the whole point to putting this content in, is because its something a level 1 can do and a level 75 can do together... the point was to bring all the players together for a common goal. They accomplished it, they just have lag so that we'll but gil and support the RMT more (lol conspiracy theory)
