SSHM is so unfriendly for aussie ping :/

It is improbable to just walk to avoid the one shot in pizza-donut cage because every tick is much faster than normal mode. It is hard to dodge the instant retarget as I am most likely to be sucked into him by his first ground smash. It is really hard to react in 'I will rip you apart' if nightmare imp is under 40% and enraged that I can barely do damage when focus on survival.
A noob slayer with Determined title is crying about his 250 ping. :(

  • I think u just need practice. I'm from SEA and playing with your ping. And after many deaths, i'm able to do the cage easily.

    It will help if your mystic switch to swift aura during cage or u have some swiftly hardy dyads equipped. Otherwise, it's still totally doable with that ping, not impossible

    Then focus on surviving. learning the patterns and then once you done the first two do damage.

    I say the word improbable, not impossible, if I appear to be on the safe zone at the beginning of phase then i can just walk. Otherwise i must iframe because walking out of red zones is extremely hard.

    I actually know the patterns and what will happen, i need more efforts to react ealier and faster than those who live in Chicago.
  • What is your ping? Your connection is going through two transoceanic lines.

    Minimum ping is about 220, I tried WTFast but that does not make any noticeable improvement and sometimes my ping goes worse. I think an American visa is the only and best VPN to save me from oblivion :anguished:
  • Yeah, WTFast can't help when the signal itself needs to travel halfway around the world and back.
  • Playing from Australia here. I get about the same ping as yours, 220 - 260ms.
    You can walk in cage perfectly fine if you stand on top of the blue arrows (I'm not sure if you're using it to position yourself), which is like in the middle of everything (2 pizzas and inner-outer aoe). I play a priest and my shakan in-combat movement buff is less than your Dash. I also cleared it a few times on a ninja and a brawler and their movement speed is even lower. You can also keep dps-ing, and evasive-roll backwards the first cage attack (ONTO it if it's a pizza or ONTO the blue arrow if it's inner-aoe first). The only time when I have trouble with cages is after Imperator has 2 stacks of attack speed buff and not doing any cage-debuff, which is less likely to happen (only when your team dps is low).
  • In a game without a skill queue, it's more than just getting better. Yes, so long as your ping is stable you can learn to time dodges and avoid attacks. However, if you are tanking or healing, you're going to do very poorly. As a DPS, you'll take a DPS drop. If you can attack once per second, and your ping is 200ms, then you automatically are losing about 20% of your DPS to latency and there is no amount of skill that can eliminate that since there is no skill queue.
  • in future should just make content that takes theses faults into account
    especially so considering at 1 point Western revenues > Eastern (don't know about now)

    but hodor every country apparently has PC Bangs like Korea :P
  • ^ What????
  • Uhm i play with around 190-200ms, and as far as moving in the game i see no lag, i do notice it when using skills, but not when im moving around on the pizza slices of SS.
    Also WTFast doesnt work with tera, i dont know why, but the conection even gets worse when i use it. I ping 130ms to florida, connecting to it should make my ping at least go down to 160-170, but no, it goes up to 250ms which is way worse.

    aura of the swift honestly should not be the answer

    it's possible to fit in extra dps during cage, especially after 40% when you can eat hits for curse, and crit aura should be on for that. not to mention your mystic may forget to switch auras and lose even more dps
  • OK the articulate version:

    2014-2015 western revenues exceeded Eastern revenues.
    Netcode horrible and straight up copy/paste from Ktera client.
    Developers refuse to optimize it and believe that US/EU internet infrastructure is the same as Korea's.
    They prob. also assume that most PC gamers in NA go to PC bangs (what most Korean gamers do).

    One would think that devs would cater to their primary consumers aka the west and fix netcode.
    In Tera you get issues from just having 100ms let alone 200ms.
    Heck on my lancer with my fluctuating 40-80ping my attacks occasionally make me go through the boss.
    In other games like Planetside 2 where ping even more important, no issues if you have 200ms.
    I believe WOW is even better.

    Since they refuse to fix their game, and the West contributes more than 50% of total revenue, they should make future content that takes into consideration high ping. Forcing the consumer to readjust to your product/service b/c you are too lazy to fix it is poor customer service.

    Or, since TERA NA is a North American Server, they don't take into account high ping because in North America the worst ping you can get is if you live in California. Just because it's harder for you because you have higher ping than other players, does not mean the developers have to take your ping in consideration. There are plenty of players who have ping likes yours and can beat these dungeons. You're just not trying hard enough. It's highly "improbable" that the developers will cater to higher ping players' needs.
