oh I forgot about that, you're right the false bans is also a top priority. I think that should actually take precedence. But this is a close second on the biggest issues in the game. They said back end improvements were made to improve server stability to todays maintenance like they say in half of the them but the lag is still there.
Yes, the lag just all of a sudden happened to a huge amount of people after a certain update last year in October. Yes, I'm sure all of us on the exact day bloated our computers and simultaneously downloaded a whole bunch of stuff and got internet problems. All on the same day. How far away I am is irrelevant. The game didn't lag before, it lags now. My location hasn't changed. My router and pc has remained in the same spot, so no tunnel. I'm using about 200 GB out of a TB on my pc, yes I'm sure it's very bloated. My server lost a whole bunch of people from the world leap so if anything the lag should have lessened, it hasn't. I have never used a vpn. We do have solid proof that this is an issue on nexon's end because nexon themselves have acknowledged it. I'm aware that there are people that don't experience this lag, I've mentioned that in other threads. Just because you don't have this problem doesn't mean it doesn't exist for many other people. Know a little about what you are talking about before using whatever opportunity you can to act like a smartass.
The lag in this game is unbearable. I know you know it exists because it was mentioned to your face in person in that q&a. Countless people have made complaints about the loot lag that has been going on for over a year. Players have already identified the cause and I think some have even given suggestions. I've even seen youtube videos of people who edited some program to make the lag go away. Not something I would resort to, but that shows just how bad this issue is that people are resorting to editing the game themselves to make it work properly. It should not take this long to fix a major problem like this. I have already done everything I could on my end. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, turned off my computer and back on, scanned my computer, checked my internet speed. Nothing is wrong on my end and my pc is more than capable of running this game. I don't know anything about coding but I understand it is difficult and so many things can go wrong. But this has taken too long for such a huge problem. It cannot be this difficult to fix a problem. You're not taking this issue as serious as it should be taken.
For the past year this lag has prevented me from doing the daily kritias quests because the lag made the killing take way too much time and killing too fast would result in dc. My server is too dead for any invasions to be successful so I've been patiently doing the dailies, getting 1 stone a day, until I could afford the tyrant gloves for 400 stones. I would have the glove now had it not been for this lag. The lag has prevented me from doing certain bosses that require a smooth connection such as magnus and hellux. I've taken a few hiatuses in the past year because this lag made me lose interest in this game. I'm not saying this because I want a compensation, I don't want one, I just want the issue fixed. I'm explaining what has been some of the consequences this lag has resulted in.
A few old souls might remember a major exploit after the red update where many people had to be hell banned in order for nexon to investigate whether certain people were involved in it. I was one of the unlucky innocent players that got hellbanned and I believe it lasted 3 weeks. I was compensated generously but frankly I didn't need to be because I understand that it had to happen for cheaters to be caught and punished. I bring this up because I can be very patient, but my patience on this issue is running thin.
We've seen that you are more than capable of fixing issues very quickly. Just recently you fixed the burning exploit and rightly so. When major exploits and major problems in the game arise, you take the game down and dedicate every possible resource to fixing it as soon as possible. And despite many players giving you flak for all the maintenances, I was always glad because I knew you were doing it to fix a major problem and that was a good thing. This lag should be treated as such. This should be at the top of your priority, not when the next cube sale will be, not fixing minor bugs, but fixing this lag. This is legitimately game breaking, I already took extended leaves because of this and am more than capable of doing so again, perhaps indefinitely. I know many people have already quit because of this very issue.
