Conan latency issues

[Steckmajster]

Well,
I've heard that alot in the game is based on your own in combat, for instance shooting with a bow.


and the thing is..

.. my friends and me started a disscussion about how latency affects pvp for example?
- Now I don't know if it's an FPS - MMO like game, but tell me please how a slow internet affects the gameplay.

Age slow internet effects gameplay quite simply......

Lets say you have a ping of 250ms....

After u press a ability it takes 250ms to get to the server for processing..... now
If the other person has a ping for only 50ms... his only takes 50ms to get to the server meaning he can see things and react faster.

Also he can technicaly attack faster also because its taking less time to reach the server, but i think the GCD (global cooldown) stop this.

I no 200ms doesnt sound much..... but how fast can u hit 2 keys? alot faster.

Plus imagine your ping at 1000ms (1second)... it takes 1 second for you key press to get to the server.... thats a long time waiting for it todo somthing

Summary:

Faster connection = Lower ping
Lower ping = faster reaction speed


Somebody correct me if im wrong.... its been a long time since ive reviewed this and technology has changed alot since CS :P

This is correct but lag can stack attacks. Its happened before when the ping spikes on the server. It's annoying but it doesnt last that long.
