direblaze Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 my main is a rdps, i wanted to try a mara, they looked fun. Little did i know what hassle you guys go through just to fight, the slow unresponsive UI stops you playing fluidly, you hit a move and pray it actually works, its total hell getting the reaction skills to work, i found myself having to pre-empt and think 20 moves ahead rather than react to current events because the UI lag just does not allow you to play at the speed you want. BW this really needs a fix, its 2012 issues like this should be a thing of the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toybones Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 sorry what is UI lag. Im a bit new but I think that I suffer from something similar just from what I gather by the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anahka Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 sorry what is UI lag. Im a bit new but I think that I suffer from something similar just from what I gather by the name. This basically. Note I didn't make this video. The guy is hitting his attack when the UI shows it should be available. Not spamming it, just hitting it once. The char makes a lame attempt to start the attack and then.....nothing. Noticeable on all classes but really bad for Marauders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excaliburhc Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 looking at the video has got me wondering , do we suffer for the same issue as jugernaut where a parry / defend interrupts ours move and resets us ? the video has a lot of parry's going on while he/she is attempting to slash. i know it is one thing pressing a key and 3 secs later the action happens but i wonder if the video above showed 2 separate issues - he had abilty lag at the start with the charge and applying of shields but the phase of parrying , key presses seemed to match animation . eitherway its ruining me game .

Kodokai Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Ever since upgrading from a e6600 to an i3-2120 ive had very LITTLE ability delay, so im guessing its part animation issues/pc issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got absolutely nothing to do with people's rigs. It's got everything to do with Bioware's lack of competence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicalZero Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Ability delay is 1000x times worst on **** rigs, fact. Prove it. If it's a fact it should be easy to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodokai Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Prove it. If it's a fact it should be easy to do so. You want me to remove everything, stick my old e6600 back in just to make one video. Joooooooooooooog on son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draexnael Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Ever since upgrading from a e6600 to an i3-2120 ive had very LITTLE ability delay, so im guessing its part animation issues/pc issues. Load of rubbissh. I've got an i7 overlocked to 4.0, 8gigs DDR3 1800mhz RAM, ATI 6870HD 1gb gfx, 120gb SSD, 50mb fiber optic cable, and I still get ability delay - so your point is mute I'm afraid. Its the game being broke, nothing to do with someones rig at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quelor Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I have a monster rig and ability delay. So yeah, its here. 2xGTX580, i7 @ 4.5ghz and a ssd. Worth to add, they dont think I can handle high resolution textures, so they disabled it.. . . *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiderbubble Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 What happens in that video happens so often it is actually completely saddening. Granted, once it happens a few times, I at least run in circles to reset it (usually seems to fix it) but that still wastes a few seconds where I could be DPSing like crazy. A lot of our skills are very very bugged, and Vicious Strike (as seen in the video) is only one of many. It messes up more than any other class, I'm afraid...

Shadlicious Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I keep having this issue as well and it's quite irritating. Happens most often with Massacre and Force Choke for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selixx Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 http://wiki.heroengine.com/wiki/Combat Read this wiki. This is the problem. The issue doesn't have anything to do with anyone's rig, or their connection. It has to do with how the game engine itself handles communication between players and the server.

Selixx Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) Is bioware going to fix this at all? Bioware has already said they are making the issue a top priority, but anyone who expects an issue like this to be solved relatively quickly is insane. You need programmers to fix the issue, and you need to extensively test the impact the new coding will have both upon the engine itself, and the game. If the fix breaks the game, it's not a fix at all, and modifying the source code of a game engine can have some serious consequences on the game itself when trying to implement them. Bioware has a lot of power behind them right now, with LucasArts and EA backing them, but it will still take awhile to design and implement a fix.

Kibaken Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Long story short it has to do with the fact the Hero Engine doesn't support multi-threading and, apparently, when BioWare took the Hero Engine it didn't have multi-core support. In this game you hit a button and it: Registers the button press. Starts to play the animation. Calculates the damage. Readies the spell effect on the enemy. Finishes. It's something like that (was explained on a /v/ thread last night and I don't remember the exact example he gave. In a multi-thread supported game all of those calculations are done at the same time, allowing instant cast abilities to go off and do damage seemingly at the same time as you finish a cast. tl;dr it's pretty obvious the game was rushed out for holiday sales and, in doing so - like so many other MMOs - its starting to dig its own grave. The Ilum fiasco plus end-game bugs not getting fixed are started to be the last straw for people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ilum fiasco plus end-game bugs not getting fixed are started to be the last straw for people. Agreed, Bioware definitely rushed the game. It was a good time to release the game, with holidays up and coming, and the demise of Rift. Furthermore, GW2 and Tera both have not been released, so Bioware slipped in real nicely inbetween Rift and GW2. They should have taken an extra month and had an open beta imo.

Jmagicz Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I'm pretty sure that Bioware didn't want to release the game and the it was pressure from EA the caused the game to come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
