[762][Gen] Connection>Skill

Yep everyone, I know lots of people are gona disagree but this is what factors in the knight combat. You could swing first, but still you will get instakilled, stunned, or some other crap even if you swung your sword first. The better the connection the longer there sword gets and the faster they can move around.

 

Umm. amgtree. I was just on beo's earlier today dominating you with 233 ping whilst you had 100.

I totally see your point though, 0 pingers are hard to hit, especially back pedaling archers. Right now, KAB has very little or no net code. Meaning ping plays a huge roll in fights. Get used to fighting at a certain ping and you will be unstoppable.

EDIT: Oh and added a build number for future reference if the devs decide to add net code later on.

 

I did not have a 100 ping. I had 233 like yours, but my ping would jump to 500 and 300 rapidly. Every time my it jumps up it will slow down everything and then speed up. There is no way that my ping is 100. In classic my ping was high enough that I couldn't do the mid air bombjump.

 

Opposite for the first part... the worse the connection (high ping), the longer their sword becomes (ask Symphony Soldier on NA servers).

 

Welcome to KAG.

 

Ahh, Sorry. Was confusing you with the other guy in the same server at the time with 100 ping. You were both raging at me so you kind of became the same person in my mind. :p

Having an unstable connection sucks. I live in a household with shared internet and when everyone is home... Lets just say there's a very reason why I only play builder on KAG.

 

A big advantage with KAB compared to KAG that you can actually learn to play with the ping. Hitboxes will be different and you'll have to time things differently, but they'll never be completely random. Often going straight for the sprite while having a high ping is stupid, slashing slightly above the player and doing it earlier than normally is the best way to quarantee a hit with a high ping. Keep in mind that your slash hitbox is larger if you have momentum, and this can be used to a great advantage.

You'll have to keep an eye on your ping and adjust your playstyle regarding to it to be succesful. This is really hard though, and other players have their own ping differences too, so I haven't even nearly mastered this and probably never will.

I don't think anything can be done about this. In alpha they implemented some "anti-lag code" for the very issue, but it only made things worse than the effects of pure lag.

 

Ftfy
also i just develop a feel for it and not care about how i should attack. caring is waste
