Aftercast Delay

[frank]

7:33PM - 9/1/16

Spoke with [GM]Veracity in-game who believes that the item I'm lacking is the Ring of the Divine. Pending Genesis' update, we'll know for sure.

I've been observing a few players in for_fild01 and have noticed that their casts (specifically, Spiral Pierce), are a lot faster than my own spam. I'm wondering if someone more knowledgeable could clarify what I'm missing.

I've the following setup for Spiral:

• 3 x Kiel-D 01 Cards
• 195 ASPD
• Instant Cast (150+ Dex)

Yet there is still noticeable delay between casts - Is this because I haven't yet forged the Legendary Spear / purchased the Donation Spear?

From observation, this is also across the board: I can't seem to spam as fast on CT, or Breaker, or Pressure. I've ruled out latency and ping issues since I've seen Philippine-speaking players spam faster, and my friend who's currently playing with me (has the same gear), is from America.

TLDR; Delays, in general, for me, are a alot slower compared to others. Why?

Try to set your Dex to 150.

Sorry - Should've clarified I met the requirements for instant cast.

Use pingzapper

Following up from this, there is no noticeable difference using the software. I'm still not able to consistently spam as fast as people in PvP.

May I know where you are located? There is a big factor on your location. The nearer you are to the server, the better spam rate you'll get.

I'm based in Brisbane, Australia and I'm playing with a friend who's experiencing the same issues who's from Argentina, South America.

I ended up recording my issue for the forum's reference so they can see just how crippled I am in comparison to a standard PvPer. Once again this issue has been replicated in both Australia and South America.

Hi! Please try un-equipping your Freebie Adventurer Backpack and see if that effects your casting speed. If I remember correctly, we had made it so it reduces casting speed when equipped at max level, since the item was meant only to help new players leveling and not actually be used in PVP. We didn't want to put a level restriction on it since many people wear it for fashion when hanging out. :)

If that is the issue, there should be a warning on the item, which I do believe there used to be but some of our item descriptions got messed up awhile ago. I'll have Genesis confirm this when he's online and correct the description.

South America connection sucks. We have few submarine cables connecting us to US and Europe. Since all countries are 3rd worlds, we don't get enough investments to improve our connectivity.

This means that people from Philippines, Australia, Japan can have better ping than we have, because those continents are more richer (more money = more investments = improved connection)

And Argentina connections are really really bad.

OBS: Im from south america.

I'm pretty convinced it is your ping that is holding you back. Setting up pingzapper correctly could greatly improve your spam but in general your ping will be way higher than others due to the distance.
