Alright, before every tower battle i go to i put graphics on 16 bit and texture quality on crap. Aka, 'doom 1 mode' nicknamed by Yppo.
I turn off all of the environment effects, nano effects, etc..
I admit im on dial-up. But the lag i experience in NW battles is still total crap. I've been told by several people '**** they got stromm' and im still alive on my comp, waiting to be warped at 4,000 mph into a swamp or some **** in 5 more minutes, LD, and log back on at the reclaim. lol And the constant 'entry and exit' of chat channels due to linkdeath. I've had some fun at some tower battles dont get me wrong but in those big bloodbaths where it's 5 guilds on 5 guilds combine that with CC and my box acts like a pinto starting up ignition. Perhaps im not the only one experiencing this - what about cable users? Lag complaints seem to be pretty universal from what ive seen but i don't know everyone's systems. What other things can i do besides turn the graphics to low and disable all environment effects to make lag less?
