About that LAG...

b:angry That's how we all feel about it.

And it stinks because even though I 'control F9' it, there's still a little glitch here and there. I'm getting really tired of everyone being bald and only showing up when they're walking right next to me. And everyone's face looking like a blob of colors with no real graphical distinctions.
And I know everyone's saying 'well it's just because of all of the new players and the mobs and blah blah'
but NO
I think it's because of the huge load of new great graphixed areas and animals and expansion items and all of that is too much for all of our computers. The expansion was literally TOO BIG for the game's previous system requirements. I don't know.
But that's wierd, because, well, my computer rocks. SO WHAT IS WITH THE LAG?!! HMMM?!!!!
I know you're all experiencing it too.

Go on. Vent to me.

    That's not lag... At the top where your character panel is, make sure the 3rd button from the left is not green - when it's green, it shows people only in the close area around you. For customizations, go to Settings -> UI -> and check "Customizations". When you press Ctrl+F9, all of this gets turned on and off to control the lag control...and Tideborn are permanently bald as long as you have Customizations off, which is in fact a glitch.

    All in all, so far, this server isn't laggy at all. ^^

    No no see I know all of this. I'm saying I'm tired of having to do all of that--hide all of the good graphics and details (make everyone bald, hide customizations)--so that my computer stops lagging.

    I'm talking about the lagging in Tideborn areas. And every person I came in contact with was complaining about it too. We all tried to spread the word to "control F9 it!" or to turn on the 'best performance' setting (lowers all the graphics to minimum function) so that we could all play lag free, albeit annoyingly though :/

    Ah well, can't do anything about the Tideborn areas - they're laggy with overpopulation on every server. Other areas - even west Archo - are pretty lag free so far here.

    Get a better comp.. or if a whole computer is too much, then try and get a stronger video card!

    I know mine is too weak and that has it's drawbacks (but mine is integrated and there's nothing i can do about making it better or changing).

    I must admit still... That it was x999 times lag in the TB area - but I wasn't surprised, the minimap was covered in green. For a second I thought too, that it's the fault of the pretty and colorful city - but that really is only colors and doesn't have a big effect on that (imo). Never had a chance to try it (being there without 1mil of players around) out tho.
