well now we know what lag is but it will always be there.......

i wish there were way to stop lag but there isnt so you just gotta beat em if you cant fight em till the end :p

i really think this topic should be saty at the top of the ###### help just to clear up the mind of the ######s about lag !

i will just add this to my explanation...

this is the how the game is set-up...
PlayerA <----> Server <----> PlayerB
basically the process i have developped in the first post has to work his way twice !
that is why it takes so long before the health goes down !

Aight.. I'll bulliten it ('cause so many people bitch about it without understanding how it works).

Another good topic that explains lag (page 3-6).

Another good place to find out how lag opperates.

troy88's definition of lag doesn't even help understand how the lag is created. he just tell the other the difference between true lag and bugs !

your definition of lag help a little but is sure not complete !

my definition explain how lag is created "ON INTERNET" i think we should get along and put some topic that REALLY explain it all.

- difference between lag and bugs
- how LAG is created on INTERNET
- how the machine itself can cause lag

putting those 3 things together would really explain what lag is. cause we all know that there is no SIMPLE explanation of lag !

Whoa, whoa! Slow down and think about why I/we did those.

We weren't trying to explain how lag is created on the internet, that wouldn't explain anything to the young minds we get every day (if you preffer to think they have brains that is). Those simply state how/what lag is within the game. No more, no less.

You can preach about internet induced lag all you want to.. but it's pretty much the same thing as what happens in the game. What I want is for people to understand what's happening in the game...

And those both explain what's going on in the game plenty well. We could both delve much further, but then how many ######s would follow it? Practially none.

Completion is not what either of us were aiming for, just a "better understanding" of lag.

But if you are looking for a complete guid to lag... well I suggest you create a topic about it in the "comments and strategies" (since many more people will see it there).

you're right, but it was destined for the ######s but still i'll make the statement real clear and it will be posted in general comment and strategies

Can anybody find my 1-page explanation of how lag works that I made almost a quarter of a year ago? I can't, and I certainly remember being called by TMyApp, "Mr. Lag," or something to that effect.

Dan: I've spent hours (more then 2) looking for your post just now.. and I can't find it...

Do a search on "lag" and one on "mr" and see if any topic names sound familiar... other then that.. I wouldn't know.

BTW, did you ever make this??

well, mr.technical(SSJKarma) person. look, your explanation of lag is a bit complex for the average player and ppl who have not reached your level of intelligence might not understand it. I believe you should post two explanations of lag. one that is clear and straight to the point(easier for younger ppl to understand). the other, a more complex explanation for ppl who understand what the internet is or ppl who are interested in how lag really works.
