Heidi Wrote:I'm in NZ, and even on a very good connection, I get a little loot lag. I can't do the trick where you hold down loot and go through a line of drops like I have seen some US players do. On my connection at home (My one at school is a good bit better) I can expect to spend 1 second at least/ item when looting. Unfortunatly the way it is coded is stupid, and completly screws over people that are far from the server. You can only loot one item at a time, and can't start looting the next one until the first one is looted. Pets are different though for some reason, and they can loot many items at the same time. Meaning that for a lagger like myself, a pet really is a good advantage.
It's not what causes the ownership problems though. I'd say that's a glitch.
I am playing without a pet recently as well... not gonna get one until my inter-semesters in june... to keep myself off Maple so I study XD
I loot slower than a snail, and I watch US players loot like they got super tubi
Although mu internet connection speed is quite decent, I still lag when I try to loot. It was a lot worse when I used to try and play with DIAL UP...
off topic: Heidi, you from Otago uni? I used to hear my friend complain about the internet connection on campus, saying that was only lil faster than dial up. o.O
