OPEN: Attack Lag

[Xylenix]

I'm having a lot of trouble with attack lag, and it makes no sense. I'll hit the attack button, see my character hit the enemy, but the damage doesn't register until the enemy has hit back several times (between 6 and 12). Probably trouble at my end, but still, thought I'd mention it.

When you say the damage doesn't register, do you mean:

(1) You get no damage message in your chat window (i.e. "You hit Rolfe for 4 damage.")

or

(2) You get a damage message in the chat window, but your target's red HP bar doesn't update right away.

[Xylenix]

No message, no HP loss. It's severely delayed. It's not a universal constant, it just happens often enough to mention.

[Lordosis]

Can you keep attacking while this is happening but before the damage finally occurs? If so, do you get multiple damage messages at once when they finally register?

[Xylenix]

No, I can't attack at all while waiting for the message. In fact, I can't attack again 'till the "You can use Melee1Attack again" message comes up, then I must wait again for the attack to show up while the enemy keeps attacking at its usual rate.
