I just remembered why I don't do PVP3/4

[Dorsai]

This is not a whine.

If I go into PVP and I get killed that is OK, It's PVP.

If I go into PVP-lootable, and get looted of my Dung by the same Un-named Twat who always kills me and loots me, that's fine, It's PVP-lootable.

The getting killed, and the losing loot is OK by me. If I did not want this to happen, I would stay out.

What pisses me off is that I can go most everywhere else and get descent frame-rates, little lag, and see other avi's in my scope a long way off. PA might get a bit slow, but it's crowded.
Enter a PVP or PVP-lootable zone, and I am suddenly wading through glue, frame rates drop, guns won't equip, and visibility (through a scope) drops so I can't see my hand in front of my face, and there is nothing on my radar. Should a GD arrive, god forbid, I go from frames per second to seconds per frame.
NO wonder I fall down dead all the time. All it takes is for someone hostile to start shooting at me, and the next frame I see is me dead.

Why?

I know it takes SKill to be good at PVP, but Why do MA make the PVP zones so laggy?
Go in with a non-hostile friend, and I am ok, till someone starts shooting at us, then "Glue time".

It's no wonder we see people whining about PVP. PVP seems to have a "frame rate dependent on skill". BLP sniper level 10, 10 frames per second: BLP Sniper level 80, 80 frames per second. No wonder I die at their hands> They can move, and I am in Jerk-o-vision.

So what's the trick?
How do those good at PVP manage to see me when I can't see them?
How do they shoot me, when from my view point they are on the other side of a hill, with the hill in the way?
Why is it that as soon as they shoot at me, it's like they are shooting me with a "stasis" gun?
This PC is not The Dogs Nuts, by any means, but it copes OK with everything EU throws at it, until someone tries to shoot me in an areas where it counts.

I know one clear shot with a gun that does more damage that I have Hp will kill me.
I just don't get how they shoot me from the other side of a hill, how they make me "lagg up" so I can't fire back, or how they see me from so far away.



Looking for some advise, as I must be doing something wrong.

odd this. in pre final WoF practice someone else mentioned the poor frame rate, but i dont have any significant issue there and i have a pretty average-lower end rig. many other areas, such as Swiss or north of Segna slow me, but not PVP. i wonder what causes this?

[Lobbe]

wow sounds a bit odd I don't feel it that way. I don't think PVP is more laggy
strange hope some1 has a clue

[Hardicus]

I have to turn all settings to minimum in order to enter PVP4, when I had a rig that would run at full settings all the time without any problems.

Now my PC is crap, so I can't even get near PVP without a CTD.

I have made several ventures into PVP areas.

In non-loot ones, it is noticeable, but not too bad. If it is PVP lootable, I "Bog down". I don't think the final outcome of a confrontation would be any different if I did not, but as it is I just die. I might as well not wear armour, and leave my gun at home. I see a GD, It comes towards me, I get my gun out, I lose health, Frame rate falls... I die.

Perhaps Lootius is just trying to tell me I am not a Killer and Looter of corpses.

[Nighthawk]

never had this problem ^^

[Jason J. T.]

I have never noticed anything like that... however I used to get amazing lag from any sort of explosions. So attacking me with that sort of weapon on PVP would not end nice for me... fortunately I don't suffer from that lag now

[dotc0m]

I noticed there lag involved only when specific avatars are arounds...

so i concluded those avatar were cheating in a kind of impossible way to prove... by slowing down server, having a bad ping or whatever. but laggyness came only if it was some avatar.

is that a feature? ur uber = u make others lag in pvp?

still unknown to me but i jump out each time my framerate goes down like mad because when the lag start, i have just enuff time to charge the tp then one of the infamous greendot i added to my "special list" of laggy-pvp'er suddendly appear...

For me it is the Lagweed.

That silly grass that grows about the place, and all over PVP4.

Does not matter for me if it is in PVP4 or any one of the other LA's that cultivate this Lagweed, the result is the same for me, frame rates down to under 8 at best.

The same grassy shit on Eudoria present no problems at all for me. Only the grass on Amathera for me.

Ah, I had that issue with trees (Especially at Segna), on my old PC card.
And before that with older gfx card, water made my fps drop below 10 all the time.

After I got my new PC, I have no such problems.


Oh btw: Lagweed!
