Weapon hit ability

[MadMark]

Is anyone else having this problem? I have over 3000 in rifle and over 2600 in handgun skill, yet I only hit apx 80% of the time eco-hunting with the Opalo and Korss H400. Sometimes it's as bad as 50%.

80% i could understand - 50% would indicate to me some sort of lag-related issue - maybe try slowing down on how often you fire to see if your hits pick up, as a test?

I tried all that plus more and even lowered my connection speed, etc. No lag on my end anyway. It didn't do much for the firing rate of the 400 though!

Heres what support said the frist time I asked about it...


"Hi,
We have had some similar reports and this issue is being thoroughly investigated. According to the information we have received so far, this problem is most likely related to lag. Sometimes issues occur that are related to the Entropia Universe server systems, the client, the connection, Internet as a whole, the participant's ISP or home computer that affect performance. Unfortunately we will never be able to create a lag-free Entropia Universe. This is due to the fact that lag can be caused by so many factors. However, the investigation is now concentrating on where in the communication chain such lag appears and should we find any issues on our side, we will fix them as soon as possible.

Here are some suggestions for you to try;
1) Check with your ISP whether there are any limitations in their FTP services (even if your bandwidth is great, different ISPs have different regulations of how much of the traffic is allotted to FTP traffic).

2) Check your connection by the trace route-tool:
Steps to run the Traceroute command:
Click Start and then Run
Type in "command" or "cmd" and press Enter
In the command window, type ?tracert rp.project-entropia.com? and press the Enter key.

A high value, for example greater than 200 ms for broadband or 350 ms for dial-up, indicates that traffic is slow, and can cause latency or 'laggy' play.

3) Change the Internet connection speed on the Entropia Universe Login window under ?Options? (button in left bottom corner) under section ?Connection?. Even though you have ADSL or an even better connection, try setting the connection speed to 56 kbit to check if that improves your situation. If this resolves your issue, you may try to set it higher step by step, to see which connection speed works best for your system.

4) Under 'Options (O)' in Entropia Universe; make sure 'Move to target when interacting' is chosen.

5) Please also try avoiding queuing up events if the environment seems laggy and check whether your situation will improve or not

Kind regards,
Entropia Support"

Connection problems.

Try enabling 'queue tool action on reload' (or something similar named) in ingame options.

Or complain to support - they'll basically tell you that all is fine.

I noticed the increase of shots missed after the latest VU aswell. I have no "lag" infact gameplay is better than ever and still I get upto 4-5 misses more per mob.
This problem seems to come back for some reason in 2-3 VU's every year since I started.

I tried it, but it didnt help.

If its a lag problem, I dont see why it didnt affect me before, theres always been lag.

+ Rep to all for the advice, thanks.

After second last VU(immediately after update) my old A3 Punisher Mk1 just about missed everytime once the mob was in mellee range, only at 50-100% max distance did it HIT.I had to change to Axe at close range.
Reported to support and they said they would look into it.
They gave me the lag sidestep, but they seem to find it difficult to take responsibility for flaws after a VU.
It is everyones or anythings fault except for the VU
I sold the Punisher,lol, because if you wait for MA to take responsibility it is possible you could be holding your breath for a very long time.
Much bigger games than EU have no trouble saying they have bugs from new patch or even bring out a bug list and say they will work through them, why cant MA be man enough to be honest.
Strange, not like anyone is going to give them the strap,lol.

I checked and i have it with opalo too, but not constantly.
Must be an extra income source for MA then

I think all MA is worried about is going public at the moment. I also think I'll give the game a rest for a while. The Russians have come out with a close copy of the game still in testing, but worth looking into.
