#Can something be changed about the visual effects that lag people to oblivion

in NOL, Orphion has attacks that spawn a lot of light beams that damage players (suns, charging attacks), which for some reason can lag people and make their ping skyrocket to 5 or even 6 digits.
I am also experiencing lag spikes whenever a mage in my party thinks that it will be funny if they spam ice snakes with aspect (other playstyles as well if it involves spamming spells that have heavy particle effects like the old trickobat).
I'm playing with /pq off, and it does not matter if im playing on AS, NA or EU server, i always experience lag spikes whenever Orphion spawns a lot of beams, there is simply nothing i can do other than praying that the dog doesn't charge at me or spawn a sun on top of me.

Can we have

  1. some kind of /toggle commands that remove those effects
    or
  2. change these visual effects (reduce the amount of particles or the effects that spawn)
    /ignore add players doesn't really feel like a good solution to me (and the effects coming from the boss can't be removed that way)

TL;DR
i wish there are toggle commands to turn off certain visual effects that can lag people a lot or just changing problematic visual effects (I will have to rephrase this better), it's just not fun dealing with lags since there is nothing you can do about it

let /pq back nol really kill my fps

Huh, I've never really have lag issues in NOL, and when I day it's few and far between. But it is interesting that you noticed it might be connected to the light beams

Nol does not need this much visual clutter

trim lance
#

nol should shoot more projectiles

jade kraken
#

Nol will always be laggy :(
Also ice snake aspect should just get nuked for now shit ain't useufk and just lags everyone fr

replacing it with blackhole wall of smoke echo

I had the same problem for the past couple of months. NOL is completely unplayable because of it. It seems like it was fixed about a week or two ago but then the lag came back...

#

You all memeimg about server performance when it's just your own network bandwidth if ice snakes are spiking your ping to 5 digits

jade kraken
#

this is true but theres no reason for the ice snake aspect tot exist shit is useless plus causes lag!!

#

yea ice snake obv doesnt lag the server itself but plenty of ppl get shit connections/routing to wynn servers specifically despite having good internet so its easy to see why theyd blame servers

dawn spindle
#

i mean yeah that is kind of the point

#

i don't think people meme it's bad for the server

#

but it does lag clients that can otherwise play wynncraft fine at their bandwith

jade kraken
#

yeah p much

#

and theres not arreal use case for the ice snake aspect rn so i dont see a problem in converrting it to a dif aspect or just temporairly rremoving it

#

where is the gif of someone dropping couple hundred fps from spamming ice snake with cone of cold + snake nest + flashfreeze

dawn spindle
#

fps is ANOTHER issue

trim lance
#

mb gng

full lintel
#

Another but very valid issue

#

/pq is bugged btw, unless they fixed it yesterday

#

anyways, i only started to lag AFTER they released regional servers so its not from our side im sure

#

Well yes I agree nol boss fight has quite a lot of spam of models and entities

#

Causing FPS and client lag for some

#

If someone spamming ice snake makes your ping 10k then id be very surprised if you can join annihilation lol

#

At that point your internet is definitely not good enough

#

annihilation isn't that bad for me though, i only experience unbearable lag when the entire server is lagging (to the point other people started complaining with shout bomb)

#

Plus we have a lot of data to suggest that regional servers have made the average ping to wynncraft drop massively

lime seal
#

and they are usually not visual when you arent close to mobs, but spike you to 10k ping if you get close to one

#

nol has it really bad because it spawns like 5 billion of these mobs, so if you have a laggy proxy you are unable to do anything

neat pine
#

The proxies aren't experiencing this kind of lag though. Like I'd love to look into it but it's just not there

lime seal
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

neat pine
#

Like I said already I agree that nol spams too much shit lol

#

But general server performance outside of Anni is basically always fine

#

if its a consistent lag then ig its an internet issue, for me though it can be quite random

whole mortar
#

my ping is fine on other areas. now, i always have to use cloudflare warp or a vpn to do raids and annie. it does increase my ping, but it also make it more stable

#

also my ping never got changed when i play other servers btw, which is why i think its wierd that it only happens to wynncraft after AS regional servers were added

#

i can send a video of me playing hypixel and me playing a wynncraft raid if u genuinely dont believe me

whole mortar
#

i know u said u changed nothing on na servers, but i dont know why i stared to lag after AS servers got released

neat pine
#

I don't know either are you sure it's not just placebo of now playing on real as servers and having decent ping?

#

Because all of the current na servers are the same as old Wynn servers and nothing else changed

amber jackal
#

Some AS player when pf and go NA EU : 50K PING

#

And it's back to normal PING when room finish or dead

#

Raiding on NA has been horrible for me for the past week and I'm from NA. I've had to swap to EU just for stability

#

imo i dont remember playing this kind of ping when shaman were released
and like at that time personally EU is the only thing thats playable
but now the table turned and like as to eu is yea
you gotta predict an hour in advance

Actually, all of them I’ve participated in so far have been fine, until the last one

#

Which, for some reason I was constantly so lagged out I could not do anything during the entire fight

#

Coincidentally we had an ice snake spammer saltroll

#

But I’m not willing to blame it on him since I’ve had ice snake spammers in tna before and it was completely fine

#

The situation is just weird ig

eternal trout
#

don't really know much about internet'n stuff so i have a genuine question, if i lag in wynncraft but im able to upload and watch videos/images on discord or watch video on youtube(while lagging in game), is that my internet's issue or wynncraft server's issue

#

ex: my and my friend lagging so much so we upload screenshots to our discord server, the game is still lagging but we can upload things to discord

#

(not that we're uploading images to discord so it lags in game but it's lagging so we upload screenshots to discord)

eternal trout
#

ice snake aspect + arcanist is just so bad

whole mortar
#

ngl i find it a bit funny that they said models would reduce lag lol

#

it probably does comapred to particles though (especially considering /pq is bugged to be on high all the time)
