Well I'm the friend that's having the problems. Wanted to elaborate on what Thulious wrote here.
First, it's a 360m but I hardly doubt that really matters.
Now to elaborate -
I'm typically sitting around 90ms as previously stated, and rarely see anything above 100 (West Coast Player - Seattle).
When I go to attack a mob, click to open a door, sell to a vendor, etc. The result can be instant at any given time or it can take as Thulious said, literally 2 minutes.
What I know is that this is not a targeting issue on my end, it's not a range issue, as my chat is filled with nothing about me swinging or attempting or missing or facing the wrong direction etc. Just the mob hitting or missing me. It happens with "Con" as well, I could con four mobs and then all the sudden, maybe 30 seconds or a minute down the road, it pops up on the screen. Not all at once like Live did when you'd have typical lag. But if I con'd a mob, waited 2 seconds, con'd a second mob, waited 10 seconds and con'd a third. It would pop up in the chat maybe 2 minutes down the road exactly that same way. However, attacks don't catch up, they just start. In live, if you lagged, all your attacks from the start of the lag to the catch up time would spam your chat. Not in this case.
All the while this is happening, rather my attack is showing up instantly, or it's taking the "2 minute" scenic route, My ping is changing, but not going above 100ms.
I'm puzzled. It's like lag spikes, but it's not. In the sense that the world isn't lagging, People aren't running in place or running off forward and then teleporting back. I see Thulious's every move as I'm unable to attack or loot or open a door. In fact I have to have him open a lot of doors for me. (He's so Chivalrous) >_>
I really want to be apart of the 1999 community, I love that you guys brought what we've all wanted back from the SOE expansion ashes, but as a Monk since Tribunal came out, I know that I won't last long without being able to send those fists a flutterin. Dodge is only Half the battle ^_^
