Also, in my experience the game runs smoothly when I first log in and even getting on a boat but during the character introduction screen of starting a dungeon/raid is when everything … (more)starts slowing down. Inside the run, the FPS drops to 10-15 but "clears up" when I turn the UI off throughout the duration of the ensuing battle(s), but immediately drops again whenever the UI/HUD is turned back on and even carries on into town- which is horrible. Lag when moving around, lag when trying to talk to NPCs, lag when trying to check the MP, lag when trying to move to different towns, just lag everywhere 24/7 after touching anything that involves turning on the UI again. Off, everything is fine.. Besides not being able to see any chat boxes or windows. Hope this helps, honestly. (less)
7 months later, this is still an issue that has yet to be fixed and has seemingly gotten worse. Again, the issue started with the Ein Lacher + screen shot mode update, so that's where they … (more)should start looking for where something went wrong at. A LOT of people have quit with in these last few months, and the population is dropping lower and lower as the days pass; I'm willing to bet that this is one of the many reasons why if you have to look from a technological standpoint. Instead of adding more and more new content over pre-existing issues/bugs (which is just making the situation worse), halt it and take the time out to fix the main things people are complaining/concerned about most- this being one of them.
It must be hell for newer players trying to get through the story while having this issue, thus why there aren't many new players staying in this game or joining in general and that translates to no new money while the older players are also leaving in droves. So my question is, why isn't this fixed yet, and what is being done with all the money that we're paying you if it's not going towards creating a better/smoother gaming environment?
Now I will cut Nexon NA some slack since ultimately, they don't really have any control on how the game is being developed and how the issues are being dealt with. I'll even give them credit as the last few events they've been having lately were really good, especially all the free stuff that's been given out- I'm more than happy with that, but at this point.. It's like putting icing on a cake made of fecal matter.. Sure it looks pretty on the outside, but on the inside it's well.. You get the point lol. All NA can do is pass on the messages/complaints of the community to the higher ups, but what are the higher ups doing? Why are all these new outfits being made, but none of the problems being solved? We're also kind of catching up to KR in content, which means they're slacking up over there as well.. What's going on here? (less)
So when you look at what Lann & Fiona are competing against, they get the short end of the stick; as not only do they have to keep up, but the also have to do a bit more for damage to make it feel like you're contributing to party runs/raids.
Would just like to point out that Fiona's mobility is far from bottom tier like Lann's. Her roll distance has been increased ten fold along with being able to use Shield Dash twice (which moves her a considerable distance with a relatively small cooldown of 10? seconds). Add to this the ability to simultaneously block an attack while continuining your own aand buffing the damage and Fiona is a force to be reckoned with. She is most definitely not in the same boat as Lann.
Oh, so only Lann gets screwed over in both regards of damage & mobility lol. Sorry for my misconception of Fiona though haha. So yeah, Sword Lann needs a rework. His attacks consume too much stamina, Slashing High and Risky Wind don't really mitigate that. And even if it did, it wouldn't really accumulate to much if he doesn't put out much damage in the first place, so they'd also have to restore some of his damage by buffing either his Critical Damage or restoring the damage of his Gliding + Lightning/Fury No. 7. The maneuverability thing wouldn't really be much of an issue if it felt more rewarding/satisfying to play him, honestly.
