Partying system...

[xLeviathan]

Is stupid. Really. I've been in probably over 200 parties and finished less than 5 with at least 1 person with me. :pineapple:

Where do you live? Do you use wireless internet?

Sometimes people just can't party with others. I've never had problems connecting with people, and usually if there's lag it's because of someone else, and it goes back to normal once they disconnect. You could try opening your ports to allow better connection on DFO. But even so Nexon themselves have stated the p2p connection system has flaws and that they're working on it as much as they can.

Never partied with randoms. Had very few problems. I think there's only one or two regular SP players that I can't connect well enough with. That's all that matters to me.

I think a lot of people are playing on wired connections, and Mark most likely hit the nail on the head. Wireless connections have a lot more data loss and generally aren't as good for these types of connections.

Irregardless, I don't have this problem in any other game. Never have, and they've all been wireless as well. I don't think it would hurt them to rewrite their connection handler using a different method. I believe this method was simply carried over from Korea where it most likely works 10x better since almost everyone there is wired and live on top of each other, literally.

Oh well.

EDIT: I live in North Carolina, and I stick in the East servers. But I have a feeling a lot of West people use the East servers. If they do, shame on them, idiots. I can't wait until August when I move into my apartment. Then I'll have a high speed wired connection and probably a better computer anyway.

If I party, it's mostly with my friend and we never have issues. The two times I partied with randoms though...I / others dropped after the first few rooms - I won't be partying like that for awhile. I'm one of the idiots that, until recently, was playing on West servers even though I'm on the East coast. Will also probably start using a wired connection if I party with others - I forgot that's better for this sort of thing, if less convenient for me. Connection>Comfort.

Yeah, I've seen that with West Coasters a lot.
"Oh hey, you're connection is bad. You must be on the East Coast. -Kick-"
The fucks? Go to the West servers then?

You know, I actually never find MYSELF lagging, despite my wireless. Though I do think I could be the problem, I'm never the one being told I'm lagging or being asked to leave.
Ahh...grr.
