Even More Vindictus

So I thought I'd post some more thoughts on the game Vindictus that I am currently beta testing.

First off I should note that the game is Peer to Peer so usually the only thing that matters are the players connections, especially in the case of the host as everyones connection is relative to his (if he has a slow connection your packets sent to him will be received and responded to slowly creating lag) The reason I mention this is because atm there is a nasty bug where everyone regardless of connection cant get a decent connection to other peers (or players) so everyone but the host is always laggy, hopefully they will fix that soon.

also even when your not lagging the movement in the game can be a little slow to respond I find (even when you're hosting which should be almost the same speed as offline with basicly zero lag) which makes some of the more intense fights very irritating as I find that I have to dodge before and enemy attack even starts, this combined with the rising elitist attitude players who've adapted to it have taken a liking to really detracts from the game.
