japan's equally far from the us as australia, or nearly anyway.  same region basically

sucks to be aussie?  idk what to say but its a aussie thing not a distance from the us thing.

Australians likely have a ping between 150-250 ms, so there is upwards of an additional 1/4 second delay between each command.  Also many Australians are limited to one company (telstar I think) which provides shitburger quality internet.

shitburger.

All I'm saying is that macros with multiple commands don't work instantly, and therefore are not infallible.  Whether the time period is longer because I'm playing from Australia, I couldn't say.

They are however extremely fast of course.  You would probably need to have a msg response or be holding down a macro of your own to have a chance of beating one.

So I'm guessing that's why I asked an Aussie if it was strictly from his perspective that he was basing his statements.  Don't troll up a serious thread.

Right, it would depend on which commands reached the server first..  If someone was spamming a hide macro, and another a search attack macro...

the commands might be processed in an order like this

1:hide
2:sea
1:hide
2:attack
1:hide
2:sea
1:hide
1:hide
2:attack
2:sea
1:hide
1:hide
2:attack
1:hide
2:sea
2:attack

Either way, this is not a desirable game mechanic.

Shouldn't we do something to handle the bizzaro spamming of confusion messages on spells like these?  Doesn't look right.

Yeah that's not the only place we see that behavior either.  There are many instances where we're getting multiple messages where there should only be one.

In a mmud realm would be impossible behavior.  I don't know if I'm entirely against it..but its something to think about and consider.  Are there any extreme examples where this would be extremely abusable?  Like a ninja stacking darts, nets, and bombs on you?

As I recall we have the between round system limited to only 1 instant spell, so it *should not* be possible.

btw, Addy is secretly trying to justify his tactics of robbing ganghouses...


As I'm sure most of you know...You can stack commands from the gmud menu......And on the side, a dupe to time rounds.  Just sayin.
