Lag

Roma Victor is thee game ive been looking for, great gameplay, decent graphics, huge craft and combat system, and therefor a definite for me.

All this will be killed completly if theres alot of lag. When i was watching the videos at the sight, they all showed alot of lag. If theres lag, they can add any features and tweaks they want because they wont amount to jack when it takes forever for your choppy moving character to do them. Getting better servers or host computers or whatever it takes to get rid of more lag is in my opinion basically one of the most important things, because a shitty game that you can play lag free will be more fun then a great game that has a ton of lag.

Edit: can i hear some support or flaming on this?

    The lag you saw in the movie was FPS...and since it's a beta, those frame rates were really pretty good for that dirty of code.  The connection was just fine, the problem was with the computer running it.  If it was a more powerful computer (or the code was more refigned) then  you wouldnt have seen that "lag".  Here's a little leak from the GOCaT forums:

    Lag when used in our particular technical context usually refers to network latency. This means the speed of the connection between your computer and the servers. 

    Frame rate is measured in frames per second, and therefore also sometimes known as FPS. If you have debug text enabled in your client you'll see this number in the top-left of your display. Frame rates have much less to do with the network and much more to do with the performance of your computer when running this software. 

    Please be sure that when you report lag, you're not actually referring to low frame rates and vice-versa. 

    Thanks - the differentiation means a lot to us!
