I am not the only one here that will probably start a topic like this but my question and discussion now would be about the lag, its minor spikes and my deaths that cost me 2000 CE already cause of that problem. Now most people will probably write "You cant play you n00b" im sorry but every time i hear a sound effect trigger something i press X to raise my shield > Problem ?

I press the shield 0.25 milisecond before the strike appears and i get damaged trough my shield and i get my shield damaged aswell durning that process.
Its not like im complaining or something i did Solo Roarmulus twins a couple of 10 times and its not the problem. I sometimes have a clean sweep gameplay but if the Lag spikes do not appear, mostly they appear when 2-4 enemys appear i get so Spiked they just zerg me down. Its not a problem to pay 5 - 10 Energy to ressuract but above that i just reset to get the cash i could get in 2 runs faster.

My question now is: "Can you somehow reduce the lagginess of the game ?" Cause i just run Spirals on my laptop and setted everything on minimum + my router is next to my laptop so the connection and game preference are not a prob here. Forwardly i wont yap about the 2000 CE cause it gets me QUITE frustrated to remmember when i gameplay and a rocket hits me just cause i was trying to hit the switch and shield before the other 10 make it to me. So i just wana know about the lag...

Still am a fan of the game but am not a fan of Lag's

The

The shielding-25-milliseconds-before-something-hits-me-but-it-hits-me-anyway thing happens to me every day and I think it's because I have only one bar (judging from watching Youtube videos of Spiral Knights where when they shield 25 milliseconds before an attack, it actually blocks the attack). So maybe you have one bar like me. \._./

Yeah i agree kinda a bit

Yeah i agree kinda a bit harsh on it that lag kills most of us... Hell i'm a 2* dude and people sometimes invite me to Vanaduke and my mission is to turn off the fire and ressuract people and its not a problem unless cause of the lag the fire doesnt turn off or i accidently hit Vanaduke cause of the lag and he INSTA GIB's ME.... So yeah i do know how you all guys feel, i just think opening closer servers or less laggy servers to make it better. I still think the game is A LOL TON OF A FUN

Yep. Get rid of the laptop.
