What ya think about removing the illusion portion of the NPC Root??


It's one hell of a lag creator when a big raid gets suddenly illusioned and then everyone starts dispelling(RC3)asap then this happens multiple times per fight.... its like wham wham chunk chunk...

Lago-mighty!!!!!


Hunter anyway we can remove this part of the NPC Root (just the illusion part)??

I'm in agreement here with the troll on this one Hunter. The illusion part of the root if we are able to remove would reduce the lag factor by 100 easily b/c it really is what causes alot of us to crash/desync whatever i've noticed this and when a large number of ppl all RC3 to get rid of it or click reward item it also causes new lag to happen.

Still would have to RC to get rid of root but the process of illusioning 20+ players, then RC, then re-illusion, then re-RC, , , , , , This would stop that zone spike from happening over and over....

I have noticed most of the de-syncs are happening around this.

Definitely seeing this also. There is a noticeable hitch that happens everytime a raid of toons gets illusion like this. Taking out the illusion component won't take the intended difficulty out of the encounter.

The illusion was suppose to be fun, and you can visually see who is rooted. I can take it out though to increase performance.

I really hate to butt in on the gentlemen that are ahead of the game and work hard to be there. I do value performance overall and can agree with their request.

I do have to ask if it was unavoidable to remove this from all roots in all zones. Not only was it "fun" to see the graphic, but it was a visual identifier that some of my boxes were still rooted.

I guess my point is. I am farming in PoG (Hohonora) and the root changes were applied there as well.

If you can separate the two that would be awesome, if not no biggie.

Also, thank you very much for the double loot  Smiley

Isn't the fact that your dudes aren't following you enough of an indicator that they are rooted?

No that does not satisfy. The visual indicates that I can begin breaking root before the mob is dead.

I can understand the Ease associated with the visual cue of the root, but the Playablity granted by its removal far outways it.

Ill have to pay more attention to the buff boxes now on effects but it better then watching the lag-o-death meter Wink

Thanks Hunter
