Default Pking + Lag
Ideas so that lag while pking doesn't end up with people dying with no chance and some people ending up VERY mad and out of alot of money?

Please post here. And I genuinely am sorry Rhoky.

For slow effects, use the slow % but as a negative.

Just repeat for multiple effects.

DO NOT multiply by 1+slow% to get your new delay. 1*1.4 is not the same as 1/0.6 and your answer will be wrong.

It is unlikely that there would be a decent idea to prevent/workaround/whatever lag in such a situation. Rather, it seems that lowering the consequences of PKing is a much more likely fix. Keep in mind consequences can be both positive or negative.

I cannot imagine how lame it must be to be a victim of lag in such a situation. We all know that everyone as their own opinion on PK system reform, though.

If it's actually the server or our ISP causing problems then everyone would lag and no one would gain the advantage. If it's lag localized to a single player then there's nothing that can be done to assist them that would not be exploitable.

most PKers said in civil when bootey was killed cause of the lag, that when they were PKing they were getting bad lag when out killing/farming
