Would this help lag at all ?

Saber Alumba · 08-05-2015

Idk if these two ideas would help at all , but it won't hurt asking

So the first idea would be an option to not show irrelevant players ? Similar to the chats option you could chose to only show the relevant characters such as friends , guild friends and people
You are sparring ? This way you would not have to load up the masses of irrelevant players around you. This option would not be available in towers as you need to see the attackers.

Idk if that help but it would be neat if it did.

The second idea is about all of the heads , shields and swords.if they are downloaded into people's devices could there be an option not to download them ? If this option is switched on you would see everyone wearing the default noob head , body and sword. Yes it might be dull to play like this but if it helps reduce lag why not give us the option on.

Sorry if non of these would actually help lag :/

I like the first idea! The second one could be solved by yourself just reinstall the app from time to time.

reinstalling the app still download a lot of stuff you don't really use automatically , also this would make it so you don't have to reinstall the app all of the time.

Those only solve old device lag. Server lag can only be solved with a server upgrade.

My dev isn't really old but I get a lot of freezing , especially past 3.8 k players and we reach above that ever day from what I can see. so even a small lag improvement would really make a difference for me and probably many others.

If you see your character walking slowly, then it's your device.

If you are walking at normal speed and everyone is warping, then it's the server.

Or possibly your router, if you ask someone else and they aren't lagging.

But when the server has 3,000-4,000 people online, then it's definetely not your router that is the problem.

If only it would happen, because I mean I'm sure the server is getting worst.

Its pretty much the middle one but + the freezing.

If you have even a low-end laptop I recommend you play Graal on that instead of your mobile device, its a much better experience without all of the random split second freezing that you may get from all of the custom graphics and whatnot. The only real downside is that there are some pretty garbage hotkeys (there are none for opening, closing and responding to PMs)

I would switch however i am an idev sparer , i also like the in pocket convenience.I am aware pc does not as many problems at idev as i have tried it before.

We really do need them. i mean we are reaching 4 k pretty much every day and the server is barely playable at those times, now imagine gst , where people actually have a reason to all get online. Might be a bit overboard but I can see server reaching 5 k+

1. "Irrelevant players" - lol'd. The thing here is, Graal is an MMO. It would only be practical to hide non-friend/member players in indoor levels, and possibly in Graal City.

2. Yes, please. I've asked for similar things before. There's no reason for my device to have 15,000+ eyesores sitting in the heads cache folder.

I don't see this option ever added into the game because it discourages players from buying character slots

Why not just disconnect players from the server when they go afk for more then 10 minutes, As you can see graal is currently plagued with people afking instead of actually playing the game.

If you need examples of where these people AFK

The main part of graal city below bank
Burger refuge
The bank
Next to the stairs entrance to the guild spar rooms
Destiny (people camping for hats)
100, 200, 500, 1000. 2000 hour places
Outside towers - Specifically MoD
And near the entrance to graal city where all the "codeshops" are
People afk on drasines "sleeping irl"

Instead of disconnecting and immediately reconnecting to the server why not just disconnect them, it'll reduce the player count greatly and maybe take some weight off of the server

For me the game lags no more than it did in 2012

There is a system that disconnects afk players , there has been for some time now from my understanding however it does not seem to be very affective.Server updates are the only thing they can do to really solve the problem I believe.
