Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yeah, and the lag is also really killing the game. Even on Barton's team I can't score because over half my time is spent waiting for the invulnerability to wear off before my first hit even registers, then the last half left of my time is so laggy that I can only register a few hits before time runs out. Even though I'm surrounded by targets and have clicked on every single one of them... I'm still on 18 with this account, though I haven't tried as much as for Durem of course.

Aekea and Gambino have such an advantage though, that even with lag they still get their 20s consistently.

There's actually quite a lot of Barton players. Not as much as Durem, but definitely next down the ladder. Aekea and Gambino are a breeze, lol. Got 20's on those accounts first try.

If the lag would quit, then it would certainly be so much better.

Or they could extend the time period to account for the lag. I mean, if the game will only register 5 hits max due to the time it takes the server to process them in 30 seconds, then that's not exactly fair now is it?

Ugh, this lag is ridiculous. Sometimes my very first move doesn't even register until there's 2 seconds left in the clock. xp

Looks like they solved the major lag problem! They've increased the timer to 60 seconds (1 minute), and now you actually have time to move around, plus your character is so much more responsive as well.

It's still a fail for Durem as I can now clear the entire screen of all non-Durem players easily, but I still can't get more than 8 or 10 points before there's nobody left to hit. However... the game is SO much funner irregardless. lol.

Getting 20 for Barton is easy now, as the lag was the only thing holding me back there.

Yup, much better. But you've probably read my next post by now. xD Still stacked against Durem, but much better to play and could now be possible for Durem if a bunch of teams got together and went in together.

Oh, and you'll notice they turned off the music now... I guess that was important to remove the lag. wink

Yeah, the gunshots are how you know you didn't just turn the volume off on your computer, lol.

I wish they would always leave the volume like that! The two problems with towns has always been 1) the lag, and 2) the music. Who knew they could both be solved together, lol?

Even Durem, or all the rest?

I have 20 on everybody but Durem right now. xD Durem's still at 15, and I've only gotten half of that since the change, I assume because now it's easier for everyone else so they've stopped playing, limiting our targets even more, lol. Or else they're spreading us out more to reduce the lag...

I just did a small test though, and it worked... I know how we can get a 20 on Durem characters if we all get together with all our non-Durem mules, lol. You can bring mules into the game if you use the direct link of http://gaiaonline.com/launch/towns2/ instead of using the Play Now button in each window. That will allow you to open a separate instance of the towns. I just did this with Hexatus, and I was able to bring her into the game and hit her with Ned-san. If it works for one, it'll work for all... I have 4 accounts which are not Durem playing in the Olympics. That's 8 points for each Durem member.
