Idea to help ease lag while traveling
« on: May 15, 2011, 10:53:09 pm »
As many know, lag is an unfortunate part of Feral-Heart for people with not-so-great computers. The lag is also the worst, as I have heard, in Bonfire. Where many people simply sit all day. For someone with a slow computer, bonfire can be a nightmare to walk through. This is also true for Ficho, and maybe even Fluorite. So when someone with a slow computer is trying to get to the cape, or Fluorite from Bonfire, it can be a huge hassle.

So I propose a "Turn off everyone's character" button. This is a button that would do as it says: turn off everyone's avatar on the map. Also, beside the button, maybe a population count for the map. So someone would know if the amount of people on the map would cause them horrible lag.  

Obviously most people would not use this if they want to hang out on a map, but it could be a great thing for people who are traveling and don't want to be held back, or have the game crash, because of lag.
Sorry if this has been said, I didnt see it posted anywhere though. What do you all thing about it? :)

Aye, I do have lag at Bonfire. But it's no bad in Ficho or Flourite. But, for people with really bad computers, this'd be a good idea if it was possible. I also really like the population count idea. Even if there were no lag, it'd be interesting to see how many players are in one map.
