I should probably look up what the things are for my team, and get more magikarp candies. .-. As it is I just use whatever I have as the strongest...

[Yokuutsu]

My strongest is 900 and something cp

[ml1201]

I have a couple that's broken 1k, but apparently there is a society of secret gamers or something here. o.o; I live in the hicks but in a game called Let it Die my state is one of the strongest in the world. o.o;

[Yokuutsu]

My friend played a bit of let it die....but Time Warner sucks on internet....so...there's a bit of a problem with lag? Which makes no sense since he was playing single player.

[ml1201]

Actually it does because it still need net to access account information for all the games.

[Yokuutsu]

So? It shouldn't be enough to lag battles in game. That's a problem. You don't need account information to punch an AI enemy in the face.

[Demonskid]

i have 4 thats over 1k ovo

[Yokuutsu]

Let me borrow one?

I wish they had breeding....and more egg slots. I want ALL THE EGGS!

And all my eggs are 5km eggs >_<

You DO need realtime battle information to prevent cheating, though. The Pokemon Go client does very little work in and of itself. It sends information to the server about where you are and what you're trying to do, and the rest of the game is done server-side. Otherwise, someone could cheat by TELLING the server that they won the gym battle when it was over.

[Yokuutsu]

We weren't talking about Pokemon Go for a moment. We were talking about Let it Die.

[ml1201]

The same would still apply to Let it Die either way. *shrugs*

I mean its not like Xenoverse where character data is saved on the system and people can hack their characters and give themselves max stats. They save character information live on a server, that's why it lags like it does.

[Coda]

It was also a reasonable complaint about Pokemon Go because it has that problem. ^^; Sorry, I've been... very tired today. Brain isn't functioning anywhere close to 100%.

[Yokuutsu]

So how would you like it if you were playing...say Dragon Age and the game lagged in the middle of a battle? Because it is the same thing....still fighting again AI created by the game that has been downloaded onto your console....when you are playing against the computer. Now, arena battles or whatever when you are going against someone else? Perfectly fine.

But, essentially, Let it Die and games like it are saying screw you not well to do people.....and people who only have one choice on internet and it's a crappy one. We have the best tier internet, paying for 50mbps....sometimes we don't even get 1mbps. It would be different if there was actually something that needed the internet to check at the moment, but there isn't.

Pokemon Go is a different story, from the get go, you know it depends on 24/7 internet...and it's geared towards phones which means not as much data needed. Let it Die? The only thing I can really find that it should need internet for is using avatars of dead characters for skins for enemies for other people...which should be a split second download as enemies appear, nothing to lag a fight.


@Coda....just letting you know XD Cause Pokemon Go is upfront on the internet requirement...I hate the games that are in the section of not needing internet to play so you get it installed and everything, go to it...oh you don't have internet? No play for you! >_< -mostly unrelated-

[Coda]

Obviously it's not an ideal user experience, but for F2P games cheating -- even in singleplayer -- has a direct impact on revenue.

[ml1201]

No, because its not just pulling data on just that one enemy, but on everything. And I have had issues like that with pokemon go where its not correctly registering my gps location because I'll be parked right next to the water tower at the end of my street, but the game registers me further down the road by where I live even when using a 4g speed dataplan. And this is because I live in the hicks.

[Yokuutsu]

Well, apparently they'd rather lose more revenue from people leaving the game because lag kills them....when there's no reason for it to be pulling internet.

It is the same thing. What does it need the internet for? You downloaded the game, it loaded it from the game you downloaded. He only lags during battles against the computer. Apparently whoever made Let it Die does not care about money or making a good product. Because this is not too many people on a server lag or it would all lag.

And Pokemon Go's GPS is never accurate...it can be kind of accurate, but I've had it send my character running down the street and back and then gave me the pop up about pokemon go and driving when I'm walking up the street. But I also had to turn off wifi and bluetooth gps stuff just to get the game to work.
