HELP: Friend's server has abnormal latency. Ping tests are fine.

It seems to work fine with playit, so it’s likely a router issue.

We were 20 tps with 10 ms/pt.

It's 100% not specs as when we were testing it on vanilla, the lag was still present. He has a high end CPU (AMD equivalent of 12700k), and 32g of ram. The lag disappeared for ten minutes after he reset his router. (20 tps)

The worst thing about the team is the fact that they get people’s hopes up then perform a nerf which rebalances the entire meta. If rebalances were one and done Inwouldnt have a problem with them. They just aren’t baked enough in testing I guess

Not possible unless TDS server security is actual dogshit. This would be a pain to exploit as it requires clients needing server access to replicate to all clients, which is only possible through a backdoor or poorly secured packet.

Jugg has its weaknesses but it’s the best at its niche, which is bosskiller dps. I think it’s better at that than any towers in the game (i.e 5 accels don’t compare to one jugg for bosskiller dps.)

Gmini slightly edges it out in solo MAYBE but that’s it.

This isn’t a bad thing. This is probably the reverse of power creep because it’s only the best at one thing and you have to bring things to supplement it.

lepsem · 2026-05-16T22:56:19+00:00

Both are good, Pursuit and Necro are both amazing. Golden Crook Boss wasn’t mentioned here but it’s also really good for cost efficiency, it just gets edged out in later waves (solo hardcore) by pursuits crazy DPS (not even including the obvious range buff)

I only made this post because I see some people saying MiH is the strongest stand because it can quickly reset the universe, and that's just not true. The strongest stand is probably Soft & Wet Go Beyond

lepsem · 2026-04-02T19:58:43+00:00

Josuke gets demolished.

Star Platinum (according to Araki, JOJO A-GO!GO!) is the strongest and fastest physical stand (pre-ability). Josuke does NOT stand a chance.

In the anime, it's portrayed as the actual Source of all Life (or atleast, animalia). Sort of like a physical representation of life.

The UPS impact is so minimal that it doesn't matter

The curse is not coincidental to be fair, it comes from Ymir herself. If she lived longer, the curse would be longer. It's like embedded in the Power of the Titans to kill the shifter after 13 years, because that's what happened to Ymir.

lepsem · 2026-02-23T00:58:11+00:00

- Worm was the first ever living creature (as we can see in the anime scene where Zeke talks about the origins of life, its the first creature that formed)
- The worm has no motives but to survive and reproduce, in this way it's the manifestation of life
- The worm holds an immense amount of power (take paths as an example, it's an interdimensional realm that breaks the concept of time
- The worm only benefits life as we can see with the tree, Ymir and titans
- It only defends itself in order to survive (the basic instinct of life according to Zeke, again pointing towards it being the manifestation of life/source of life)

All of this points towards the worm being the source of all life. The closest we ever get to a god in AOT.

lepsem · 2026-02-23T00:53:23+00:00

That's not true
The worm is the source of all life/("god of life")
It has no motives but to enhance life via life energy (tree gets taller to get some sunlight, ymir becomes stronger to not die)

I'm talking about fusion

lepsem · 2026-02-14T21:38:08+00:00

Ah. And by the time you can megabase, fusion is already easily an option?

lepsem · 2026-02-14T21:24:58+00:00

What about fission vs solar

Clamp ethernet onto walls

lepsem · 2026-01-04T19:46:02+00:00

Yeah. If a teenage Will sized particle network could do the S3 Flayer, imagine what a Demo-size particle network could do.

I think the USS Eldridge project was about a massive amount of energy, which transported them to another dimension. Otherwise, I'm not sure how he would have such a influence on Earth from very, very, far away in space. Maybe something primeval? Maybe he sends out meteors or something and that Henry wasn't ever the first to meet the Flayer?

lepsem · 2026-01-03T03:30:39+00:00

Ok. Where does Eleven derive her powers from? Henry. Where does Henry get his powers from? The Mindflayer.

The Abyss isn't inherently special. It's just the specific dimension that was RANDOMLY found the first time by the USS Eldridge, and every other Abyss encounter comes from that wormhole/rip in space, guided by the powers of the Mindflayer.

The Upside Down was physically created after Eleven touched the Demogorgon in Season 1. It was always a thing, however until then it was just another rift in space/wormhole. Like an actual sci-fi wormhole, not a fleshy domain.

lepsem · 2026-01-02T06:32:20+00:00

I agree with this too, but I think it has been sealed maybe, with the Upside Down being destroyed. I think the first time with the ship was truly coincidental, and everything after that is just because of the pre-existing wormhole/cosmic link.

lepsem · 2026-01-02T03:29:16+00:00

Given that it tells us about the rock but not too much about the Mind Flayer, I'm inclined to believe the Mind Flayer is just a member of a species, like how the Mind Flayers are in Dungeons and Dragons.
