Meteor Swarm Talent (Fiery Crater)

#1 Post by DarnYak »

Ok, my suspeicion was this was cuasing lag like fuck (I know for sure it did in earlier versions), but quite a few people are telling me its not. So here's a poll to see if I'm the only one suffering lag, or if my lag was from something else.

Note this is not instant lag, it builds up over a game, so 40m in it should be much more noticable.

Would appreciate people giving this is a test and then repling with results.

From what I've noticed in my in-house games, single-player testing, and online games, I'm gonna have to say I haven't really noticed any lag from the talent.
"L4D2 promises to set a new benchmark for co-op games. . ." Like L4D promised to hand us new maps, survivors, and zombies? We've seen how that works.

Another bump, there's got to be more than 5 people who have experience with this

Would testing this in single player have any meaning?

Don't see why not, assuming you're spamming the crap out of the spell.

Why don't you make a test mode that would reset every all cooldowns every 3 seconds or so, just for the purpose of testing leaks?

I did a test and didn't find any significant lag. It was done in single player, I can do one (long one) on b-net at some point if needed as well.

Replay is 6 mins, about 5 of which are non-stop meteors.

Someone who has experienced the lag should download the replay and see if they get lag from it.

Here's another one. I didn't notice any significant non-normal end game lag then usual, but perhaps it was a bit choppier (note that there was also another bot hosting a game at the time).
