Any archers here? Sometimes when i kill mobs, shots are working only on second hit,fourth, sixth, eight... Dont know if it happens after skill or what. I will try to record. But i just reactivate shots and reequip weapon then its ok.
So maybe others have same problem?
It is called shot lag, and everyone has it. We are having a lot of it, these days. It is normal on overpopulated servers. It is effecting everyone at the same time, no matter what class, or what weapon you use.
I doubt the method you described solves anything. Probably just a coincidence that it "helps", because these lags usually, (if we are lucky) lasts only for few seconds.
