To be honest, it has been very stressful playing the game with high ping. While skilling and gathering supplies are fairly doable even if you are in Mars, two categories remain a pain, PvP and Endgame Bossing (which include Raids). I felt like I am missing a whole lot and thus need advice from players with similar ping (ie: People living in Australia and Asia)

 

1) How do you guys reliably do mechanics in raids and the likes? Currently I am still stuck with finding an idea to solo Corporal Beast reliably without panic teleporting every minute due to the lack of supplies, as well as messing up every single vengeance timing. I figured that Raids will be much harder 

 

2) How do you guys PK with high delay? With completionist monkey as an endgoal, I eventually will have to go PKing people and actually not die from it. However, I have no idea where to start about pking, let alone trying to get my first kill. 

 

Anyone willing to help this noob out? :D

I play in Africa with about 10mb/s download speed (if that), and I have been able to PK & raids as well. My ping to the server also gives me a delay, all I can say is practice with the delay and you will get used to it naturally (as long as it isn't too bad).

 

Find out what your ping to the server is first.

My ping currently is 240ms when the server is good, and 300-350ms average (most of the time it will be at this ping). Of course I excluded spikes as it won't make sense to count for them, although spikes do make it much harder to play the game too.

my ping (if the server is NA) around 200-250 and i go pk raid solo corp easily like what moe said just get used to the delay, ofc you wont be as perfect as ppl with low ass pings tho.. and also solo raid (with t bow) but there are things hard to dodge with this shit ping like the rocks falling from Cox at the end of the last phase..

Consider anti-PKing while doing activities in the Wilderness. Don't think of getting kills as your main goal. Kills will pile up over time. When someone attacks you, try getting them to low-ish HP and claw them out.
You won't have good chances with your ping in edgepvp unless you're really good.

I usually just do regular slayer or AFK skilling whenever I have high ping. I’d rather not go PKing/bossing with lag lol, but it’s rare cases when I experience lag. But yeah, like what my fellow peers have said, try to get used to the delays and eventually you’ll be comfortable with doing more activities with higher ping.
