Unfortunately, I am connecting from Japan - so, even under the best of circumstances I have 100ms more ping than anyone else. I find myself unable to stop a fast-moving disc, or react in any meaningful way during really fast action.
If I can see the disc coming, and put my hand in front of the path with the catch button held - I can grab it. But the really magic moments? Where it seems as if my robot hand is closing *right* on a zipping disc? Nothing happens.
Anyone else have this problem? Is this just something inherent to multiplayer games that don't have hitscan weapons where the servers can do their nifty time-travel/sorting tricks?
Sounds like server issues. Your closest server is probably not that close. Are you using Wi-Fi or ethernet cable? You could try asking the support team of Echo Arena.
7 hours ago, from the time i wrote this post, the echo arena team posted on Twitter quote: "We're currently investigating the service connection errors being reported. Thanks for letting us know!". Maybe this is the problem?
