Hiding Mode: Downloadrate increase up to ten times!!!

[Finalplayer_Ryu]

The hiding mode is a fine thing, when too many players are in a city, but when you hide players (especially in Elderine) the downloadrate increases up to ten times, i know this, cause my i-net connection is not fla antd so i have ever an eye on my bandwidth usage.

So my question, why is the download so high when you are change in Hide-Mode?

[Gavener]

im not that smart so, im thinking your saying when i hit Hide players it lags more?, if so there are times im a lot more laggy in hide mode there

[Finalplayer_Ryu]

It doesn´t more lag when switch to hiding mode, but the downloadrate is raising.

i think what your experiencing is an increase in sent/received packets. if you notice you cant attack monsters while in hide mode so this requires extra data to be sent and received by your client

[Finalplayer_Ryu]

You can attack monsters in Hide-Mode.

Example:
In Elderine:
Normal-Mode: 30-40 Kbit/s
Hide-Mode: 300-400Kbit/s

I can´t understand this, i mean, all other players disappear, when you change to Hide-Mode... normal it must reduce because you don´t need to receive all movements of the other players.

i couldnt attack slimes in raumen in hide mode @_@!

[Twayblade]

You can't attack some of them, because a player already killed it, it just hasn't died on your screen. You can usually get the ones that just spawned though.. that's what I did.

Maybe a comment from a GM to my Question?
