Lots of people have been posting bug reports about a common thing. Block Lag. People have reported various times of 'blocks replacing themselves', and 'lots of server lag with blocks'. Here's the thing guys. There are usually 1000+ players on the server, which will NOT run perfectly. Also, your distance away from the hosting location of the server will make a difference on how quickly blocks are going to break and place. If your WiFi is not decent, you will probably experience block lag. These reports are clogging up the bug reports, and it would be appreciated if you would stop over posting this. I hope you guys understand. Thank you!
New members that come on to the server are not going to find this thread and read it right away (Hence most of those reports are from new members). Thanks for your concern, but the bug reports will never end. People don't know what block lag is at times, and the first thing they do is think that it is a bug. Basically, there's nothing to do to help the problem.
I have 2 points to this 1. Not too sure if this is a drama thread or.. 2. Actually, block lag is the servers fault. How? Internet lag is slow frames as well as it is only that specific player. Block lag on the other hand is usually just lag to the whole server or it something that occurs a lot in that game.
@MrDavyJones This is not a drama thread. Just addressing an issue. Block lag CAN have to do with your connection to the server. You are correct in your reasoning that it is usually server-wide.
If you have having lag with your computer/client, players will normally freeze along with the chat. You very rarely get block lag when it is client-side. Block lag is normally due to a large amount of entities being loaded at once. People could abuse spawners to create hundreds or thousands of zombies to lag out the server and create block lag, but many players online at once could also make this happen.
Ahem, check your connection. Btw, if you live in japan.. Your internet is the fastest. Unlike Australia/Murica who doesn't have great internet.. Unless your family is considered 'rich' by the stoopid government. Not me. Anyways, I see this as a drama thread. Idk why, but it seems it's just slapping me in the face. Block lag is the servers fault, Players cannot do anything about it. But be a sheep and resets their wifi.
Actually, American's get the best PING to the server. I was told by a STAFF member of where in AMERICA the server was located. Essentially, the closer to the middle of America you are, the better ping you get. :P
