Why are inputs more unreliable in BGs?

I don’t notice this as frequently as I do in this game mode. Is there something different about the BGs instance of the game? Is this just personal frustration from the 1 on 1 mode? Just always seems like BGs performs differently

I *NOTICE* it more in both BGs and Incursions. With the obligatory “perhaps it’s just my perception” thrown in for good measure. But it sure seems like these occur more frequently in those two modes.

It’s super problematic when a well timed parry becomes a smash combo to the face against an opponent running ouchies, which is not infrequent.

Seriously… I haven’t been able to string together 2 fights, let alone matches n this game mode with out lagging frame rates and when characters drop a special now all hell breaks loose. What in the name of unholy maple syrup is happening with the BGs servers. This is a universal problem for all characters and matchups today.

I notice it ONLY in bgs and Incursions
Really messing me up at times and it did cost me deaths

It kills all interest and enjoyment of my favorite game mode when I tap my screen and my character responds with a faceblock or the whole screen bugs out and I’m faceblocking special attacks. 11 seasons in and this might be the worst it’s been yet for in fight performance

There's inherently far more calls between server and local in bgs. Most other modes you do a call at the start and at the conclusion of fights and your device handles the fight, but since they've been crowing about the ability to see almost real-time the data points of bg fights, it stands to reason they're transmitting much more frequently than start and end and, therefore, latency.

Just wait till they unveil bg fight recording and playback. Latency for all!

I just puked in my mouth. Let’s hope they consider stabilizing performance first. The in game performance is trash atm

Ugh you guys had to to tie a Cap event to BGs today. I played 6 fights in two matches and my character stopped moving in all 6. WTH guys. BGs inputs are disgustingly awful this season

Midnightfox

Agreed. Controls seem most unreliable in bg’s. I don’t know how many times I’ve lost due to the controls not responding accordingly.

Midnightfox

And this right here. Won 100% and disconnect to a loss. Fix the #### game

BigBlueOx

New season same problem. Is there anything different about the BGs instance? I get so many dropped inputs in this game mode, far far more than others

Exactly the same no issues. Pressures on and you will make more mistakes. Easy to not screw up when you are using an ascended r5 herc in cav eq.

I'm going to be that guy right now. You are definitely way more stressed when playing a BG match than any other piece of game content and are making more mistakes because of it and think it's the controls messing up. The AI has been acting weird though i wont deny any of that

DrZola

Time of day and length of session seem to impact it for me. If we accept the server call frequency as a driver of lag, input issues, latency or whatever, that kind of makes sense.

The AI dancing around sucks but I think the most annoying thing in the whole game is when they throw heavies randomly. Ik some characters are programmed to heavy more, but Chavez, Mysterio, Domino, and a couple others spamming heavies across the screen (faster than any human can react) is the worst

When Mysterio first came out everyone was so annoyed with that heavy spam lmaoo, it's so dumb and throws everything off

More pressure explains mistakes made on my end, but I've lost several rounds this season because my block didn't register or dex turned to parry. These kinds of issues have been going on for years, but thankfully not as frequently now as other months have been

Yeah, interesting and useless points, also inaccurate. I’m talking about hitting block a full second before a special attack and nothing happened, dashing back but watching your character sprint forward. Super happy for you, but I can play other game modes and not experience this. But in BGs it happens.

Supersha7

I’ve also had way more of these occurring

Block turn into swipe forwards
Block turn into dash back
Medium atk turn into light
Medium attack turn into dash back
Medium attack turn into stand still
Block turn into stand still
5 combo ending on 4th hit leaving you standing there , so mlllm become mlllstandstill

Game stutter mid combo resulting in the only safe option which is to hold block and hope. 50% of the time it works, other 50% you get countered.

Very frustrating

I wonder though - I think the auto play ai is susceptible to these errors. as when these errors occur, the fight looks exactly like how it would do if the auto fight ai was playing….
