So lately I started school and I kept on playing MCSG, but I thought really that it was kind of making me mad, often I've been getting an awful amount of lag, to the point where I'm actually just running somewhere and I'd be dead.. it kind of broke with me just now, after I got abused in the DM. Firstly I scanned the area and ran away, the dude had iron armor and a diamond sword, something I couldn't contend with, I had chainmail and a stone sword, so I had a disadvantage, He chased me and fell down a hole, I didn't know this till I got into the centre, and wrote I was lagging, he apparently ''didn't give a bunnies'' and I was a ''noob'' and a ''coward'' for what reason, I didn't understand. I walked around looking for him, he told me to ''keep running noob'' and announced that he was stuck, I asked him where he was and yet again, I was called a noob. I saw where he was, made 12 arrows, and started shooting down at him, I got his health extremely low with my arrows from the top of the hole, but I was out, so I jumped down and commenced bashing him with my stone sword, the lag kicked in again, and he stopped moving, simply just staring at me, 4 seconds later, I was dead.

Didn't see how, he probably just killed me with his Diamond Sword. So it pretty much annoyed me.. and then I thought that all this does, all this lag and problems, all it does is annoy me, frustrates me, because of lag, I've gone down from 225 to 50 in a week, simply because of lagging, no other reason, you might think I lack the skill, and although I do lack skillfully, I can hold my own, I can survive well enough, yet this always happens, I always have these lag spikes that accumalate and kill me, only earlier was I killed, I had gotten golden armor at the corn, along with chainmail leggings, it was Breeze Island and I ran for the pirate ship, I was in the water, then all of a sudden I was dead, not in the water, but a corner with two guys standing above me with one of them with a feather in his hand and another with nothing. I just find it really bad how I'd get lag at the worst possible times, and it's concluded with me thinking that it's about time I stop trying to even play, the lag is obviously too bad, and I get harrassed for doing literally nothing. So I'm just going to stop playing, I know it's not going to effect anyone, or noone's gonna care, but I'm just sharing my thoughts for discussion.

look if he managed to kill you and you couldnt do anything then it was your connection as the other guy could still hit you. If you quit blame it on nothing but your connection as the servers are usually fine (apart from the odd wobble sprint)

Yeah, lag is extremely annoying:( Just the other day, I had full iron etc, on breeze island. I was on that house on top of the cliff, and I saw a name tag at spawn. So I jumped down off the diving board, and discovered he wasn't in any fit state to fight me. Just a stone axe. A ran upto him, and hit him a few times. Nothing. Then boom. 3 seconds later im dead. :(. It just happens and you have to deal with it. However, your case does seem a litte more extreme compared to the lag issues I get. I extremely suggest getting optifine. Seriously. I dont use any other mods. It is just plain amazing. 20fps to an amazing 90. I highly suggest getting it. Infact, I force you to get it:D It's great! If I didnt have it, I wouldnt ever play this game, the combination of lag/bad fps would be unbareable!

And for the abusive harrasing language on the server, just another thing youve got to get used to. Its a competitive atmosphere I guess!

I'm talking about connection lag, rather than computer lag, got a high end computer so I'm good for frames, but it's just my speeds that I annoy me I guess, it's just those very games people were complaining of a lot of lag, so I don't know if I was the only one.

Had similar problems... saved up money to buy a new router with dual band. The day I got the router I had a 7 game winning streak. Your probably overdue.

I've been having connection problems too, maybe I'll try doing this, seeing as I've already exhausted almost all my other options by now :<

Yes. It is bloody annoying when I obtain a stone sword from cornucopia, turn to see everybody frozen in mid-air and then dead. Using AU servers where I'd usually have 60 or so ping which is alright to fight with, then every now again (it seems to be when something important happens, like the game starts, chests refill, an easy-medium kill appears) it just freezes.

This is my view on this. No one is forcing you to "quit". Its not like quitting a job where once you quit, you cant really come back. Perhaps take a break, focus on school, and come back when you have time off.

Sorry to hear that man, it's good to focus on school. I have pretty damn good connection but, I know what you're talking about :(

If you feel that it's frustrating you too much and you're starting to "lash" out more, then I would recommend quitting. Good luck on school! And, I hope your connection improves.

The lag is a connection issue on your side which sucks to hear, i know. But the harassment, name calling and swearing are very much against the rules and if you took a screenshot you could file an abuse report. Games are meant to be fun. It definitely isn't when someone's yelling that you're a F*g and such.

Thanks for the replies.. yeah I'm going to just play whenever friends want to play instead of just playing non-stop (probably adds to the occasional rage-quits I get). Focus on school and might buy a new router, might help speed it up, it has been four years since I got a new router anyways so yeah I'm overdue.
