Kiting on public servers.

[inzecta]

Title, and before I continue yes I have lag compensation off. The input delay throws me off so so bad, especially with pigmen. It feels like I'm too slow to follow up half the time because the timing on the pigmen's hit seems so tight so I over-dodge and then can't follow up. I'm playing on a server with 49 ping rn and its still unbearable and frustates me so badly. Any tips?

Pigs are rather difficult to kite. There isn't a secret tip on what to do, just practice and take note of the error so you can correct it. Get hit, you're dodging too short or countering too early. Pig evades your attack, you're dodging too far or countering too late. Keep making adjustments based on that until you get it down.

Pigs, tentacles, rooks, tallbirds and any other mobs with tight patterns benefit from playing on your own world with no ping basically.

I am fairly sure above a certain ping you cross the threshold where you can dodge and hit back pigs (but I'm unsure if that is as low as 50 ping).

 

What I usually do with pigs: I stand still. When I hear animation, I step back once, and then immediately go towards him (he is still mid audio and animation, but the hit has already been "registered" so to speak). That gives me enough time to close the gap.

Try practicing on a server with c_give("perogies",40) command

Yeah I figured, I wasn't sure if there was some other setting I could tweak or something. I just can't *fully* get used to the input delay, like it's not as jarring as it was initially but it still feels...bad to play.

Just practice. I play in public server often and I'm used to the delay. Sometimes I get hit,  but that's common when you're not playing your own world.

Yeah I know but I just haven't been able to adapt to how SLOW you feel, sometimes my attacks just don't register and I end up either overcompensating by running too far back or don't move back far or quick enough and get hit. I only have 50-60+ ping and it still feels unrespnsive as hell, I'm tempted to just turn lag comp back on because I'd rather take the occasional lag hit than it feel so slow.

It would be very nice if I could play with 49 ping, the best klei server I got is 98 ping
