Lag/High pink issue?

I assume its ping because ever since we got black cipher I've had this kinda hitstop-lag-thing when I attack monsters. Usually inst a problem and sometimes it just disappears completely. It usually gets fixed after a while but it seems that my friends in game and irl with better computers and connections have it worse off than me?

I'd say it's my connection but I have the same issue when I'm at any of their houses or anywhere else. Some have said they solved it by setting blackcipher to low priority but I hear that is also a possible way to get banned.

Oh and not to mention pet loot can straight up dc you since the game seems to be unable to keep up with its own data relay which I also assume is due to BC scanning everything.

I even DLed League and TF2 for comparison and get a good 40fps on each. Gets better as the connection does and for some reason goes to 50~60 when its raining.

And on top of all that for anyone of you who've fought Magnus or seen a video you know the area hazards get worse as he gets closer to dying. Yet mor eoften than not that latter half of the fight is lag free for me. Sometimes the whole thing. Some others in my ally have noted that the bosses themselves seem to lag so it might be somethign server side as I've experienced spiking in Czak, but pretty much nowhere else.

Thoughts?

I swear I hate autocorrect.

I live in the south central US. Some days I have no issues at all ya know. I'm getting a new laptop later in the year but still this is pretty bad to say this is one of their highest incomes..

Servers just suck.
Maybe you'd also want to invest in a better processor, since internet speeds over 8mbps are fine to run MS decently with minimal lag.
Oh, and location also plays a key role when it comes to the amount of lag you receive.
