Flower menu should be client side

Postby Zyean » Sat Sep 10, 2022 6:46 pm

It's a bit ridiculous that so many actions in game basically double your ping, since the flower menu's are server sided, you need to, for example right click a tree, wait, select your option, wait again, effectively doubling whatever your ping is, this is fine for people close to Germany, but considering this is a game with one server why exacerbate the ping issue. I know the Koreans are playing with 200-300ping for example, effectively making any flower menu interaction 400-600 ping instead. This isn't the only example but it's the most commonplace occurrence anyone who even touches the game will run into

If the Koreans had any less ping we wouldn't be able to keep them in check

Doesn't seem worth the development time. Would require a massive rewrite just for literal milliseconds of improvement. Would disproportionally benefit bots that open a lot more flower menus. Some mechanics require flower menu to be locked behind server side to prevent abuse. Snail has previously suggested this so I can only assume terrible consequences from this. Would provide too big of an advantage to experienced players. Would also
