Broken Update

[BlazeFort]

We all know that 1.4 is less stable than 1.3. But the recent update to the servers has made it much more laggy. I am swinging at people and it doesn't hit. Why? Because they are aiming at the spot I was 2 seconds ago! This is really annoying because people can hit me and I have a hard time hitting back especially when I move around while fighting. Which is my strategy and is practically unbeatable unless there is a huge difference in armor/ weapon level. So since the update I've been losing EASY battles and its so annoying. I'm starting to figure out how to counter the lag, but its near impossible to fully play it in your favor when the person isn't even swinging at me. So can you please go to the previous version of bukkit? Somehow I liked that one better than this one. Btw I know someone is gonna say "its probably your internet" where I'd normally say yes. The thing is my internet is always buggy and only disconnects me every once in a while. Not reduce my connection. And I didn't have this problem until the update came out and the other lag I learned to work with. So all I ask is find a different solution than this asap even if you have to backtrack a little bit.

Actually you hitting them but it not recognizing is actually NCP (NoCheatPlus) which should be updated soon. Current build for it isn't that great.

Ya but when I do hit them its as if the lag has to catch up to where I am like I have to hit them from where I am and not from where I am not. I don't feel like trying to do it, because I'll get owned, but if I stood still I think my hits would register.

Blaze is right. This is not NCP, this is lag. I too have noticed in battles that it will sometimes take several attacks to register the hit, for both me and my opponent. Sometimes it's in my favor, sometimes it's not, and it's really annoying.
It's not NCP, because all I need to do is keep attacking and eventually it will start to work. (after about 4-5 hits.) Other people like my friends are reporting that to me too, and they don't lag, just like me.

(NCP has still causes a few deaths of mine, though. It seems mine are fewer are far between. Some other people are still getting it all the time...I guess I don't do whatever most people do that causes it.)

Watching someone standing directly in front of you and swinging to their right while still hurting you is lag, not NCP.
