The game has a floating host system.

Regardless of how the server is run, The person first to enter an area is hosting that area.
So make sure whoever arrives first anywhere near the alter stone has the best wired internet connection and computer.

Also even if they have the best internet and computer if they have a wife and kids streaming stuff ... well it can be pretty spotty

Now for bosses it may auto switch host to whoever put in the stuff? IDK but I would make sure the first person there with the best equipment etc also starts the fight once everyone arrives.


As long as they don't have a high ping to the server that should at least reduce lag as much as possible.
