N.American Ifrit Lag Makes it Unplayable

[Irondude]

Tonight is the worst lag for everyone in my ifrit group. This fight is barely tolerable in north america as is. Whatever is going on with the servers tonight it ruined the night. Strange behavior eruptions in the middle of the circle mid fight DC's. We lost 5 fights in a row and we dont lose this fight anymore. How defeated do you want us to feel when we cant even see the eruptions that are killing us?!?! absolute bullshit please work on this fight.

I suppose the Japanese know what its like to play in north America tonight, if the lag is this bad for us, it must be north american speeds for them tonight lol.

Up for a rant, eh?

[Irondude]

yeah.... just frustrated lol

i feel like its the unspoken truth that we all live with (this game is laggy as hell) and we call it "skill" at learning ways to deal with that lag. Hard to sell someone on the idea that learning how to spam a skill untill it goes off and be outside of an ifrit eruption for a full 3 seconds because the lag will kill you is "skillfull"

the lag is stupid i live in ireland so i'm always kinda getting lag back on ffxi i never got 1 bit of lag at all from not even during the whitegate 24hr thing. but yet i can lag in this game from just 1 mob near me but not all the time sometimes it doesnt lag but most times it always lags on moogle and ifrit lol.

They have said that it isn't really "server lag." But they also said it would definitely be fixed in 2.0 with new client.

It lags so much for me I just quit going. Another part of the problem is the abundance of stupid animation locks.

Not lag..... Inexperience!

tbh, the fight was made to be played with that delay... Without the delay, Ifrit would be simply be a tank and spank. You would have basically double the time to run out of the fire.

Troll harder.

Then get rid of the lag and cut the time eruptions take to go off in half. Walking a good 30ft out of an eruption only to be killed by it 3 seconds later is stupid; however, someone does need to whiteknight for SE. Good job.
