Either make dodging AoEs possible, or make them not instant-kills

There is an issue with server latency

[Samaton]

How did you lot even get past Stone vigil? This bad delay has made it very difficult to do any dungeon with my friends, they have the reactions speed of a drunk 90 year old and on nearly every boss i find myself the last one alive nearly every time. I'm the tank and i am pretty good at dodging stuff, i have noticed if you move out of an area before the cast finishes and save an ability to use after you have moved out of the area it helps alot. The worst thing though, i find is noone in this game ever uses their stuns to interrupt casts, I am playing a warrior and i wish i played a paladin so i can stun everything.

I made a thread again demanding an answer to all these issues with all the threads of the same type compiled in it:

If it gets deleted for not having a format or whatever I'll remake it in the general forum.

I've got it too and it's extremely frustrating.

I'm west coast playing on a west coast server. With amazing internet as well

It would be nice if there WAS a west coast server.

Blame Canada.

well qq about things you dont know anthing about it.
they game is developed by the slow serverping. They cant "fixx" it asap. And with more serverpings they have to improve/exchange ALL servers.
dont get me wrong, i hate the current situaton too, but SE is aware about the problem but it needs lot of time to change it (...well...if they wanna to change it... im not sure about that)


just a tip: if you know the big aoe of e.g. titan is incoming (blabla of the land). start a spell. in this case you recieve a new serverping and see the aoe earlier.

Blame Canada.

Don't blame Canada. Blame our telecom companies.

“The problem in Canada is… they have almost third-world access to the internet.” - Ted Sarandos, Netflix Chief Content Officer

But in all seriousness, there are actually third-world countries that have better internet than us. We're not almost, we're worse.

I couldn't agree more. This has been a very frustrating issue for me. I clear out of the AoE area the split second it appears, but I still take almost every hit. Being a white mage, I'm pretty squishy, so if I get a couple of those in a row, I'm dead.

Most groups I've been in have been pretty understanding, as many of them report the exact same issue. Even the tanks see it; they just don't die as easily. But then I end up in a group with the person that has to start screaming and cussing because apparently I'm "too stupid" to leave the AoE. Attempting to explain the situation to such people is typically futile.

I only got past Titan through sheer number of tries and dumb luck, and now I'm stuck on the last fight of Stone Vigil for the same reason. I appreciate the above suggestion of casting to refresh my location, which I'll give a try later tonight. But a real solution to the problem would be appreciated.
