Sorry SE, but endgame won't work if you don't fix something.

I want to add my support. If anything ends up killing FF14, it will definitely be the issues addressed in this thread.

Just found this post earlier today, it made me happy to know I am not alone in experiencing this. I thought for a long time that maybe it was something on my side; a hardware issue etc.

What does concern me though, is that I haven't seen any mention from Dev.'s etc as to any type of plan to fix things. What horrible customer service for a pay to play game, if this is how things are left. To ignore the player base is inexcusable.

I wish all the best in getting something positive achieved to remedy things.

This thread needs a crown!

People usually blame lag because they die, majority of the time, they did die due to lag, they aren't making it up. I've been hit by so many abilities from Titan where I knew I was out of the range of the AOE. Now every time I run away from an AOE I think "Well I might dodge this one...." Even though I know I can, and do, dodge everything titan throws at you.

Let me just say.... I tottally agree...
Two 4 man level 50 dungeons is kind of.... depressing.

I have full Darklight.... and all the STR acessories too to boot....
I'm really tired of running these same two dungeons...
Sure there is CM.... hard modes....
Its not enough in my opinion....

Thank god for sub classes though and achievments I guess.

Cancelled as well until this is dealt with

Ya me too - if I starting moving the instant that my brain processes seeing it, I'm probably already hit by it. Bump for some kind of reply please.

This is staying on the first page.

What happens in this game is that the castbar may claim you have about 2s to get out of an AE but you really only have 1.5s due to the inherent lag. If a game like WoW is trying to duplicate the same difficulty, they'd obviously just have the spell cast in 1.5 seconds (since they don't lag like FF14). Now, the guys who can't dodge them in FF14 still won't dodge an equivalent AE in any other normal MMORPG, but at least it'd be obvious on your screen that you were indeed inside the circle before castbar was over. Sure people will complain about the AEs cast too fast or whatever, but no one will be saying 'but I dodged that!' And this is what SE doesn't get. There are plenty of unreasonably hard mechanism in any other game, but no one ever goes back and say, "but I dodged that!' when complaining about the said games. In WoW or anything else, you know when you didn't dodge something. In FF14, you do not, and that gets people angry with the uncertainty.

Heh - Me too. Not all the time, but it completes the cast on occation.

I haven't logged on in awhile either. Playing the game atm doesn't feel like 'fun'.
-Even with the jump/casting trick I still get hit by aoes with latency. & It makes it hard to tell if someone *is* or is not playing bad. Because you cannot see their screen.. haha on your screen they are sitting in the aoe all derp da derp.
-Other than Gathering jobs ... there's no reason to go out into the beautiful world they've constructed. Yes, there is FATEs!.. But once you are lv50 you only do FATEs for seals or materia farming. (or Odin/Behemoth but lol)
-Getting Mythology AF... not too hard right? A little bit of grinding. BUT what about getting mythology AF for another job?
I don't particulary hate the game. I want to like it! I really do but I find myself drifting.
