This is why you're dying on Titan.

I have downed titan, but by god was it a grind, I had to memorize his entire move set and rotation to know how to dodge and even then sometimes spikes would fuck me over, sqaure need to fix this delay issue, if you are out of a plume on your screen you should be out, fuck cast time, if thats an issue fix the fact plumes detonate on a delay, only hit me when I look like I should be hit

Sure just send a capture card to my address and i'll be glad to upload, stream it, and play netflix at the same time while running around and not having my spells come out. Considering I can watch Netflix on my PC, and run Dungeons with no lag.

Only time I start lagging? When 2 people are on netflix* and some extra computers hop on the connection. Then I start to get a bit of lag. Seems like everyone just has slow connections. I've seen stuff like this in peer2peer connection style games.

Not sure what you need a capture card for, or what netflix has anything to do with anything.

No one is saying you are lagging from your connection. The game has a built in 300ms movement update delay. This is why you can start moving before a spell is finished casting...and still get the cast off.

Because I play on PS3 =].

And Streaming usually causes your connection to suffer so... It has a lot to do with it o.o. I mean it takes a whole lot for me to see any lag in game. I remember the AoE issues in beta. But after they said it was fixed well. It was fixed for me and I never had a problem since with it. I have no idea what problems you guys are experiencing. I've seen people lag in game but I can visually see you guys get hit, move a second after and then die.

This is very similar activity i've seen in peer to peer games. A faster connection to the server can usually see the slower ones. I have no idea why it's like this in FF 14. But I know I've never dealt with lag from the server itself.

You can call me a liar or what have you. I experience no lag at all from the server. It seems a lot of the people lagging tend to live in EU, makes sense to me. I live on the East coast of America so I'm not far from the data center at all.


Edit: Out of posts for today! But yeah I did the test and it just wont cast lol. My games behavior is far closer to what the post below this one has said. If I'm moving my spell just says interrupted over and over. it doesn't even start counting and when I start moving my spells just stop going. Trust me I was FATE'ing on Thm and my spells do not cast at all if I move period. Even at the 0.03 second mark they just don't cast. I literally have to stand there or my spell wont go off. Sounds like you guys have it a bit better than me when it comes to casting spells.

I don't think people really understands how the lag works. Here's a super easy test to determine how lagged or not that doesn't depend on skill at all.

1. Autorun on
2. Hit your mount chocobo hotkey (1.0s)
3. Take note of when the spell is actually interrupted and note the remaining time.
4. Repeat this a few times.

I usually have 0.3 to 0.1 remaining, so it takes 0.7 to 0.9 before the spell is interrupted. This gives you a rough idea of what kind of lag you have, since you cannot actually cast a spell running but it took that long for the 'interrupted' message to show up. If you have 'no lag whatsoever', you shouldn't even be able to start casting your spell, and it should definitely be interrupted way before it passes 0.9s remaining, as that is the standard behavior from every MMORPG other than FF14.

I'm not saying you are lagging, or having issues... but go jump on your PS3 and try this:

start casting a spell and when you get to 0.3s or so left to cast...start moving. If there is no delay anywhere you should break the cast right?

Do that a few times, and let us know how many times you are able to complete the cast.

... Damnit. Outsmarted by Squeenix INNOVATION yet again!

If that happens to you (it will), then you'll know what's up.

I think he's just playing.
S-E said they check the position every 0.3 sec.
Even if he has 0 ms latency, the chance of the position check to be done in 0.01 sec is 3.33333%.
And everyone knows he doesn't have 0 ms latency.

Edit: After seeing his other posts, I think he's serious.

Right, I'm just trying to get him to test it and see for himself that his 0.01 sec cancel time is actually impossible.
