In that case you're suggesting a teleport check function for Titan, one for Garuda, one for Ifrit, and so on. That's even more prone to error as you're maintaining hundreds of functions that has to be updated each time a player gains a new movement aid ability. I'm sure all MMORPG do look for any unusual changes in position, but you cannot judge solely on that. There has to be a guy who actually looks at your log to determine if you're really teleporting or if it was just a false positive, and that stuff takes time and certainly cannot be done in real time.

I've done at least 30 WP runs and I don't think I've ever successfully dodged Keeper of Halidom's moldy phlegm attack.

And people continue to fall on Titan because of their delay and casting time thing.

I just did a titan round few days ago, was in the middle of landslide, got out the moment i saw the dam line aoe on the floor, fell off after i was at the other side

if I keep moving and cast cure as a test, it is never at 0.3 RIGHT on the dot, so if i'm casting, landslide, middle. doomed.

Good post

I suspect there's also something sound related adding to this problem, not just high latency.

Bumping as this is the reason I will cancel my subscription. I would like to also say that PvP will be obnoxious unless this is fixed. Please do not release PvP until this is fixed.

Edit: I wish players would stop asking for more content, after rushing to end game. Quality over quantity.

why hasn't a community rep / dev responded to this thread yet?...

not a single mention of this in the live letter either.....SE is choosing to ignore the biggest flaw in their game. If I wanted to play in 2002 I would choose a different MMO. This is embarrassing.

Just an FYI, there is a thread regarding this same issue with over 140 pages and it is still being ignored. Not to discourage, though. I've been active on both threads.

I stopped trying to dodge that all together. From what I have noticed it seems to have a different range displayed than what its actual range is. However if you look closely sometimes the aoe circle is a different size.
