Ifrit Battle Plume/Eruption bugs

There is a severe issue with Eruptions/Plumes hitting people who are no where near them. I thought maybe it was just lag, but its not. I have video proof that I was no where near either and still being hit by them.

This in combination with many other issues due to "server related problems" need to be addressed before I even consider paying for this game. This is not a nerd rage, but the game is horribly broken and blaming the servers can last only so long. If you need to see the video of this let me know I will render it and put it on youtube. I am sure that I am not the only person experiencing this issue. SE I implore you to fix the animation lock and server response lag issue BEFORE you start charging or I will not be staying around as there are way to many other options that do not have these issue.

PS I am a huge SE fan what I am not a huge fan of is paying for a broken game.

Im willing to bet it is server lag, its really bad right now. In the final stage of the fight u have about a half a second to run from eruption or it will hit you, even tho the animation is about 3-4 seconds long. Its frustrating but doable. It is a big issue tho, but they can't fix it without fixing the servers, which won't happen until 2.0. If you don't want to pay, that's fine, it's a smart decision really with all of the games that are much better coming out soon. But the fact is that this game needs to start making money or get dropped. I for one like this game and it's potential so I will pay. Might not be the smartest decision I've ever made, but if it means this game doesn't fail, then I won't regret it one bit.

Yep, it's an unfortunate reality of the game. It's a good thing gaming in the 90s taught me how to deal with lag! It's a blast from the past, baby.
