So as am running the content, be it level 30 of 50+ i am starting to note that at this rate I might as well hang up my bow and shield and go hit rocks with a spoon. Why? Because the inability for the servers to refresh data quickly enough, i die on crap that can be dodged by standing still.
On my screen: I am out of area of effect for a full second, and i have used a skill on the out side. Yet i am dead or i get hit far to often.
My ping is 20, i do not run any applications in the back ground.... yet what i see seems to be +/- a quarter second behind.
The servers are nor refreshing, at a rate with the twitch/spasm speed SE thinks they can do.
From Titan to Coil the speed increases from fast to sprint, yet with the best internet i can pay for in my city, i can not keep up. What is it I can do to keep up.... my problem in most cases is not skill or armor. It's i die, out of area and it's causing me too much grief.
I simply cant twitch fast enough?

0.3 seconds to update might be slow, but it's not "stand in ALL the things!" slow.
It's something that effects everyone, but only the minority "suffer" from it. Which easily points to the fact that it's not cause of the issue.
My shining white armor and I will be over here dodging boss mechanics properly if you need me. -

I haven't had any issues since the first week of launch, and I'm from the EU so my ping is way the fuck higher
sounds like you need to git gud -

I have this issue as well. See the red, move well out of the way, still get hit. I'm not a crappy player, my pings are good. I think sometimes the dungeon server is just lagging.

I've never had any issue at all, living in the UK and playing on PS3. In Titan I have never had any lag when it comes to landslides or bomb boulders. Admittedly at prime time I do have some issues some of the time but I'm with an ISP that most would agree with is the worst in the country. The 3 millisecond delay is tiny really and blaming that is silly. Yes it's more than a lot of games but it's really not that bad.
I feel bad for you guys having to deal with this lag, and I do get lag at prime time in AK but that's to be expected in any game as there are a lot of people playing, more so than most MMO's. However I think that part of the problem lies with your ISP and not the game. Of course the game is partly responsible because that 3 millisecond delay on top of ISP issues can make a bad ISP worse. People are very quick to blame the game for such a wide issue like the internet. -

You need to understand, it has nothing to do with when the red appears and disappears, the cast bar is the only thing that matters. Many things require you to be out of the red well before the animation for the attack starts.
On the other hand, you can get a jump on your attacks if you know when the cast bar ends. For Garuda blasts and the room aoe on the last boss of AK, for example, I am out of hiding and back to work before the animation starts, it looks like I eat it. I probably give teammates in pugs a heart attack every time I do this. -
10-10-2013, 04:30 PMRochetmThe problem is exactly this. There is cast time, ground warning, and cast animation but only the cast time is important. The issue is from the first two lining up poorly from time to time. Titans weight of the earth loves to hit me... rather odd since I am a person who has been dealing with those exact type of mechanics in WoW for the last few years and never had a problem.Quote:

I play with 300+ ping (on NA server), so I can understand how it feels when you get hit by something you thought you had dodged.
Although I've adapted to my situation, which is to memorize the patterns well and moving out before it happens on the screen. Despite that, I still spend 75% of the fight worrying whether I got hit or not lol, so I get nervous from time to time.
After some adjustments and a lot of DF practices, I could do Titan with little to no problem. Moved away from/to bombs before it exploded, escaping from Weight of the Land before it actually appears on the screen, the key for me is to be wary and cautious all the time, play as If It'll target you all the time. Although there were one of the few occasions where I'd still get hit from Landslide even though I was 2-3 seconds out from it lol, I'd just get annoyed If It happens. (Yes, I know about the Casting Bar thing)
It feels very different comparing the youtube Videos of Titan and how I play lol, but I can't do anything about it. I haven't completed Binding Coils yet, so I don't know how It'll play out (aside from Turn 1 ADS), and I'm kinda worried If It'll be worse xD
All I wanted to say is that Titan is still doable even with high pings, I can't say anything about Coil though. The only thing preventing me from moving to a JP Server (which would give me roughly 120 ping) is that I'll have to leave my FC that I have been with for 2 years.
