MUDRA FIX THANK YOU!!

On behalf of all Ninjas that were suffering from Mudra lag and now received the much needed fix,

I would like to tell the dev team: THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!! SERIOUSLY

I hope any of the forum moderators will pass on this thanks to the dev team.

As much as I'm thankful for them fixing it, they did implement it poorly in the first place and let it sit where it was at for a year, so I categorize this as more of a case of fixing a mistake than a gift.

Is it too cynical of me to think someone will find out how to abuse this blessing and we will be in a 'this is why we can't have nice things' situation? >:V

Guess its the reason why they also implemented the "oGCDs can go for lower than 0.5 seconds" new rule.

As nice as it is and one of the most welcomed things in a long time, it is still a result of the team not testing the job properly and was extremely amateurish. I hope they take that lesson into account when making the next job.

But congrats NIN's, most of you can be more efficient now.

Yeah, the fixes are nothing short of incredible. Thank you for finally giving people outside of Japan the same advantages, SE.

I honestly didn't think the mudra could become like this in FFXIV's environment without going client side. Crazy.

I think that is what happened though. I think the initial mudra and the execution of the ninjitsu are done through the server, but any 2nd or 3rd mudras are done client side.

they changed how mudras act with themselves and with global skills. before the change, you could use a mudra and interrupt a gcd, and gcds couldnt interrupt the full animation of a mudra. now mudras cant interrupt gcds, but they can interrupt eachother. the lag is still there(for the most part) but moving it off of mudras was a great thing to do.

Mudras are much smoother now so i am happy

Not exactly, since they weren't implemented in this way initially for a reason, that being said they obviously now know the community would rather have everyone on even ground with mudras then cases of fringe abuse.

Why is that? Do we know for sure SE really made the Mudra's client side and I just missed it?

It works for me because I would always cast them too fast that I get Rabbit or incorrect Mudra fires. Now, I like how you can almost cancel a Mudra straight into the next. My fast-paced playstyle works wonders now. Glad that I didn't get rid of NIN when I was about to; I was falling behind greatly due to messing up Mudras.

My lalafell is very happy! Thanks for the fix. :)
