Teammates Interrupting People On Nodes For A Title

Stop interrupting your teammates when they are claiming nodes in Seal Rock. I don't care how much you want that title. It is cheap, and pathetic.

This happened to me today, and Im just baffled at how dumb it was, and bad it felt when someone did this to me. I was excited that I was the first to claim it in time, and then someone ruined that.

I feel like Square Enix should patch a fix so that spells can't interrupt peoples actions unless they are opponents. Its such an oversight.

Explain further. Spells are interrupting you? What kind of spells?

I imagine Rescue might do it? Mind I've never had this happened so I don't know if it'd work.

Rescue was removed in pvp a long time ago. He can't get interrupted, the cast will just stop if somebody else in his team claims faster.

It was one of the ast spells. I cant remember which. It is still possible to interrupt.

Send a bug report instead of complaining in GD.

Has this happened more than once? It sounds like someone claimed the Tomelith before you, and an AST cast a spell on you at the same time, making you think the AST interupted you, when it was really just that someone else claimed it first.

Remember that latency is a thing in this game. Just because on your screen you arrived at the Tomelith first, that doesn't mean you actually got there first, according to the server.

Alternately, if you yourself have the title already (it's not clear from your post), then do let someone else claim the tomelith.

I only occasionally get into PVP when I need wolf marks for something, but it would definitely be nice to get those glamour items associated with occupying the tomeliths. It seems like it might be difficult to get that if I'm always one step behind the veterans who know what they're doing, and have possibly already racked up that X number of occupations - in which case, do please let another person be the one who officially occupies the tomelith and get credit, for the sake of a second or two.

No, it happened. They cast a spell on me, and claimed the node. I know because I was a foot in front of them.

It is possible to interrupt player actions. Astrologians are known to disrupt bards they do not like during performances.

How does exactly this work without being a bug? Ally spells shouldn't interrupt you.

Sounds like something that bears testing.

This is a list of all astrologian skills available in PvP right now - I'd be most curious to know which one of these you can actually cast on a party member that would interrupt any of their actions. Non of the healing spells has any additional effect on the target besides restoring HP.
So this is either a bug, in which case a bug report should be filled. OR its just some missunderstanding and a coincidence (maybe someone else WAS interacting with the temolith already and that interrupted the OP. Or OP was being attacked by someone and the astrologian only tried to heal them etc.).
From what I see here, astrologians shouldnt have the means to interrupt team-mates - and by "shouldnt" I mean: Unless I'm missing something, non of their spells does that.

You know, even if you see you are running ahead on your screen, it doesn't really mean you are actually ahead in some case. I tried this before when running a dungeon with my friends, and we were in discord. On my screen, I was running ahead of the party, but on my friend's screen, he's actually ahead of me. Latency is a thing in this game.

Well you can't use Performance inside of PvP so what happens out of that shouldn't matter anyway. AST definitely lost Rescue though a few patches ago so they have no means to interrupt in pvp so it's either a bug, latency or something you missed.
