Delay or can avoid AOE on time.

After, last Thursday Maintenance .
I am experiencing delay in evading AOE attack, when my char already move out the circle, i still get the damage. Not only me, almost everyone get the same problem,

It's so frustrating, especially on titan hard. I hope this problem can be fixed.

It's been a problem for me since launch and is the only reason im going archer as my main at the moment. There's only so many times I can take the shame of being killed by self destruct in easy dungeons

At launch it was better than now, after last maintenance. It is getting worse for Jap datacenter. Not sure for NA server

I experence the same thing..
I though that my internet connection that plays trick on me..
but it seems that I'm wrond

I had no issues until the maintenance week ago ever since they killed the game.When looking other players they slow then speed up or skip around its so ugly.Red zones is almost impossible to avoid.You get hit even far away they also make so game takes more resources and is not running as smooth as before.
I will take back any day the 1017 error over this fail.

It's been happening to me ever since the maintenance. I don't know what they did to alter that, but it's awful.

Same thing here.

Something a lot of players don't account for is the attack animation and the cast bar do not always align in this game. Take the big frogs who do the belly flop attack, when their cast bar ends, damage is decided. The missile damage isn't calculated until after the animation is complete. AKA bellyflop is a 2.5 second cast and a 5 second animation. It may appear you exited the circle, but, the cast was completed almost 3 second ago and your last second side step was much to late.

I haven't experienced this issue myself. Perhaps it's a server bound problem.

Actually I was about making same thread for this matters. I am pretty sure that I already move out the circle or AoE thingy before the casting time of the monster done.

Idk what's going on :) but I expect something nice happen :D

I hope they saw this post and considering to fix it :)

I've had the same thing since beta, it has improved but there is still an issue that needs to be looked at.

Also the fact for me the "fake" EU servers are in the US is a pretty big issue especially on fights like Titan.

hmmm... not so much response. Does that means most of ppl didn't have this problem? :?

Hello,

I made a post about this a few days (weeks?) ago, it was classified as an ACCEPTED BUG. I find it serious enough to get a dedicated reply from a SE representative, yet no information was given so far.

Here's the thread:

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...s-everybody%29

I saw that post but it has been quite a while and nothing.
Though they also said in the beta 'they would address it' and they didn't.
Since the last maintenance it's unplayable with the lag spikes but I think that is a complete different beast again.

I guess putting the whole world on the NA data centre wasn't the brighest idea that and perhaps not hiring a proper tech team to mask latency would have been a better option.

same here, I've been noticing something's just wrong, until I saw this thread, then I knew I'm not the only one who felt it. Usually I always able to avoid (almost) all of the AOE, but after last MT, well.. as the others said, we sometimes got hit by the AOE, while most of us already ran, but unfortunately we still got hit by those AOEs.

hope the Dev. Team fixed it ASAP.

I made a thread again demanding an answer to all these issues with all the threads of the same type compiled in it:

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ific-answer%29

If it gets deleted for not having a format or whatever I'll remake it in the general forum.

I tried this and it works!!!

"There is a simple way to make sure this doesn't happen. You need to cast a spell once you've left the AOE's area and the sever will register your new position. The moment you leave the area start casting and you will never be hit."
