titan hard (hard for high latency)

[Sneakaboo]

It's just SE their servers and coding,not your latency.
Yes if you have 20 ms it's a bit better than 200 and it will allow you to dodge the stuff a but better.
How ever it doesn't remove the fact that you play with a delay of 0.5 to 0.7 second by default.
Bit if lag and you're screwed.

While latency occurs in every MMO it tends to be masked better than this.
Take WOW I can play it with 100 ms to 150 ms and don't encounter the massive delays I have in this game.

SE did accepted this as a bug so we'll see if they fix their servers.
Other wise you just have to eat it or learn how to work around it.

I'm honestly shocked people are still defending this, even after SE acknowledged it some two months ago.

And yes, having problems here too; I've been steps away and still getting hit. Titan HM is where the issues with the coding all come and rear their ugly faces.

Pretty much this.

Now, I am not exactly in the OP's camp, I dodge scary AoE's just fine.. but I am hoping SE does something about the ugly delay in this game. Nearly everything you do has some kind of visual or easily apparent delay attached to it. It sucks.

I play about 4 feet from my girlfriend. I can watch her screen and mine at the same time. Whenever she executes an action I can easily see the massive delay on my screen. I don't see her action instantly, I see it half a second later. We're in California with a decent high-speed cable connection. Other games have this "delay" as well but it seems much more apparent in FFXIV ARR. Doesn't feel right, doesn't look right. I do admit it is an improvement over 1.0 though.

Here's hoping something can be done.

I agree with you on the first part, but half a second is extremely fast. Figure: Your character is updated every ~300 ms. Then factor in the ping (I assume yours is either 90 or 120, so we'll call it 100 to make it nice) going to the server as well as back. You're looking at a 500 ms delay in actions. There's no real way around that, tbh. It's going to at least be delayed by [your ping] x 2 + [server processing], which tends to be about half a second. Playing right next to each other doesn't matter; it still has to go to the datacenter and back for both of you.

The problems with DF lag seem to be because of DF server congestion. I believe this is why SE is focusing so much on it. Your ping to the DF server doesn't matter if the DF server takes 400 ms to process your action due to severe congestion.
