Thank you SE for making the SAME mistake you did 10 years ago

You know, for all we know, they might be limiting a certain player's level from entering a specific "zone" or even the behemoth/odin FATE area/instance.

If that's the case, GOOD! Personally, the odin/behemoth gear you can obtain from the item drops are worthless - but what is even more worthless is the level 45's and below that swarm these FATES and actually think they're making a contribution.

If you're going to complain about "lag" during these sort of FATE instances, blame the ill-informed lower levels that think they have a chance in these fights...

I play on SSD PS3 on a Japanese server and I experience NO LAG.

Well I am not a programmer so I cant really say.. but i think that instead of reducing or capping zones, things like the following could possibly be made

1. Make certain FATES instnaced or add an independent area for them
2. Work on the servers to increase capacity.
Make things better INSTEAD of limiting things..

Low-budget PCs never limit games (sarcasm)

Not the case too, I build a new rig ~2 months ago for FFXIV which costed me ~4'000$. So I'm sure the lag problem is only on server side and if aoes keep hitting me when I'm mile away from them I don't see how this game will live long enough. (We still manage to get to Turn 5 each week through pain and suffering (especially when our healers start to freeze for 5-10 secs mid-battle), this issue is really gamebreaking and I don't see SE doing anything about it).

You've yet to discuss the steps you'd take or have taken to alleviate the issues you think are the root cause.

It's pretty clear what he thinks is the root cause, but the fact is that Odin and Behemoth are non-instanced world bosses that a lot of people want to kill. I've been in one, I know the pain of not being able to see the boss, or for that matter, being able to target any of my party members. The problem, though, is the people, not the hardware. If it were the hardware, then what about PCs with performance below the PS3? Wouldn't those be more limiting?

[Darlingchan]

I hope they add a "limit visible players" option so that we can actually see Behemoth and Odin within fates instead of a ton of random players.

[Trasias]

I've had zero issues with lag or being unable to target the boss in Odin and Behemoth fights... Just saying.

My PC is top notch (I5 3570K, GTX 780 Classified, 8GB DDR3, SSD) and I still cant see Odin or Behemoth at times its not a PS3 issue its an issue with the code which they need to fix. I also have 50MB Internet, and until the last maint had 0 lag in CM and such, day after maint. I had horrible lag as did everyone in my party

this is... just wow...

me myself just have a pc that not so good (I5 *forgot the code lol*, GTX 650 Ti Boost, 8GB DDR3, Standard HDD) but i CAN see cleary Odin and everyone there with no problem, my internet is just only 1MB lol

i use maximum setting lol

this is... just wow...

Quit lying, the PS3 is the source of all our problems. Your PC can't handle the game? Blame the PS3! Your cat decided to poop behind the couch? They were lagging trying to get to the literbox because the PS3 couldn't handle their fast movement.

It's funny people blame PS2/PS3 when it comes to XI/XIV yet XI had 5 expansions+6 mini addons+ continued support for 11 years and XIV ARR is less detailed in certain aspects that even XI has and the PS3 is far superior to the PS2, so you can blame "development direction" more than you can blame the PS3.

That cat pooped behind the couch because it quivers in fear any time I growl at it.
