Sorry SE, but endgame won't work if you don't fix something.

Still no developer response? Of any kind? Not even a "We realize this is an issue and are working on a resolution"? It's not like anyone expects this to be fixed overnight, but it would be nice for SE to at least acknowledge the issue.

There's likely no resolution to this issue because it's clearly by design, given the fact that no other MMORPG plays similar to this. Either they're aware of this and think it's perfectly fine because it's by design, or that they're afraid of telling people the lag is by design. There's really no way to fix it short of giving another 0.5s or so on any ability that is too tight. If an ability is expected to be cleared with only say 0.3s to spare (like Weight if you didn't have a running start), you shouldn't have another 0.3s of lag because then there's no reliable way to clear it by skill alone.

Does anyone remember these? They were from some beta test thread or something... this issue has been around.

Moving into an AE is actually a pretty reliable way to avoid the AE because you can always count on the lag preventing you from succeeding. On Demon Wall I'm always moving in a way where I'm attempting to catch up to the last ground AE, but due to the inherent lag of this game, I know I will always be too late to get hit by the AE and thus ends up avoiding all the AEs! Too bad you can't always do that on every AE in the game.

So you're compensating for a lack of responsiveness inherent in the game's client->server structure.

That's a problem that needs to be fixed at best; and at worst horrible design.

Has anyone gone on their Phone support or Live Chat support and asked directly (but politely) about this issue and when (or if) SE plans to address it?

[Cienna]

Thats how SE works...

Seems there is no Problem anymore couse no one else posts on an older thread so we (SE) desides to close it.

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ntermitent-lag

Nope, we have responded to threads in the bugs & tech forums, example- http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...s-everybody%29 It was moved to accepted bugs, and we could no longer post on it. It got to 7 pages before being moved. They supposedly banned a few people for 10 days from the forums for making new threads in the bugs/tech forums about the lag, so now we just stick here.

Q: In Regards to Network Lag in Europe

A: I believe information has already been shared by the European Community Team, but we would like the players experiencing these issues to post further details that indicate the network card they are using, their provider, and other specs that are in use. We would like to ask the European providers to address this, and appreciate your cooperation to help us.

This is sad and funny at the same time, I feel sorry for those who subbed for 6 months.

I don't know what you are complaining about. Yes, FFXIV has the worst lag in MMO gaming, including F2P games and indie titles. Yes, this has been the case since closed beta months ago. Yes, SE clearly has no idea how to fix it, doesn't care enough to fix it, or more than likely both. Yes, SE has been ignoring the thousands of posts on the issue and will continue to do so.

But didn't you read about all the random decorations you can add to your house for no reason?! Sign me up for a lifetime sub.

I live in the UK and don't notice any issues with avoiding AoE's since they changed it from the circle around you to a point in the middle of where you stand.

they'll never admit it's their problem
