devs attitude to players

[Obysuca]

Just to throw this out there since we're talking about people getting hit on Titan and other AoEs.

Jumping does not get you out of the AoE. It's slower than running.

Also for mages who constantly get hit. You have sprint. Watching your char helps too instead of staring at the mob and don't try to get that last cast off before dodging, you'll get hit.

I've gotten the occasional lag but nothing to where it made me get hit by AoEs over and over like I've seen happen to other people.

Just because it doesn't happen to you doesn't mean it's non existent. I've had lag issues when my net is perfectly fine on some instances during the game and it's usually after their patches or someone else I know will have it, but it doesn't affect me until a few days later. It's there, it's like the 90k error that happened before the last patch, I only got it once when many others were getting it about 10-20 times a day.

Edit: The thread below might shine some light on the issue.

I get slammed with lag in instances monday to tuesday and late night wendsday and it is always during those times but after that (when people get their cap and stop farming so much) the lag goes away and all is good. The kind of lag iam talking about is the mobs and people stand still then all the sudden jump to where they should be.

Great thing about that gif is you can clearly see the person is standing in the landslide. The delay for moving out of area of effect abilities works the same EVERYWHERE. If you're still in the red when the cast finishes, you're gonna get hit, regardless of if you aren't there when the animation plays. If you're ever expecting it to work any other way, you're getting your hopes up for nothing, because the game wasn't designed to work that way. Learn how to play WITH the delay, rather than blaming "lag".

So we should learn to play with a defective system instead of demanding 2007 responsiveness in a 2013 game? Gotcha, it all makes sense now. We are wrong for expecting gaming performance to improve as time goes on. Instead we should have been expecting it to regress.

If you're honestly thinking I'm saying that lag doesn't exist, then I suggest you work on your reading comprehension skills. Obviously lag does exist, and it can be responsible for many a wipe, especially when paired with the already intended delay. I can say however after watching that video, not once have I ever experienced anything like that, if I get hit by something, it's because I was too slow in getting out of the red (even just barely making it out is too slow). If you're playing and literally standing behind something for a few seconds before it's cast is finished, there is something wrong on YOUR end. (And when I say YOUR I mean YOU or YOUR ISPs)

My end? Then why it only happen on FFXIV? I played GW2, TSW, w/e, I never have issue like this, dodging aoe.

The vid is not mine, it also happens to many of our friends here http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-fix-something.

I wasn't talking about YOU specifically, I was saying "you" in regards to anyone who is experiencing issues like in that video.

Just a reminder, that you have to get out of the red BEFORE the animation completes. If the cast completes and you're marginally still in it although the animation hasn't played, you're gonna get hit.

If learning to adjust to lag and move preemptively, is going to be the standard for how to play the game, then people are going to have to try and fail enough times to learn. Therefore people will also need to be patient and stop saying, "Quit standing in AOE!" I don't care how many times you watch it on Youtube. A video will never represent the specific conditions you experience in the fight. And it will change at different times and different days.

That's exactly what progression is. Anybody expecting to 1 shot a fight the first time you go there does not understand how to play an MMO. You're SUPPOSED to fail, over and over, until you get it down.
