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

Hey, does anyone know what 199.91.189.234 is? Because when I trace my signal to Balmung (199.91.189.30), it must go through that server. And between 199.91.189.234 and the general Montreal network/backbone servers are two called 66.198.96.50 and 192.34.76.2. The last one being Ormuco Communications (which I assume is the company S-E hired for their Montreal center). Anyway, between network/backbone and Balmung, these four servers add 20-25+ to my ping, and I would really want to know why two of them (the unknowns) are there.

Also *bump*.

And still no response from SE. This is getting truly sad.

im a PS3 player and the PS3 lags so much harder the PC version does.. and it really puts a damper on avoiding AoE stuff.. Ill admit i sometimes can be slow and it takes me a bit to learn the fight but oncei have it learned I still get hit half the time.. and I have tried it on the PC and its better.. but still issues.. so this really needs ot be fixed.. i like the aoe doging dont get me wrong but i think for the lag/latency issues.. theres just TOO much of it.

The Problem here is, that she activated a skill just before the AoE, so she was locked in the 0,3 position check AND global cooldown - as clearly seen, she could not use any other skill before damage calculation! It may had helped if she changed running direction once she was out...

Well it's time for a bump.

I'm surprised this is still hasn't been addressed, or dismissed.

Can't tell if sarcasm or....

Players really shouldn't have to do all the stuff you listed to avoid an aoe. If you were listing it as a workaround to be helpful, props to you.. if you were saying they did it wrong and the game is fine with lag as is.. well.. I disagree. If the player is out by the red outline by the end of the cast (and the two -should- align so that the aoe effect on the screen can be relied on), then they shouldn't get hit. It really is as simple as that. Not.. prepare for aoe so stop attacking so you don't use a skill while in the aoe immediately after it shows up, move out, do a little dance and run the other direction, maybe throw in a pose as the skill goes off just to show the boss you didn't get hit.. and then resume attacking.

^ THIS.

Why should we have to find work-arounds for something that should be so BASIC in an MMORPG? If you're outside the AoE area before the AoE marker disappears, you should NOT get hit!

It makes me paranoid when I'm running out of Titan's Plumes, I keep expecting to get hit way after I've left the AoE area! I shouldn't have to keep crossing my fingers each time I run from an AoE!
