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

At what point do you decide you're done trying and you just leave S.E. to their flop? Also, bump.

In 9 days when my sub runs out. Also, curious if anyone has contacted SE directly (chat or phone support) about this issue and what the response was.

I guess you guys all have a VPN?
If not that would be a good start to dodge AOE.

Shouldn't be required to dodge an AOE.. same as using a skill after you're out, not using a skill while you're in, or having to dodge with x amount of time left on cast timer is left shouldn't be required.

having to dodge with x amount of time left on cast timer is left shouldn't be required.

Wait...what? You're saying you should be able to finish your cast before going out the aoe? I'm confused by the "time left on cast timer is left" part.

That means, if I'm out of the aoe by the time the boss finishes his cast, I should not get hit. It's how every single other MMO works that I've ever played (Rift, Tera, Neverwinter, WoW, TSW.. any other MMO, literally). It's not out by 70%, or out by 80%.. out by the time it finishes.

The "problem" is not that people didn't use a skill when out of the aoe (the fact that doing that works shows it's not a latency issue, just by the way), or that they weren't out "soon enough" cause the cast bar was past 80%. The problem is that the indicators on the screen can't by relied upon to accurately gauge whether you get hit by something or not.

He means the enemy's cast bar..

AoE's are tied to the cast bar, but currently if you are not out of AoE by the time the cast bar gets to 70-80% (sometimes closer to 50% for people), then you will most likely get hit.

Try Guild wars 2 then, you'd be surprised.

A VPN is a good solution, yes we agree it shouldn't be necessary but actually it is, at least until they figure this out.

Why talk about it for 130 pages? (that's my real question)

[Sunarie]

I have played Guild Wars 2, and I never had the issue, actually. I've literally had it in no other MMO. The 130 pages is because there hasn't been an official response. With servers located only in Canada, and an automatic 300 ms latency built into the game (.3 seconds per positional update), many of us are wondering if they even consider it a bug at all. They purposefully lowered it from .5 to .3 seconds after beta. We don't know if the .3 is permanent or not without insight.

So, a long thread, updated daily, with multiple examples given is the best way to maybe get a response (cause they do usually comment on things in the forums). I would much rather bump this, let people know it's not just them, and that it is still an issue, than just say nothing.

100% agree with this thread hope to get a reply and action from se
