Red Ring of Death!

[SchalaZeal]

What was your other game, Everquest 1? How can you prove that any game except the same game is even comparable?

How about this?

Same PC, same MMO, same connection, same player, same dungeon, same boss move.

Situation 1: I was not casting anything. Plumes/Landslide appears under me. I move out of it. Nothing happens, I do not get hit.
Situation 2: I was casting a spell with a cast time, probably Adloquium on tank or Succor. Plumes/Landslide appears under me. I interrupt my cast by moving. Cast completes anyway because it was nearly there. I'm out of circle by the time boss cast is over. I do get hit, and possibly die.

While perception is one thing, I could see attributing this to a lag spike. rule of thumb is if other people in the same group experience the same thing at the same time, yeah that is probably something tied to SE.

I'm not saying SE is perfectly innocent to the networking woes, but they are certainly a scapegoat regardless of guilt.

I'm saying that far too many people are blaming all their networking woes without any idea what they are talking about, meaning the majority are probably wholly unrelated to said shared spikes.

An issue affecting 1 player in the whole party? psh, give me a break.
