"I Was Out of That!" (Some Life Lessons)

[Aeyis]

If you can't be bothered to at least watch a short video or read about the fight, sure, w/e.

But if you don't even have the decency to announce to the group that you are new and have no idea what to do so people can give you a quick run down, you are going to cause everyone in the group head aches or be a complete carry.

Elitist attitude at its finest. The irony here is that this game is very easy to play.
Also, might I enquire what you know of decency? You dont seem to know much about it.

It's funny how many people will link those exact 'year old' videos knowing that the positional server response has improved by a huge margin since then.

Those aren't proof, it's about time to stop linking them.

It hasnt improved. Funny indeed. After coming to ARR from WoW I had to adjust quite a bit, the delay is that bad.

It very much has improved. Its still worse than other games, but the statistical delay between server pings was 3 times as far apart on launch as they are now.

Are you sure you are not just measuring your personal experiences, or even hearsay? Because if the delay was 3 times as much as it is now, I'd personally have no window to get out of many aoe abilities at all.
Because as it is for some abilities the delay is a third or even half the actual casting time on the ability..

Its been acknowledged over the course of the game by Yoshida and been in patch notes, too lazy to look it up, I might be wrong on it being as much as 3 times as long, though. On launch the in built delay was 0.333 seconds which is a ridiculous amount, and made titan actually require you to know timings beforehand to dodge. After a fairly short amount of time they reduced that for Coil only, saying servers would be overloaded if they reduced it for everywhere else. Later they reduced it for dungeons outside of coil, and I believe we now have it reduced for overworld content as well. This is not based on my personal experience in the slightest.

Edit: Also a side note, a lot of people mistake the animation time vs cast time on whether they got hit by an AoE, since most games work differently than XIV on this. When the cast bar finishes, whether someone got hit or not is already decided, the animation time after the cast time has nothing to do with it. Not saying this is the case with you, just mentioning in case anyone reading this post didn't know.

I don't know what the exact delay is like (for me) right now, but it's definately not as little as 0.1~
I didnt watch castbars much myself, as a healer. The delay is very noticable, both when moving out of aoes and when casting. It's possible to clip heals in a way I've never seen possible anywhere else, unless I had massive ping.

The delays are bad, If I do not turn down my graphics to minimums, According to what I see, I am the first to move, I keep moving all the way to edge of the platform and I die out there. When I would ask other people, the would say it seemed like I moved late. I turned graphics way down and that changed, so I totally believe people who say they were out.

I'll have to try that. Would be kind of weird if graphics could effect it, but who knows.

It could be a vram issue. Back in the ps3 days, the first everything (gaol, weights, landslide) would come out noticeably late compared to its methodical cycle, but after loading the first time, it never happened for the remainder of the fight. Not saying this is what he's experiencing, but rather a possibility. I personally have never heard of lowering your gpu performance to accommodate for lag, except with the obvious fps issues that may slow down your reaction time.
