    Three tips for helping with the dodging issue:
    1. If you are on Windows, google Leatrix's Latency Fix (confirmed works on Windows 10 even)
    2. If you have an instant cast ability, e.g. you are a black mage with Scathe, toss that ability or spell as soon as you exit the AOE. This forces the server to update your position.
    3. If you don't have an instant cast ability or it's not up for non-mages, make a hard right turn and run parallel to whatever it was you were dodging (e.g. run alongside the landslide.) The act of turning in another direction forces the server to acknowledge you changed positions. If you just keep running in a straight line, the server doesn't know you've moved because the client won't bother sending a notice until you've gone a certain distance. The directional change forces the update immediately.

    As for the EU Data center move, I suspect it will only be Chaos data center servers affected by the long maintenance.

    Now I know why the jumping platforms in Fractal are glitchy. I run through them and nothing happens, I need to run back and stand still for a second or so.

    ...

    In the end I didn't actually die but that was only because my HP was high enough that I didn't get one shotted, and thanks to the healer.

    Can't wait for the EU server. The five or so days downtime will be worth it. I'll just play Terraria while I wait.
    In a lot of cases, saw someone else mention it, it helps to run out and stop right in your tracks (perhaps turn a little) so the game will "register" where the heck you are. With a-hole Chimera though it doesn't work.

    It wasn't a problem doing the Dhorme Chimera with my Bard for the relic quest, but that was because we did the snow slope cheaty thing. I won't do it with my poor Dragoon here until I see if it gets better with the EU server.
