Will the European servers ever move to europe?

One more hint... the aoe markers on the ground don't signify the actual aoe getting triggered... need to watch the cast bars on the bosses for that. If you are out before the cast bar reaches 75-90% you will likely dodge everything - in case of extra latency call it 50%.

Once I started doing that titan hm kinda became a sleep fest and I once healed it with some really bad lag spikes like 20s fine then 5s full freeze. Was one of the few people that didn't die by the end. But yeah I remember the first month or so of titan hm... kept dying to stuff all the time - usually survived post heart and then died in the first few aoes...

Hints are great and stuff, but they really shouldn't be needed. The latency from Europe is noticeable (UK is like the only country that has decent delay out of Europe), requires European players to play better than American players, to have a better reaction time, and faster decision making. That should not be the case, and I am really looking forward to the EU datacenter.

Also I really pity OCE players, since their salvation is likely never going to happen. :/

I really, really wish there were servers for Australians. I try to compensate as much as I can for my lag issues but things like the Cutter's Cry Chimera are absurd. I can get the message now, run to the outer rim of the room, and still get hit by the eyes burn blue attack.

Yeah, I have tried to dodge Ram's Voice using Elusive Jump, and it was like impossible, the jump animation triggered like in the middle of the cast, and I still got hit. The main reason I never use Elusive Jump to dodge as DRG.

Its funny how theres still atleast one person being like " hey, i dont mind paying the full monthly fee for this game, with me having a ping of 150, while others have a perfectly fine ping."
In the end, it isnt even about dodging aoes, if you are used to it, the delay doesnt bother you, but yeah.. new and inexperienced players be like "fk this laggy sht game" because they dont know whats wrong.

being in Australia, moving recently from a NA to a JP server, even 110 pings are a godsend. Yes, still some niggles, CDs are clunky, some AOEs still tricky, but can clear so many AOEs I had no hope of dodging before.
I don't know why some people still flatly refuse to believe this issue exists.

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.

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.

This is my first forum post here, ever. I logged in only to say, thank you! I'm sorry that you've had to suffer from this too but I'm so glad to hear someone else understands my pain. I call the Chimera my character's arch nemesis. I didn't do duty roulette for a couple of weeks because I was so worried I'd get Cutter's Cry. When I decided to stop being a scaredy cat (pun intended) and got into the duty finder, guess which one was the first I got? Yeeeup. FML. Didn't dodge it one single time. I felt so guilty because I thought to myself "I hope the others can carry me through this".

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.

I'm considering moving to a JP server too to resolve the lag issue but the big one for Aussies, Tonberry, is perpetually full. Did you move to Tonberry or is there another JP server with a sizable English speaking population? Also, can you dodge the Cutter's Cry Chimera's Ram's Voice attack now?
