A good PC makes all the difference when you play this game

[Atoli]

I played with 3-7 fps until the start of 2015.
It wasn't just a "unless I instantly react, I can't evade"-situation, it was a situation in which I had already gotten hit before something even showed up on my screen. Didn't help that additionally my ping was over 300 as well

I learned to count the seconds between boss moves, knew their entire "rotation" by heart in case of bosses with a fixed one; for raiding I had to rely on audible cues by teammates. To this day, I lack my Odin chocobo barding because when Odin was still relevant, joining the FATE resulted in seeing a new picture about once every 3 minutes.

But with instanced content, I got by the way I mentioned before
When I finally bought a gaming laptop at the start of 2015, for a while I actually sucked more than before!
I was NOT used to all that time I suddenly had! I tended to return into AoEs after moving out long before they finished casting...xD
The sudden drop in in difficulty of all content was seriously confusing ._.

Once, apparently I fought Odin's ghost for about five minutes after he died. My friends laughed at me
