Ifrits greatest weapon: Animation Lag

[Onidemon]

That infamous "animation lag" Yoshi-P likes to reference, here it is working against the player in the most important moments I'm sure everyone that has attempted the fight knows exactly what this feels like.

We'll get you soon enough Ifrit, lawls!

Ifrits Ultimate: Animation Lag

That's why they are changing the servers. It will all go away once they updated the new servers.

Meanwhile folks, just try to put up with stuff like this!

I don't mind too much, we get by and my LS have beaten ifrit once (cudgel went to someone who could even use it! Fancy that!) but to be honest, it's hard to be motivated when the fight can, at times, be a game of russian roulette...

If I monkey it up and get caught due to animation lock then I accept it's my fault for not paying attention. It's times like this where you just look at the screen though and think "wha...?"

this is what I'm experiencing every single battle.
I know the right pace, and the right time, but i just can not dodge due to lag. Please fix this, this game is not JP only. If you cant make the content fair international to all nations in an international server, then change or dont make this content at all.

Greetings,

We have created a sticky thread in the Technical Support forum to gather data from users who are experiencing possible issues with lag/network latency, etc. Please visit the thread and follow the steps listed so we can gather the appropriate feedback and compile it for the dev. team to investigate.

Thanks, guys! I know when the Darkhold first came out, if more than one party was already in the dungeon in another instance, the vids would be choppy and we'd randomly lose people to D/C (sometimes 2/3 at the same moment) and after that it was just chaos with the lag. A mob would start casting, we'd make it clean out of range, and still get massacred.

Glad to see we have a place to report such things now.

My latency goes from 4 R to 100+ R as soon as I step into Ifrit. Reboot servers please.

Isn't R the amount of data you are (R)eceiving as opposoed to (S)ending? CMIIW but the numbers do not reflect your latency, the color of the arrow does.

I suffer the same problems as many others in this thread, but I have come up with a work round: I tanked Ifrit . This way I am expected to take damage and the heals are directed at me. I managed my first two kills yesterday and on the second run I got my first weapon. After that another player took the tanking duties and the old problem raised its head and I spent more time face down on the ground than hitting Ifrit.

I've pretty much given up on doing the Challenging content until they mend the latency issues. My latency constantly goes red, More frequently when in fights. Not only that, even if it isn't red, moving out of danger zones doesn't always help. I am in one place but the server believes I'm in another. It cant possibly have to wait until the data is moved over to the new servers...

I wish that worked for me. I tank ifrit all the time, but because I stay in the red for up to 30 seconds at a time I end up losing agro. The funny thing is, I can still chat to linkshell and the server never disconnects me..... It just effects avatar actions
