Anti crowd control tooltips must need be made clearer

[Osmond]

I'm not sure how many people actually know how some of the anti crowd control abilities work in effect.

- Purify: cleanses most crowd control but LBs and Miracle of Nature. Once something gets cleansed, you get a further 5s of cc immunity out of it.
- Guard (used before being cced): prevents any cc to be applied to you unless it comes from a LB (RPR/DNC come to mind).
- Guard (used after being cced): cleanses everything that doesn't make you lose control over your character/abilities, meaning soft cc like bind, heavy, half asleep, etc.
- Aquaveil/Meikyo: cleanse anything that's purifiable, but do NOT grant cc immunity when active.
- Warden's Paean: cleanses anything that's purifiable, else grants cc immunity when active.

I do believe the tooltips ingame are completely unable to convey those subtleties to players and should be improved in order to be.

Special mention to the pull in of Salted Earth that cannot be prevented unless you're guarding already...

I don’t what you are reading. The explanation is very clear what it is telling you. Also…….nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnno. I want the content to more easy guy/gals, please give it to me. I know what’s going to happen because it always happens. If SE do implement these perks, the same ppl WILL complain that status effects are useless.

I have literally no idea what substance you're abusing and even less whatever your post was supposed to mean in the first place.

[Osmond]

I know what your post is saying. It’ll take them a long time before they fix what those ability effects actually does, text correction or perhaps not at all. Been this way I guess since ARR. Ppl just roll with it and figure it out overtime.

To be honest Purge really needs a rework with the amount of stun lock down that some class can feed off of it, and Miracle of Nature needs somewhat of a fix being the only poly morph move in the entire game by only 1 class.

They should probably also add the additional description to Purify: "Doesn't work half the time due to latency"

Netcode* but yes.

Yeah it's mostly the netcode but also the weird server tick system this game uses and their interactions with latency. You get used to it in PvE but you can't really ever get used to your inputs not doing what they're supposed to do in PvP.

[Valence]

That's not the sever tick (that is on a 2 + 11/12th seconds and works for eorzean time, MP/HP regen ticks, Healing over Time), but that's definitely tied to how the netcode works: client sends command > client latency > server acknowledges reception > server "prepares the skill" (snapshot) > server sends back confirmation to client while animation delays are ongoing > server "resolves" the command after an arbitrary fixed delay to match the animation delay.

Or something in that vein in any case.
