Can we please, have a modernization for the servers. (Specifically, tick/refreshrate)

I actually agree with this,

Its starting to get very noticable these days. I'll be way outside of some AoE mechanic, and I die in a place where there's no way in hell it should have hit me but did.

I havent' ever noticed it quite this bad before, and it affects whole alliances too.

Where you die is not the same as where you got hit though. You usually get hit when the cast bar completes or the red aoe disappears, but the act of the server setting your character to a "dead" status is delayed.

By the time it sets it, you have definitely had time to run far away from it, but it doesn't change the fact that it snapshotted you as dead a few seconds earlier, and it goes through with executing that death regardless. Generally, you know your character is dead a few seconds before they actually die because of having seen yourself in the red circle when it disappear or when the cast completed.

It is certainly an odd system to not do it purely by animation, but it is just how it is and I don't think there is necessarily a right way to do it. It could snapshot via cast or via animation and that's a choice for a developer but I think that cast is more consistent while animation is more intuitive from playing other games.
