If you're about to lose you can just leave the instance, or if you're fast enough you can leave the instance with the elimated pop up on screen, you'll have to click where the confirm button is under it however.
Dumb you have to do this, but it helps a lot.
I didn't liked the event at all... I did liked all the rewards, I think the outfit is really cool and most of the stuff are pretty decent. That being said I disliked the event in general.
First and most important of all: FF XIV is for me a very cooperative game, and cooperation is what I like the most from the game. Almost all the content in the game is cooperative except for maybe PvP (which is casually my least favourite part of the game) ... That being said, a competitive nature game like the one they choose to make the event about it's not my turf at all. I do not enjoy playing that kind of games, specially based around "skills" or whatever, even if I'm winning them (and I'm not whining because I couldn't win the event or anything like that, I did won several times, just for real it was something totally out of fun for me) ... The net doesn't help AT ALL. In my case I have at least like 3 or 4 seconds of lag so, it's just a guessing game at that point if you are going to get knocked down by something or not.
I have seen some bad attitudes too like people mocking other people by staying at the finish linea until the last second and stuff like that. I'm not saying this is the worst thing in the world, I'm just saying it's an attitude I do not like or enjoy or even find it funny. That being said i just spammed the event until getting all the stuff in the store and that's it. A totally joyless and boring event for me. I understand some people might like this kind of events or games, I do not. I would rather have a cooperative kind of event. And that's just my take on it.
For all those who say they can't make it past round 1 and they blame the ping. Learn, overcome, adapt.
It's just figuring out patterns then playing safe due to risk of snapback. But that's nothing new in this game.
The netcode does suck for this I agree. But it's not the reason why you're losing. I mean I make it to round 3 in the majority of my matches fairly easily yet I'm playing with the same netcode.
TLDR: get gud
Event itself: okay enough, not sure who asked for this collab but whatever, gold saucer does need more stuff to do
Rewards: clashes a little with the rest of the game, but then again so does the streetwear shit too so I'm not too miffed
Gameplay: Absolutely terrible, showcases how bad this game is with high ping/bad server ticks/snapshotting/whatever u wanna call it, also boring rotation of few maps, queue problems and shouldn't lock you to these terrible menu cutscene things, it makes this entire thing just feel like a slog to even start/end
Achievement: Whomever came up with it should be fired
People have got to be cheating already. I just had the most godsend RNG on my path in round 3 and someone on the other side somehow managed to win. I'm talking I didn't have to stop moving or deviate any more than necessary for the Yojimbo slashes and someone still beat me by a lot. They're speed hacking already as they've done in other PvE and PvP. There's no other way they could have beat me when I pretty much went in a straight line because they were on the other side. So since I wasn't dodging stuff, that meant they would have to be dodging stuff.
Is the furniture compatible with island sanctuary?
you know, to make racing track using the various barriers and props.
I haven't tested it yet but apparently ninja still has faster movement speed. Might be that.People have got to be cheating already.
