After doing the raid series this week, my biggest complaint is (again) the games netcode does not seem to play well with 'bullet hell' mechanics like the hearts or the orbs in the Nier raids. I've had times where I see my hitbox clip a heart/orb/little dude in the haunted house dungeon and nothing happens but I weave through a gap between two of them and get hit.

be careful pointing out people with latency issues too may struggle with certain content and someone has to be a jerk and show someone "rp walking" through aoes and not getting hit totally ignoring the fact that latency IS an issue with certain mechanics and being able to dodge them.

On the bright side, it seems to have massively improved from where it was in the Nier raids.

DT bullet hell mechanics don't seem to be nearly as janky as they used to be (still imperfect, but improved), with the first boss of Strayborough being the exception. As far as I can tell, that Strayborough boss seems to be intentionally designed that way because they're diving at your legs.

I can agree with this. For me it's hit or miss whether I avoid or run into things (I tend to cut things very close); solely on how my ISP is acting that day. Sometimes I can skirt a heart at a dangerously close proximity and be fine. Other times I get hit by them from 5 feet away.

I don't think it can be fixed with netcode since the logic are all in server, not on client.

I play in US data center from Asia since my friends all play in US, so you could say my latency is not great.
My tips for this kind of bullet hell is to look for the direction of the bullet, if you need to get across its path, walk behind it, not in front of it to account for latency.

Using Netcode as the layman's term for the game handles, I've gotten enough lectures from my IT friends about misusing terms.
