NA relic weapon

[Crimzon]

o.O just wanted to know if any NA/EU got a relic or not lol

Blizzard LS on Gungnir just defeatd Ifrit (Extreme) a few hours ago. (7 NA 1 EU) We completed 8 relics (2 PLD, 2 WHM, BLM, DRG, WAR, BRD). Also have 4 more people on that stage (2 DRG, WHM, WAR) that we are rotating in now.

The fight is about knowing what & when Ifrit is going to do. Latency does not prevent you from winning this fight. If you are A) in the right position before he does a WS and B) do not get caught in animation lock when he does do that WS, then any reasonably skilled group should be able to avoid everything.

From that point it is taking down his horns ASAP or else get caught by some less avoidable WS's and having the DPS to burn through the nail phases. Practice makes perfect.

The problem with latency was never that it makes it impossible, the problem was always that we have to foresee the events while others can react to it, just living in JP does not mean you have best latency, also in NA we have many different connections to the servers. Be realistic, latency is in fact an issue but to say content becomes impossible is not true, same as to say content is not influenced by latency!

Videos by the way are no source of facts, why do you think exists test labs if you simply can explain everything with a single random video?
There are so many factors, it is impossible to say why on videos some JP players seems to have lag, latency or animation lock. We only can guess but thats no prove, so be cautious with your judgement.

Just say it you cant dodge with latency while others can, we all happy.

Please get over your elitist "I'm a better player than you LOLZ" attitude and realise that Yukiko never once stated that latency prevents her from dodging. She was simply stating (like many people have said over and over again in this thread) that the battle IS made slightly more difficult than it is for those living closer to the server due to latency issues. Get your head out of the sand.

LATENCY ISSUES:
Do they exist? Yes, they do.
Do they make the battle harder? Slightly, of course.
Does it prevent anyone with enough skill from winning the battle? Absolutely not.

GRATS! you tell them :P

Pple complaining about latency wont be able to do anything harder than pre 2.0 most likely,
I wonder how many complaining about latency actually put aside one window for boss actions >.>
