I've never had any issue at all, living in the UK and playing on PS3. In Titan I have never had any lag when it comes to landslides or bomb boulders. Admittedly at prime time I do have some issues some of the time but I'm with an ISP that most would agree with is the worst in the country. The 3 millisecond delay is tiny really and blaming that is silly. Yes it's more than a lot of games but it's really not that bad.

I feel bad for you guys having to deal with this lag, and I do get lag at prime time in AK but that's to be expected in any game as there are a lot of people playing, more so than most MMO's. However I think that part of the problem lies with your ISP and not the game. Of course the game is partly responsible because that 3 millisecond delay on top of ISP issues can make a bad ISP worse. People are very quick to blame the game for such a wide issue like the internet.

You need to understand, it has nothing to do with when the red appears and disappears, the cast bar is the only thing that matters. Many things require you to be out of the red well before the animation for the attack starts.

On the other hand, you can get a jump on your attacks if you know when the cast bar ends. For Garuda blasts and the room aoe on the last boss of AK, for example, I am out of hiding and back to work before the animation starts, it looks like I eat it. I probably give teammates in pugs a heart attack every time I do this.

The problem is exactly this. There is cast time, ground warning, and cast animation but only the cast time is important. The issue is from the first two lining up poorly from time to time. Titans weight of the earth loves to hit me... rather odd since I am a person who has been dealing with those exact type of mechanics in WoW for the last few years and never had a problem.

The worst is when everyone in the group can see you are clear of something with plenty of time left but you still get hit with it...

Snip.

It's not just 0.3sec. It can happen at the start of a skill, then at the end, so it can be 0.6s. Add on that to ISP/iternet issue and you get a bad situation.
