devs attitude to players

[Dreamer]

It's probably because you're a computer player. I'm on the PS3 and I don't get hit by anything..

I will be honest though...I remember when I first started Titan that I used to blame lag too.

I've beaten Titan. I have my relic. The fight itself isn't hard. The difficult part is that you HAVE to memorize the rotation so that you can be moving before he begins casting his abilities. That's not fighting Titan, that's fighting the game to make up for its shortcomings. Yoshi-P can don the DealWithIt shades if he wants, but if stuff like this doesn't get addressed it IS going to negatively affect player retention.

I actually don't have to memorize them. Again, ~200ms and I can dodge it all, not predict, dodge.

I seem to have the opposite issue to many people, in that everything functions server-side (buffs activate, attacks land) but the animation doesn't trigger at my end. I've mentioned it before, but it's not unusual for mounts to take 10-20 seconds to load. And I can't count the amount of times I've had to stand and wait for an NPC to load - or killed an enemy before I've drawn my sword.

I'm on the PS3, and the lag is hilarious. Interestingly, in a different city, on a different connection, and on the PC, I have the same problem.

Inability to dodge is the least of your worries. The server eating buffs and abilities without ever executing them is a real problem. Complain about that.

yoshi's response to our complaints about lag in fights (mainly titan) as telling us to zoom out that we are bad players is very alarming and infuriating if this sort of attitude continues i don't see this game living on. this is not early 2000 anymore if you insult your customers they will leave.

if this is true then yoshida is nothing more than tanaka 2.0 now

I find it a bit humorous that since Yoshi-"L2P" has taken the reigns of FFXIV, he has completely turned it around from the failure it was in 1.0; but the second he says something "we" don't agree with, he's the one that's wrong.

I'm not saying the man is infallible, but he MIGHT just know what he's talking about.

Developers who refuse to defend their own product and cave to the communities outcries about things being too difficult or not good enough end up with boring, homogenized games. Case in point, WoW.

Had it happen the other day to me in WP on the first boss. Me and the other two that were dodging the circles kept getting hit even though we were out almost as soon as they were around us. So yes it happened to the whole group and therefore on server side. This is the first time I had an issue with this boss.

Great thing about that gif is you can clearly see the person is standing in the landslide. The delay for moving out of area of effect abilities works the same EVERYWHERE. If you're still in the red when the cast finishes, you're gonna get hit, regardless of if you aren't there when the animation plays. If you're ever expecting it to work any other way, you're getting your hopes up for nothing, because the game wasn't designed to work that way. Learn how to play WITH the delay, rather than blaming "lag".
