Thread: .3 Second Positional Update Delay (Requesting Dev Response)

I've even had multiple occasions of reacting late to Titan plumes and barely getting out as it popped and not taking damage.

There are plenty of videos showing people getting hit by AOEs when they are out (even a few in the original post of this thread) and lots of threads, both here and in other forums discussing the issue. I am glad you are not getting the issue, but please don't pretend it doesn't exist. People should not be getting hit by AOEs they are out of, even if it's related to their latency. That issue cannot be found in any other MMO, or at least I searched and couldn't find it, nor has anyone provided a video of it happening. It should not be happening here.

None of the AAA MMO's I have played in the last 15 years had this issue, it's archaic and feels completely out of place in a modern game.

No MMOs period have. They doesn't have to be AAA. I tried searching for the issue just to see, because I couldn't recall it happening ever. No search results using Rift, Tera, Vindictus, Aion, Eden Eternal, and so on. I've even offered to change my wording in the OP and stop touting that as fact if someone can provide me with evidence otherwise (a video or something), because if it was anywhere near a problem then it would be like it is for this game, and videos would be everywhere, as well as multiple threads.

I came to FFXIV from Rift, having played it from release (FFXI vet and tried XIV 1.0 beta/launch as well), and the combat there was much more fluid and coherent than it is here.

Yup! I know the problem existed in FFXI, but it was far less noticeable because the game seemed to be focused around it.

lol...all games have this, you just need to google to get dozens of Threads from any Game about the same issue and guess what; People blame the Game for it and that no other Games has this issues.

I do not deny the Problem, but i seriously find this sort of comments funny and sometimes pathetic. You can go and discuss the Topic and the actual Problem, but seriously stop trying to pretend that other Game's don't have the same issues. They have and it is the same like in this forum, some people have more issue's than other people and some don't have Problems at all.

Please, find me a video of someone in any other MMO that got hit by an AOE they were clearly out of just like the videos in the original post I made. I did a Google search for various MMOs and received zero results.
