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

You played ARR, yeah? They kept their promises just fine - It's a heavily "standard" themepark MMORPG and gained way more subs than XIV 1.x retained in its 3 year life span, so in all honesty..they did regain trust and keep their promise.

SE's promise at least, Yoshi's promise was to make this a FF game, still waiting for that :\

Sub cancelled. My heart aches, but there really is no other reply to give.

Sorry, FFXIV. I've officially gone back to WoW. You managed to convince me for multiple months that this issue was actually acceptable and that I should just work around it, but playing that other game for all of ten minutes reminded me that this crap isn't actually standard. This one issue is legitimately game-breaking. And I would hold out hope for you to fix it eventually if you just said "It's on our to-do list, it just might take a long time". I would even respect you marginally more if you just said "We realize that this is a thing but we're not really inclined to fix it, sucks for you". But for you to essentially say "All of the people complaining about this are just crazy and/or bad players, this is obviously a camera zoom issue" is just... I'm sorry. If your heads are that far buried in the sand then I'm sure you won't actually notice the fact that my boyfriend and I have stopped throwing money at you, so I guess it's all good.

Can't believe they haven't owned up to this yet. Embarrassing. People are going to leave and that makes me sad. SE doesn't deserve customers though if they don't address one of the main issues the community has.

Doing ADS last night, I was all too reminded of this issue. Watching as my silences as a tank failed to work even though they fully landed and I saw the effect before the cast bar was done. Watching as people got out of piercing laser before the cast was over but still died. Watching as that key benediction landed on me or the other tank when we were at low health and I saw the healing numbers but still died. There is only one game I have ever played that was this terribly coded, and that was FFXIV 1.0...

I want to love this game and be committed to it, but I am reaching the end of my patience due to the issue described in this thread.

Such a shame they are losing customers and will continue to do so because they can't make a simple post at least acknowledging this issues existence.

I guess they learned nothing much from 1.0!

I will also be canceling if this isn't addressed.

I don't know if I can last more than another month if this issue doesn't see any sort of resolution, or at least is addressed. I've only been playing going on two months now, and I enjoy the game, and have patience for shortcomings in many areas that others do not (lack of endgame content, etc). But when it comes to getting hit by attacks that I am CLEARLY out of, and dying, that's where I draw the line. I haven't seen a technical issue like this since I played Vanguard: Saga of Heroes, and that game is pretty much a legend for being half-assed and buggy/broken as hell when it came out.

They have reduced the lag. I've not had a single instance of the issues people in this thread are complaining about. I take that back my ISP was screwed for a few days and I had this EXACT problem. Then the net speeds came back and the issue was gone. It's been said a hundred times by now but the issue isn't the game servers (at least entirely). I played 1.0 and that was obvious but has been resolved.

Also, offensively calling out the devs is the last thing that's going to get them to post a response.
