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

As it healer, it makes end game completely unplayable for me because getting hit by AoE at HM primal level means death for the whole party. Then I get raged on because people actually think I'm letting myself get hit by AoE. Noone notices when DPS gets hit because I just rez/heal them and continue playing. But when it happens to me it's because I don't know how to play. Today I decided will not resub until this issue is resolved. Like others, I just made a short vid demonstrating the problem.

I've tried casting out of AoE, switching direction... you name it. If the server has determined that you are "supposed" to get hit, there's nothing you can do about it.

I completely agree with you. As a tank im really supposed to hold the boss in the one spot , kite him around at points and so forth.But when i move if i get targeted by some kind of AOE hit and the healer and I are having the same .3 second delay problem , well you can imagine how well the boss fight goes cant you.

This game is brutal on healers.

These input-delay issues just make it even more brutal for healers. We're expected to magically fix other players' mistakes while they have the attitude that it's not their fault (even though sometimes it probably is) just because this issue exists.

Great video demonstrating the issue at hand, of course the detractors will blame every hop between you and the server as the problem.

The amount of evidence I've seen putting the blame firmly in the hands of SE is staggering, and yet there are still people that just say "ur bad" , "ur computer sucks", "ur connection sucks". Astonishing.
