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

Battleping is a VPN service and probably wont work on PS3 unless you have the technical know-how and desire to void your warranty to basically turn your PS3 into a computer. If you've already tried the lowest possible graphic settings with no improvement, that wont work either (you might get an Frames-Per-Second boost and feel that everything is smoother, but try a popular FATE during the prime-time of your server, as well as a popular tome dungeon during the cap rush at reset, and one primal fight such as Titan and see if it holds). Connecting directly by cable to router rather than wireless might alleviate some of it, as well as resetting the router and port forwarding the ports that FFXIV uses (I got no change from this).

Bump. And ignore Tupsi from now on, they're some sort of concern troll at this point.

This issue will start pushing players away from the game in no time.

There's a lot of amazing things SE has done with the gameplay of this MMO, but in the end, the unresponsiveness will simply kill the game for anyone who's experiencing it.

There are plenty of other games available where this issue doesn't even exist, and it would be greatly appreciated if someone important at SE could give these thousands of players discussing the problem a response.

Bump for great justice.

Agreed. This is literally killing the game for some folks.. which in turn will kill the game for me. If my FC mates leave the game because they literally can't beat Titan with the delay as it is, my enjoyment suddenly drops and I'll end up leaving too. That or the frustration of being hit by things I was out of becomes more than the fun I'm getting out of the game itself and I leave. Either of those scenarios could be months from now, but if the issue persists I can't see me staying with the game as long as I have stayed with other MMOs in the past. So it rather kills the longevity potential.

Then all of use who recognize the issue will be gone, and any new players who come to the forums to find out why they were hit with that AOE will just be met with people telling them they're bad and to fix their ISP. :x

Bump because I can't believe this hasn't been addressed yet. Ok fine, I can believe it.

/sigh

I have this feeling they aren't going to do anything.
Call it a hunch. Maybe I'm just in a bad mood.

Your feeling is probably right, but... I still hold out a tiny bit of hope.

It's so awful. It honestly, even at its best, reminds me of Warhammer Online. It was horrible then and it's horrible now. At least that game had the decensy to 'queue' your moves so they came out when the client caught up.

I can't believe I'm playing an MMO where the controls feel so sluggish. I have to MASH my keys, and heaven knows if my moves come out. Oh I am tired of doing Rage of Halone on a moving target, seeing the animation complete and then find out the mob was out of range so I have to do it again, and again... oh my combo timed out. Well isn't that great?
