I'm sorry, but I had to reply to this sentence. You are my hero for this. I wish more people had your "leet grammar skillz."

Fix it already.

Fix it already.

Fix it already.

I have this issue aswell. Im playing out from Norway , so I have auto 140ms on a good day back and forth to Canada. On peek times, its up to 180ms.

What I have tried so far: (i have the game on ps3 and pc, but play mainly on pc, craft on ps3)

Same issue on both machines, my pc and ps3. Im out of the AoE but get hit.
TRied my old Router, same issue. Tried a newer other brand router from a friends house. (no he doesnt play ff14)
I have opend up all my ports and all the tweaks you can do with my router. ( ASUS RT-AC66U 11AC AC1750 Router NOT A CHEAP LOUSY router mind you. Check the reviews of this device)
Tried WTFast and similar VPN tunneling software, all they do is lower my ms from 140ms to 135ms. But still get hit and have huge lag spikes.

In my mind it is a fine combination of poor netcode in the game. Servers located WAAAAAAY to far away from us European gamers.

And all my friends playing out of norway also got this issue!

Edit: My ISP connection is Fiber 50/50 Mbit both ways. So it is not my isp, since this isnt present in any other game/program ive tested from my end.

This a really bad situation that needs to be addressed.

Yoshi addressed this in the live letter (10) today. In 2.1 they are making some changes to (or seen in, waiting on official translation) Primals and PvP that they hope will help with the aoe delay. He's asking us to try those first. So yay! They at least acknowledge it's an issue, and are attempting to fix it in their own way. Major points for addressing it in the live letter, and kudos to all those who supported getting an answer.

Finally Yoshi... Finally......

Official response is out:
Q2: You have said that in FFXIV: ARR, the character's position is checked by the server once every 0.3 seconds. However there are times where the character receives AoE damage even though the character on the screen is outside of the range. Seems like the information on character's position is not up to date. Is there any plan to make an adjustment to this?

A2: If we apply faster response times in all areas, the load on the servers will be too much. Therefore, while it will only be for certain areas (for example high-level content and the Wolves' Den), you will be able to notice the faster response times. Please stay tuned!
