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

I think it's less of a big deal in the field areas

It will still be very frustrating, but at least, it won't prevent people from finishing the game. It'll turn from gamebreaking to simply very annoying. It's a minimum imho, but one that I wasn't even sure would come, so I'm glad they are doing it.

Exactly. I was *hoping*, but didn't *expect* anything. Which is why I am very pleased right now.

Nobody cares about this issue other then in endgame/pvp circumstances.

I could give a rats ass about a random goblin in idontcarelocation that hits me for a 300 Bomb Toss out of my 6500HP...as long as it's "fixed" in endgame...I'm fine with it.

However, how about Coil? CT? I know Coil just wasn't fun for me because of that (ADS laser etc.) I hated this instance, because it made me feel unjustly punished, not heroic at all. So, when would a Coil / CT fix come, if ever? That's quite concerning.

He SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED ENDGAME IN GENERAL. Not just Primal Fights. Don't start any false rumours cause there are a shitton of people jumping the bandwagon and spread lies which hurts the game for no reason.

Seriously? I didn't hear that while watching Reinhard's translation (who said he couldn't translate everything though, so I agree we shouldn't take that as fact).

The official Q&A translation in this forum doesn't say specifically though.

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!

If it's all high-level content, including Coil, CT etc., then I stand corrected. And satisfied!

I agree, I just assumed so from the live letter translation, since I only read Primordial Fights and Den there. It was a great thing for Reinhardt to do anyway, so I don't blame him btw. Don't blame me either!
