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

I know as far as that is concerned, SE has come out and said it was intentional and working as intended. I believe it had to do with the skill animation. I am with you though. If they're gonna make the animation go off prior to the effect of the ability applying, then they need to adjust the cast time to reflect that. I have had times where my Rage of Halone ability will actually interupt after starting with two slashes because I was running between targets to rotate combos on when things wouldn't group nice.

The delay is just such a pain on BLM. Trying to change between astral fire and astral ice with that ability(forgot the name) during fates can be a real pain. Especially when you add the lag in there with that delay. Which means i'm spamming that ability for like 5+ seconds to get it off lol.

Yeah, I had to majorly adjust when I decided to use my no damage ability (Hallowed Ground) because it takes almost full second for the effect to actually apply. So it's gone from a "emergency" skill to, "well it looks like I might be in an emergency soon" skill.

I don't mean to light a fire but I have an average connection and I've never once had an issue with getting hit by things. Back in 1.0 I remember getting hit by eruption all the time across the arena so I know it WAS a problem but I haven't seen a single instance of this happen in 2.0. I've even had multiple occasions of reacting late to Titan plumes and barely getting out as it popped and not taking damage.

Also, skill activation is more based on animation than global cooldown. Some skills won't go off if you started a longer animation skill prior. Hallowed Ground however is a pain in the arse.

There are plenty of videos showing people getting hit by AOEs when they are out (even a few in the original post of this thread) and lots of threads, both here and in other forums discussing the issue. I am glad you are not getting the issue, but please don't pretend it doesn't exist. People should not be getting hit by AOEs they are out of, even if it's related to their latency. That issue cannot be found in any other MMO, or at least I searched and couldn't find it, nor has anyone provided a video of it happening. It should not be happening here.

"Justice Bump", how cute.

JUSTICE BUMP

I have 180 days as well, so I'll be here with you. Additionally I'll probably be keeping a watch to see if they ever actually fix it.
