.3 Second Positional Update Delay (Requesting Dev Response)

[GilbertLapine]

This a really bad situation that needs to be addressed.

The delay will lead to loss of subs. I personally dont have an issue with this but ive seen videos that titan will slam the ground and the person would shoot off the edge 10 seconds later from the ability. THat would make me rage quit almost instantly.

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!

Thanks you Yoshi P for adressing this issue.
And as said above:

"The game will only work in certain areas, we're not fixing it everwhere" and you lot jump around like kids at a disco.

The point was more that they recognize it as an issue in general and can therefore address it going forward. I was never looking for an immediate fix, that would be an impossible thing to ask for. However, them at least acknowledging it's a thing and moving forward from there (even if it starts only in certain areas at first) is good. Them addressing it in the live letter and not just commenting somewhere random is a major win. Even if you don't want to see it that way.

Unfortunately you are right... Its not much but it's a first step.

I would think most people are primarily concerned with this issue in areas where single attacks can kill you or render you unable to continue the fight (e.g. being knocked out of the ring on Titan HM), so they are picking the areas that are the most likely pain points for people that suffer from these issues.

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