Titan is hard because your camera isn't zoomed out, not because of server-side delays

[Marenwynn]

People still throw the "skill" argument?

It's not about how hard or easy it is, but how it makes the gameplay less enjoyable.
If you don't notice it, I'm sorry to sound rude, then you aren't nearly as good as you think.

There's nothing to notice because it doesn't lag. I've even humored the people on this forum and done the running spell test, with a server response difference of 70-90ms, which is exactly what I get when I manually test my connection to my server. Some people are definitely having latency issues, but it's not on SE's end. Most of them are just dying and scapegoating.

Would you be so kind as to provide a source?

Sure:

A: We've been receiving a lot of feedback on the EU forums about trouble with ISPs and network setups using WiFi. I believe information has already been shared by the European Community Team, but we would like players experiencing these issues to post further details that indicate the network card they are using, their provider, and any other pertinent information regarding their connections. Once we can define the issue, we would like to contact European providers to address connectivity problems, and we appreciate your cooperation in helping us.

Hey, champ. Square Enix has accepted this PUD (update delay) as a bug on their end, see here: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...s-everybody%29

You can stick your head in the sand all you want because you don't have a problem, but the problem is fairly well-documented in multiple threads and multiple videos. Guess what? It's happening in Japan too, despite having their own data centers.

You haven't looked at this thread, have you? Accepted bugs don't mean they are bugs. Confirmed bugs do.

I ping 94ms from the UK and use a wireless connection.
Lag is very rarely ever an issue with Titan HM, story Titan is a different beast, there's something funky up with those servers, but with Hard Mode I either git gud our git out because lag has never killed me there.

I just did the "esuna test", and yeah. It seems like I'm one of the people who can cast esuna while running forward. While pretty neat, I don't think it is intended.... I really hope they'll answer to this issue rather quickly, since there are already two long topics and one very long topic about this very issue and all the problems it causes. For example avoiding aoe-attacks. (1 sec is pretty unforgiving,,)

I've dodged aoes fine so far in the game and I play with ~260 ms. I find that the breaking point for me is about 320-350+ ms. Then I really have to be clutch with the movement.

[Craiger]

You shouldn't be handicapped only cause you're not from US (or Japan)... I live in Sweden, and at times I will have some delay, which makes it impossible to dodge certain attacks. Even if I run instantly after I see the attack, and are several meters out of range from it, I still get hit.

This doesn't happen very often, but I still have to move instantly after I see the attack. Others who constantly have higher ping then me, would never be able to dodge it....

I haven't had any issues with Titan HM to date. It probably is a mix of using wrong camera settings, not paying attention and having ISP issues.

If I zoom my camera out far enough, it makes it look like you bothered to read any of the thread, maybe the devs are on to something after all.

This is my favorite post of the day, thanks!

Lol.

In before "I make money selling Titan HM runs there is no problem, move along now."

If the game now turns off your monitor before casting WotL, some really good players can still avoid it. That doesn't mean turning off your monitor before a spell that obviously relies on you seeing where it is can be considered an acceptable mechanism.

You can avoid all the stuff on Titan if you're good enough (and easier for certain classes that can be constantly moving). That's not the point. The point is that you're not supposed to have a modern MMORPG where you can't tell if you actually get hit by an AE. In other MMORPGs, you don't have to worry about if the screen is lying to you. In this game, you do.
