A different view of why we complain about lag and "the net code"

[Goreth]

Why do people like OP get to lvl50 and still doesn't understand this? This isn't an action MMORPG. It's suppose to feel more turn base and cast timer dependent in the spirit of Final Fantasy's classic ATB system.

FFXIV is supposed to be turn based? I applaud you for that response, few would dare to make such an audacious claim.

I said "feel" more turn based not supposed to be turn based, but it seems you're just like most people on this forum with terrible reading comprehension.

If this community doesn't wake up and voice their concerns, we'll be in for more problems/trouble as game content continues to progress/elevate in difficulty

It's already this way in Turn 5. I was getting divebombed a couple of nights ago when I was no where near Twintania and she wasn't even facing me to begin with. Needless to say if SE doesn't at least ADMIT that there's a problem I will be inclined toward quitting this game in the next few months.

I have played a few turn based games and none of them involved getting hit by mechanics you were clearly out of or indicators that don't really indicate anything (the issues people are discussing in this thread). So since being akin to turn based and "feel more turn base" mean two very different things in your mind perhaps you would care to elaborate on what exactly it is you meant, you know for those of us with terrible reading comprehension.

Your being a bit harsh and I disagree with you. Let me explain. On AK. The Push Back animation fires off Demon wall .. I see 3 people get knocked back yet I'm still hacking on the Wall.. So i continue and then 5 seconds later while everyone else has reset and moved to the left to dodge the purple floor.. WHOOSH. I get Push Back animation on my character.. well guess what... I'm off center now and yeah.. trying not to fall of the edge. So. this happens 1 out of every 5 AK runs i have. Why ? I think its the Random Servers they use for INSTANCE, not My ISP.

Also, half of the time when this kind of thing happens the rest of the group can actually see it happening. They see the repel cast end then 5 seconds later they see you randomly fly off the edge and are like "wtf."

If it were really ISP/lag issues everyone would just see him get knocked off after the cast ended. That simply isn't what's happening.

I haven't tried Titan HM, but I definitely see this when fighting normal mobs and occasional Mobs in Instances. I am clearly out of the circle, yet get hit anyway. It is clearly broken somehow. I'm sure it's gonna be rough when I try to do those later fights.

I still think it absolutely hilarious that every character, during any raid, runs around like they are MJ moonwalking. OR, fun air yoga poses when doing abilities is also fantastic to watch! Some thing is not right...

The consumer caters to the company when the consumer has to have what the company is selling. And with MMO's that covers enough people to keep the game up for a decade.

Something i wish they'd look into is adapting the HSR (Host State Rewind) that the team over on MechWarrior:Online built. Granted, thats an FPS game, but i feel like the general mechanic there, which literally eliminates Ping as long as its 400~ or lower, starts to get a lil shaky if you get too high over that, but generally works fine up to 500.

Sadly all this is well known in the industry of mmorpg and not implemented in ff14arr
And the most sad thing it that they don't admin, that smth is wrong with their servers (flying bodies, repel working 5 sec later for someone and everyone in party see that and etc).

Blame it on the hackers and cheaters for all these problems.
Without them, developers could have put everything on client side.
