150+ latencyand COB boss fights.

[Zinkaiser]

Hi guys,

I would like this message to reach the developers in hope that they would understand that not all players have a latency under 60. With this in mind, avoiding some really easy-to-avoid abilities like "repelling cannons" becomes really annoying, you literally have to dodge before the boss even casts or at the exact time the boss casts the ability or it's a hit, and i have a ping of 110-120.

The problem is for those who suffer no high latency due to them being in the country where the server resides or even close to the server, the solution would cause the game to be unchallenging.

The idea is simple, increase the casting time by a quarter (0.25) second, this will enable higher latency players to manage avoiding these abilities. The reason given is that MOST players are not in either Japan or America or even Europe. There are loads of Asians, Middle Eastern and African players who do not get the chance to see end game content or even advance in it due to these problems

You need to try to stand at maximum possible melee range. As a tank this is a bit more tricky as you don't want to move the boss. ADS has quite a large hitbox compared to it's model. I'm running with around 130 average ping and haven't had any problems dodging the repelling cannons unless I fail or stand too close to ADS.

This except Im @ 200-300 and also learn the rotation everything is predictable.

playing with ~200ms every boss is fine, stop with the excuses.

Cleared Twintania fine with 100ms+. Aussies in our FC have minimum 160-200ms ping WITH latency reduction programmes like battleping/wtfast etc. Heck, even BG cleared pre-nerf Twintania with an Australian on 200ms+ ping, so not sure what you are going on about here.

Since your ping is similar to mine, and you are also playing on a JP server, I'm going to assume you're within the SEA region (I'm from Singapore). Disregarding Twintania, T1-T4 isn't even that hard with really shitty ping (I'm talking 200-300ms here). You should be glad you're on 110-120ms ping, many other people don't even have such luxuries.

My only advice is to master the skill rotation of bosses (ADS in particular) so that you can pre-emptively move on repelling cannons and still be in time to silence ADS (unless you have 2 bards in your group).

Also, this is pretty good advice too:

this, I play at 280ms. I think it's very hard to dodge even if you have good ping when you fight close to it.

Nvm...specifically on COB.

Only at around 200 and plus that you have to move preemptively to dodge.
