Red Ring of Death!

[Borfin]

To those claiming there is no issue:

Play another MMO. Play SEVERAL other MMOs. This game isn't "harder". This game isn't "more tightly tuned". You aren't expected to move faster than other MMOs, this is obvious by WHEN the actual attack triggers. There is so much more evidence besides "the attack hit me" to suggest the PCD. There are limits to how quickly the human brain can react.

I reiterate: No other MMO has this problem this severe. And quite frankly, whether you like it or not, this game plays almost EXACTLY like Final Fantasy-themed WoW, SWTOR, WHO, you name it. It was designed to. SE wants a piece of the MMO pie and their last venture (XI) didn't quite do it - so they're using the tried-and-true formula. That's fine. That's expected. That's business. It's the same reason Breath of Fire and other RPGs tried to emulate Final Fantasy originally. It's the same reason Final Fantasy originally used multiple elements from D&D.

They're doing a damn good job of it, too, except for this and few other critical flaws.

The fact that workarounds like casting an instant-cast spell resolve the issue is the BIGGEST piece of evidence to suggest that the problem IS NOT LAG and IS NOT INTENDED.

These are competing games. This is solely a SE design flaw and it WILL lose them subscribers. I'm addicted to this game like no other and it's nearly lost ME.

How are you this willingly blind??
