Red Ring of Death!

That's the entire point of this thread. That gif, like mine, is in the overworld. That person has a connection issue.

I really have to wonder how you guys can look at gifs like this, and be like RAWR SEE TOLD YOU, and yet see the gifs at the start of this thread, and for some reason think it's voodoo magic or something.

It's not voodoo magic of course. The premise of your thread however puts the entire blame on a person's connection, a connection that let's the player function perfectly fine in other MMOs and FPS games.

Just because you can play another game without "any" latency means absolutely nothing. I can't tell you how many times I've seen people complain about lag or latency in a specific game, and say they have no issues with anything else. But there is almost always something wrong. Which is why your ISP is the best thing to call and troubleshoot.

Then can you tell me why on my same PC that I play FFXIV and WoW on when I start a cast, in WoW if I move it stops the second I move. Where in FFXIV it pretty much goes through the whole cast before it interrupts my casting and I'm stuck unable to cast anything else til that has finished?

I play from China. I expect lag just plan and simple. I have about 200-250ms on my WoW server, I have about 200-275ms on my FFXIV server. Yet I have such delay's that get increasingly frustrating when I move even when I anticipate their abilities and I still get hit. Sometimes I don't even see the zone drop down and his abilities goes off. One might put that up as lag but not when I'm using my abilities and his HP is dropping when all of a sudden he does his ability and I take damage from it and never once did I see the red zone pop up or his casting/wind up animation.

Now that doesn't happen all the time only a couple of times but that shows there is a communication issue between server/client that needs to be addressed. I love this game but it is a new game and there still is some kinks that need to be worked out.

To blindly turn away from the issues when you have no problem from it shows your complete ignorance.

Actually, the "point" is that this doesn't happen in any other MMO out there, to include games with far better graphics. This latency issue is the fault of a poorly made game.
