Fix instant abilities

[Krystalynn]

It's a bullshit mechanic and the fact people are so ready to defend it in this thread must be some kind of mind control, or an easy demonstration of the effects of GMOs on the brain. This needs to be fixed, it's ridiculous.

If the client said success, and the server said fail, then my client should be corrected. Basic freaking redundancy verification Square-Enix. It's almost like they're five years behind everything else in the MMO market. Korea pumps out games with quality international level netcode on a weekly basis, yet here we are dealing with this garbage... it's out of control.

Scarlet Blade, a game about flying tits with swords has better netcode than this crap. A free mmo like Dragon Nest can have players jumping off walls, knocking down, teleporting and pulling players in action packed pvp with perfect position detection and attack timing so that you can do fighting game-like 20+ hit combos but noooot here.

Can't even handle error-checking on a single instant ability.

This is precisely my point. Go play ANY OTHER MMO that's not this one and instant abilities are just that. Instant.

And if my client say I have billion of gil and one of those house, I should have them
This game is not very good latency wise but people's "solutions" will always make me crack a smile.

Um, you apparently don't understand what you highlighted. In the example you gave, if your client said you had a billion gil but the server said "uh, no you don't", it should then revert your gil to the amount you actually have. So, for the purpose of this argument, if I pop Hallowed Ground and I die while it's applied, the affect was "never applied" server side so it should revert the CD to it's original state. However, as it stands currently, CDs are consumed and GG.

It's not because the client or the server is right or wrong, it's because the ability and the cooldown should be tied together, like when you are transferring money to another person. If there is an error, the credit and debit should both be accepted or refused.

Is this a copy and paste you have saved? No one is really defending it at all in this thread prior to your post(One person ... maybe). Why do MMO players love spewing hyperbole so much?

[avecha]

Is that the same as my Sprint, Swiftcast and Transpose going off but not actually doing anything?

[NeroMD]

This applies to most abilities, not just the instant ones. Stoneskin doesn't come into effect right away when you cast it for example.

[indira]

the skill works but nothing happens is fail. even sprint does this.

[Velev]

I've hit swiftcast many times followed by an ability, only to find that the first ability right after is sometimes totally bypassed as if it was never used. This has happened to me a few times during crucial moments in a fight.
So it misses the first ability right after it and switcast gets then used the moment you hit your SECOND ability.

Please fix this SE.

Thank you!
