IS THIS A JOKE?! NOTHING was done to fix the netcode.

I will be sure to remind the EU players in my FC that they're not clearing primals and only imagined their victories.

Basically this. Are EU's at a disadvantage? Yup. Is it game breaking? Nup. I'm kinda sick of hearing all the excuse tbh, people moaning in chat "I WAS OUT OF IT" like 50 times... That's cool, but you died. So rather than moaning in chat (or on the forums) count your losses, move on, get better.

Many of my friends have problems with lags. I have ping 160-170 and I have no problem with running out from plumes. The main problem of lags is BAD ROUTE to the server. For example you live in Germany, but your connection isnt going direct to Canada, but going through Spain, Brazil and only then to Canada. It is provider problem. One of the best advice here- use good proxy (vpn) to make your route connection much more direct to servers. WTFAST- is a good program for this. It has 1 month trial. And dont forget to make a tracing of your connection till the servers- you will know exactly where do you have connection, packets and ping loss (on the territory of some countries, i guess). Good luck

From what I see is: You started twice a cast after his AoE. That way you are locked in a small cast delay on the server, it updates your position and then you have full wait time + lag untill it recognize that you are "beginning" to run! Try to wait untill your enemy moves before you start any cast. Thats not some sort of Netcode, but one of those things that adds delay, which makes the fight with higer lag pure frustration. Indeed SE have not done much yet to solve this problem, but let them do it step by step! To have now position updates each 0.1s instead of 0.3s helps a lot (also the other changes), but its not the only problem we had with "delay-stuck" previously in 2.0

Well, duh. They're wrong on those ones. And if SE thinks people will continue to pay for this game if nothing is fixed, they're wrong yet again.

This has yet to be seen. If enough people continue to pay, then they'll be right.

I understand that in some areas, with some ISP's, on some systems, for some people, the game can be practically unplayable. But unless SE has proof that those some's justify the likely large system overhaul to change what's needed to fix it for those people, nothing's going to change.

And, unfortunately for those in the situation, ARR will be just fine this way.

Perhaps you missed the sarcasm, but you are right.

I know I am blessed with an internet connection that takes 2 hops from my own router in to the Ams-IX Aorta which goes directly to the first checkpoint in the US which takes another 4 steps to get to the datacenter.
And all that at an extremely fast ping.

Yes, I know I am a very rare case here but that doesn't change the fact that the OP is yet another person blaming SE for something his or her own ISP is to blame for.

SE never said that they are repairing the netcode.
They changed the server structure.

I live in Canada -- incredibly close to the data centers.

I have the best Internet available in my area.

EVERY single other online game I play plays without any lag.

I find it hilarious that you think this is my ISP's fault.

They said they will change from 0.3 position update to 0.1 or something. This is a part of the "netcode." And, after my experiences this was not done.

[Shirai]

Have you ever traced the route your ISP takes to the datacenters?
Come back when you have ruled out that part, then we may be able to discuss a local problem?

As said earlier there's a huge swimming pool between myself and the datacenter, unless I derp myself and I can dodge 95% of the things just fine and so do a lot of people in my FC, which are mostly EU players.
I don't use a VPN, and many of them don't use one either, those that do know it's a problem with their ISP.

They changed the delay between position checks from 0.3 to 0.1 in certain Trials and Raids. I've noted a marked improvement in avoiding Bombs, Weights and Slides in Titan, and i can even dance with Caduceus' tail and not get hit. Couldn't do that before the patch. And i live in Australia too.
