    I may not be the most friendly person in the thread, but in my own cranky way I am trying to help this guy.
    I just need the right information so that I can help looking.
    Yes, I am snarky, I work in IT, it's part of the job so forgive me for that.

    While I can overlook the "Haha, you suck!" replies, telling people that they deserve to die is something that makes me want to punch you in the face.

    No need to hide behind excuses: you need some skill. Maybe go find some.

    Now, I have a lot of sympathy for those with the problem OP raises. I suffered from it myself. I managed to beat Titan before tweaking my own settings by purely knowing his rotations and moving before plumes appeared. No amount of skill could compensate for the crippling lag in that fight.

    After tweaking my settings, I'm fine. I don't get hit by avoidable stuff unless I wasn't even expecting it to appear (say, standing in the wrong place for Ultima Ex). Should I have to tweak those settings? No. Have I needed to do this for any other online game? No. Would I pay extra for tunneling/VPN? Not a chance in hell, I'd pick another game first.

    However, those tweaks did work for me, and I can play this game.

    Try doing focus target and move out of it before cast time finishes? I think that's just how the mechanics work. You seemed to still be there when his cast finished from what I've seen. I probably know cause I've finished them..

    Just to add my 2 cents...

    Living in Hong Kong (all the way over the ocean), and i have no problems dodging titan AoEs. In fact in your video you are reacting way to slow. Landslide you can already see happening when he is turning, no need to wait for the AoE animation. With the plums i would have been almost half a second faster too. Stop blaming connections and learn how to react properly.

    OP says nothing was done to fix the netcode.

    A few weeks ago I opened this thread.

    You start casting Physick then start moving when the cast is at 1.70 seconds left, and the cast still finishes.

    That means you have a 1.7 second delay which can only be caused by horrible ISP, horrible wireless, or your internet getting D/Ced. Square has nothing to do with this problem.

    If I'm casting Physick and start moving as late as .3 seconds left on the cast and it will still get interrupted before it finishes casting, and I'm in Europe which is about the worst possible place to be in terms of lag.

    Don't blame Square for issues that are caused by yourself.

    This is honestly why my main is now a tank. This happened to my Dragoon all the time and he didn't have the defense/HP to withstand it. I was so sick of dying so much that I started a Warrior. Now, for whatever reason, I don't get hit hardly ever, and when I do, I can take it.

    There are a lot of issues in this game where you can be the QQ or white Knight. Their net code is just plain laziness and being cheap that's all period. If even 1/4 of your player base is experiencing this, good customer service and overall product quality assurance means you fix it. But seeing square refuses to and blames it on countless other things proves further that they are not providing a quality experience. A excuse is a lazy man's way to say you don't want to fix it.

    Pretty much have to agree with what Aegis said. There are workarounds and things you can do to compensate as a player, which a lot of us have figured out how to do in order to keep playing the game, and can share with each other to help make it more playable for everyone.

    However, this doesn't make the way the game works acceptable or good by any stretch of the imagination. And it definitely doesn't make it people's ISPs' "fault" when it's only an issue for FFXIV and nothing else. People saying otherwise also need to remember that this game is available on PS3 and will be available on PS4, and there's much less you can do to fix problems there. A well-coded game compensates for most of these differences in connections, and doesn't result in nearly as many people having problems as there are playing FFXIV.
