Why I stopped paying for FFXIV

[razzgrizz3]

maybe hes posting because he wants se to know why they are losing subs? can you get that through your thick skulls for once?
you dont care? fine then dont post.

maybe when they start to wonder where all the players are going and are forced to do free weekends and other promotions BARELY 4 months into the life cycle of the their game. maybe just maybe they will see these topics and fix their stuff. one can hope

if everybody stays quiet nothing will ever get fixed. but perhaps this is what you people want? perhaps everything is fine on the titanic no need to worry

And the most annoying thing is that latency is worse when I'm in HMs for some reason. Needless to say, any further progression, such as getting my relic, for example, is just not possible for me. To make the matter even more obvious I got into playing the beta of another Japanese MMO, which is f2p btw, and I can dodge stuff there just fine!

This whole section just reeks of "i'm bad" and "other games aren't as challenging so I'm going to play those." Short of the most crazy insane latency (e.g. 10+ second lag spikes) titan can be totally beaten by anyone capable of learning the fight. He does the same things in the same amount of time in the same order EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. It is a 100% scripted battle. You can anticipate things you need to dodge.

Ancedotal evidence like "i played this other game and I can win!" creates an illusion of one thing being broken and the other not. As I said before, you can probably dodge in the other game just because they make it easier on you (e.g. timing is more loose, etc). I've played few MMOs where dodging is such an important skill.

I had a friend on my server who played from Australia, halfway across the world, and she was able to dodge at Titan and BcoB just fine. From halfway across the world with at least a 250+ ping. It is not SE's servers that are the cause of your lag if it even exists at all. I could probably come over to your house and beat him on your computer for you just fine.

Actually, it's a "why I stopped paying", not a "why I quit" post. Just saying


Congratulations, Alhanelem!
I was curious to see how many posts until someone would come and make a comment about being bad, which seem to be the rule whenever the delay problem is mentionned here. Really, we probably all suffer from collective hallucinations/are compulsive liars.

It's not just in primals, it's everywhere in the game.

I knew it would come too

Not all of us can play like this person... if I did it like him, I'd be dead on the first Landslide. I have to be on the move before the marker even appears

It's the same for me. That's how I beat normal mode Titan I just stayed on the move the whole time and prayed that he doesn't cast it on me while I stop to cast heals. It was doable but took many attempts and wasn't enjoyable either. I don't feel like it's fun when other players can dodge it just fine and I have to always anticipate stuff ahead of time, be always on the move and pray he doesn't cast stuff on me while I stop to cast a heal on a tank.

I like this video because even with their great ping a DPS dies to plumes before heart, and a healer after.

According to the forums they should of all jumped off the side there and called it and raged on the forums about how perfect you need to be, but they downed it. hmmm.

I like how he gets away with jumping (adds about 5 mins in). Pretty sure it's common knowledge location checks aren't very compatible with jumping (http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...stments-to-PvP), yet this guy casually jumps out of plumes. What I wouldn't give...



P.S -- EvokerKeii, thank you

Well, jumping isn't supposed to help you avoid attacks in the first place, and it also makes you move slower in the forward direction. It shouldn't take a genius to see that if you jump you're actually more likely to get hit.

oh, dont you know? we are all actually bad at this game, because the mechanics are so complex and that a normal human being like us can never understand!

/sarcasam off

love those people that think they're "so good" at this game cause they can beat things. Everyone can beat titan HM without lag. He isn't hard. The ONLY reason to die there is lag.

If you need to start running before the attack actually happens or the markings appear - that doesn't make you "moar sk1lledz" it just means you lag.

Yes, I am bad, I'm sorry, I don't have 5 gold medals under my name. I will never have superhuman reflexes and a top notch connection/system. I will never get to have a go at bads on the forums telling them just how bad they are and how good I am and how I could come to their house to beat the encounter for them.
