Ifrit Extreme Issue

[prymortal]

Eruptions are laggy??? Bugged?? to the point they cant be avoided.
You can run a mile off them & still get hit by them a few seconds later YES SECONDS Later which means its not likely connection as you can time the delay from computer to server to find out your delay/lagg & its 0.7 seconds good day, 1.2 bad day (you can also ping test or in game test both give the same results & these are Eruptions hitting myself & 1 others at 2 to 3 seconds AFTER that 1.2 seconds i watch for. so 3 to 4 seconds total usually.

My first thought was eaither the dev team made a mistake or they cranked up the time it takes for them to explode thinking that only people close to the data centres on NA & JP play on them, Because lets face it, It Wouldn't Be The First Time Would It!(1.0 IFrit HM, 1.0 Ifrit EM, 2.0 Titan e.t.c.).
But that doesnt quite make sence with whats happening even tho its possible as experiance has shown.

Titan HM & EM mode are easy to do as long as you dont run into someone elses plume or get cage stacked in the middle by party members & thats the fight with the most delay/lagg & when u get hit its very quick to let you know Unlike IFrit EM Eruptions. So safe to say everythings working as expected.
This also helps rules out extreme Lagg as an issue.

Ifrit Radiant Plumes no issues, Its fast cast but doesnt hit you when your off it like the Eruptions. Does hit if ur on the edge of it, so working as intended.

So its safe to assume somethings amiss with Ifrit EM. No clue whats causing it for just the eruptions tho?!?!!

Yes this has happened on More multipul runs

Just got Battleping, set it up properly & used a tunnel to lower ping/connection &...... No difference.

Have you read the first (sticky) post in this forum to see how you should report a bug?

And no, I personally have never experienced the bug you mentioned, and neither have my friends or the FC members I have run this fight with, unless our connection is messed up. Your connection may hiccup from time to time which means you may have thought you ran out of Eruptions, when you did not - happened to a few of my friends when their housemates decided to start their torrents and they suddenly got the "dc" icon for a few secs, before finally returned to the game. They did not think that they lagged, but the fact was that their character was just standing there for a few secs, eating plumes / eruptions / slides.

i noticed 2 other players with this issue on those days (probably others but i wasnt really looking), When i talked to them they claimed theres was lagg, but as i tested my issue which clearly was the same issue of high delay & getting hit by a phase that had already passed it was very safe to say theres wasnt lagg eaither, they just assumed it was.

Today tho however Zero issues at all, even got the win, got hit once which was my own fault.... So no idea what caused it for those days.

I've not updated anything on my PC & theres been no maintance on the server any time during this period. So i'm hopeing is was a ISP/DSN issue? even tho thats doesnt explain why it affected other players. Will update if it happens again.
