Bad ping/latency/lag problems

[Alcide]

That going to happen the severs are in Japan even in FFXI i had this issue with me and my gf playing that noting to worry about.

This is FFXI/FFXIV it's not wow or fast step game that you need low ping like wow you need low ping for PVP and such but not really needed for FFXI/FFXIV type battle system.

i still want them to fix the lag issue tho lol

Have you ever tried an Ogre fight as a melee?
Ideally it should be really easy to do, every AoE has a quite long cast time and different casting animations, so you should be able to avoid/stun all of them, but everytime I try to do it I still get hit because of latency, and I react as soon as I see the mob casting on my screan.

They're clearely going for a dynamical type of battle, but at the current state it's already a fail, since you can't react when you see a skill coming, you just have to guess when it's coming and hope you're doing the right thing...

And that's why everybody hates melees right now

You forgot that the main issue is not seeing everyone else moving 3 seconds later, but getting hit when you could've avoided if it weren't for the lag.

Seems like most people here are missing the point of this thread...

I believe there is a 'lag' between other people around you by design. I say this because...

Replying to something that someone else said in the thread, possibly mistaking lag for something that is done on purpose; I thought this was relevant.

It becomes a problem though, when people are mentioning lag between themselves and the servers....

This is also on topic.

Either way if SE can improve latency problems if people are having them, it's worth doing right?

and here I am supporting your cause. Not sure what your problem is???
