Failure of Battle Regimen in Crowded, Laggy Areas

[Rentahamster]

Whenever I am in a very crowded area (for example, doing Broken Water leves at peak times), and my party stacks a battle regimen, oftentimes it will fail to activate, and we are all just stuck in BR mode waiting. This has lead to so many deaths, that we no longer even attempt to bother with BR in crowded areas.

This is not a problem in areas in which we are the only players present.

Greetings again, Rentahamster!
Thank you for your patience while waiting for a response to your report. After thoroughly investigating your concerns with Battle Regimens, the development team determined that latency was the main factor contributing to the situation, which means that this was not a direct result of problems caused by the game itself. If you would like to receive advice regarding ways to reduce latency in these high-traffic situation, I recommend either contacting the SQUARE ENIX Support Center via http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com/ under "Support Center">"Contact", or you may start a thread about this matter under the "Technical Support" forum of this site. Thanks again for your patience, and I wish you the best of luck with resolving this matter soon!
