    Server lag is server lag. Connection lag is connection lag. No one even in second coil parties care because they can see you're disconnecting and teleporting around. Just leave the party and wait until your connection isn't so iffy. No one will judge you for that.

    As for divebombs, increasing timers won't change that some people are bad with divebombs because they tunnel vision the snakes and don't pay attention to the field itself anymore.

    The markers are there, the Twintania Focus Target meter comes back, everything there to show you to move. If you can't move in time (which even a PS3 user has no issues doing) then you have a 50/50 chance of being blown out into the arena.

    Even if you get thrown out there, you can still survive if you know what to do (i.e asking others or looking up what to do).

    Edit:
    Also, if you can't get the Divebomb timers from T5 as is, you'll most likely have trouble with half of second coil. The main big thing sticking out for me being the Nael meteor drops. They are just as quick to screw up as divebombs.

    Your argument is irrelevant , clearly you don't play from a ociana point of view otherwise you would realise lag can not be fixed
    Also increasing timer will increase pass rate if people have more time to react
    Yes there are some that don't figure out mechanics quicker then others , tho those who do and struggle with server lag or are a bit slower to react will have better odds at success
    Also they could apply this to second coil later on once the content is outdated or push players on to further content once new content is released

    My argument was technically protecting you. It's lag and people tend to either deal with it by kicking someone or trudging through with them or the player leaving. That is the same with everyone regardless of perma-lag or whatever.

    No. My PLD ALWAYS does a call macro for Twintania's divebombs that counts down. From 40 seconds to 5 seconds all with calls. People still get hit. They are ready, they are counting, they can hear the calls. They still get hit. To me, this is tunnel vision on what they are doing or just unable to pay attention. If you can't see it or hear it, turn all the sound down except for sound effects and disable all nameplates and character effects. I did this when I was doing my first clear. It cleared up the screen to have me be able to see.
    If you still cannot move in time, then you have problems.

    No. Just no. I had a friend last night who can do any role in Twintania and can normally 1/1 it. He had lag last night. Bad lag. Like wiping us 5 times with his lag. He was perfectly capable and fine for Divebombs BUT terrible for twisters. Server lag with delayed timing on divebombs does not give you any more time to react. You need to know it.

    And if you can't do the divebombs cause of server lag, you'll have troubles with the LOS method on T6 and the timing for the acid rain fall. Me dying to acid rain two times because of lag forced me to leave a party because I was such a hindrance to them.
