Please do something about the Mudra lag!

[Nominous]

What is Mundra lag? Can you please explain how it's lagging?

Mudra (Jin/Chi/Ten) are supposed to all be instant cast, no cooldown abilities. Of course it still needs to activate, so you'll see the Mudra skill icons flash for about 0.5 (or less) seconds. That is how fast Mudra SHOULD combine (a click every time you see the skill icon as available). However, in most scenarios, because of server latency or other similar issues, it is entirely inconsistent in how fast or slow it allows you to click the next Mudra in your combination. Further, any actual server issues or internet problems completely impair your ability to play the Job, due to resetting of Mudra/even more inconsistent timing problems.

Yea seriously I was looking forward to nin since 2.1 when I first saw fuma set in CT. Then I notice the inconsistency with which these mudra activate. Then I notice how everything falls to s**t if I have any internet lag b/c of the way mudra is designed(hitting huton but seeing it not activate while u hit next wpn skill and then get rabbit). Really making me like the class less and less. Mudra feel like a chore rather than a rewarding aspect of the class.

Recently travelled to the US and had a connection of less than 50 ping. My mudra speeds were similar to those I had in Europe.

Seems like the way to do it would be to handle them entirely client-side, then when you activate the whole thing the game sends just the appropriate ability.

I'm in Japan and my latency is sub 50 myself. Pre 2.45 my mudra casts were fluid as can be but when 2.45 came around they went down the drain. Best work around I have at the moment is using wtfast which helps a tiny bit but most times in dungeons there's a distinct delay which is oddly missing for the most part outside of the instanced servers.

The fastest my mudras ever went was in patch 2.4 before the first hotfix. After that it seems to just remain unstable.

This has been a problems for Monks like myself who have attempted to macro every position ability to the same key since launch.

I stopped doing that when I realized it would likely never be fixed.

Wow...just wow.

I like the idea, but i think they should have just let us use them like normal skills or spells. I mean i just got NIN to 40. Just putting in the ones ive unlocked so far is a hit or miss if i put them in too fast.

Yeah, having to wait to see if the mudra registers can slow down my DPs somewhat. Its especially bad in ct/st and to a lesser extent in FL for me

Wow...just wow.

Said the same. e.e
