"I Was Out of That!" (Some Life Lessons)

[CYoung187]

The "I was out of that!" I think is less of an excuse and more of a complaint against the software not recognizing player movement in the expected manner. Fights like Titan Ex are not tolerant of lag.

One trick that a FC mate taught me - and this goes along with your "growth" mindset - is that if you make a sharp right angle and run parallel to the landslide or WotL immediately after exiting the ground AOE area, it forces the server to update your position faster than if you keep running in a straight line. I don't know whether it's true or not, but I do know that if I have that half second to make the sharp turn, that meant I exited fast enough to escape the ground AOE.

Another tip is to perform some sort of action as you exit. As a dragoon the first thing I do after getting out of a weight or landslide is throw my spear. Then the server has to log that action and position.
