Ifrits greatest weapon: Animation Lag

[ViciousValentine]

Btw its not shown in this video but sometimes when Ifrit does that Void zone WS you can see him "ready" it for 3-4 seconds before the zones appear on the ground. I have a feeling SE thought we'd have more time to avoid them honestly than what the game is giving us.

I get that feeling aswell.

[Isaaru]

oh, thats probably why you haven't noticed the animation lock.

[Lumidus]

Yup! I'm sure everyone has experienced animation lag. It wouldn't be as bad it the actions didn't lock up also. During battle where there's a lot going on I would press a crucial action to save my butt but it doesn't go off. Instead I would get "... can not be used" x6-8. Also when i would try to raise someone, I would either need to put away my weapon or take it out. There seems to be a bug with actions atm and its killing me. Literally

2.0 Should probably fix this if they are planning to implement new servers.

SE add some over here in NA dang it!

Having servers in NA would do absolutely nothing -- They said (yet again) it was basically the current servers themselves that are shoddy, not the location.

It would do something, 300 ms of lag is a pretty big deal in a fast paced fight, and 300 ms is average from the US and EU to Japan but then I've told you this before and you haven't taken it into account.

I just do not understand!! I just cannot avoid the red-colored Ogre's elbow skill attack at all (Into the Dark). I was totally sure I moved away the instant that ogre casts its attack skill. Yet I got hit.
I went Ifrit hunting just now. I cannot "out-run" Ifrit's ground-quake attacks too. My japanese friends were all doing fine, while on the other hand, I kept on dying, rarely I survived. It's humiliating! I will become a burden to my friends if this issue continues. They would definitely dislike me joining their parties if this issue persists!
Please fix it. m(_ _)m

Bumping this because I'm having this problem, too. Even on the eruptions, I can be clearly off the cracked surface and get nailed. In fact, I have to be running at the time the surface cracks in order to avoid it, regardless of how far away I get. At this point, it's almost pointless for me to keep trying this quest. Most of the LS I run with don't have this issue, and the few of us that do are a handicap to the team.

I would seriously like to hear from the dev team on this one.

[Kyri]

I have beat Ifrit many many times(as kyri sagitta), and i will be step in step with our jp mage and die to cracks while she does not. i feel like a weak link to my team and im done trying this because it makes me feel like its my fault when I know clearly it is not. I love SE/ffxiv and I wont quit, ill pay but this depresses me hugely.

Not to bring in something off point but drops too, half the ls members has 3-6 weapons each, I have yet to have gotten one. the drops here are terribly off if i have beaten this 20+times and seen nothing while others in my group only need one more to complete set.

[Resty]

Yes I agree that the Devs not addressing this, or even letting us know that THEY know it's a big problem, is pretty bad.
Is this going to be another Darkhold deal, where they fix with the next big patch, after which no one is going to care about the fight anymore anyway?
