Ifrits greatest weapon: Animation Lag

[PeaceWalker]

I would love to get a dev response on this one.

In the youtube video they answer like this:
"The hit boxes for the plumes are a little bigger than they look.

You should've moved up a little."

"it is because the explosion is wider than how it looks"

so its not a lag or somethin like it.. only the lalafell in this vid got hit by ifrits attack.
the other people, standing on the right place are safe (between the 3 circles of fire).


i wouldnt say its a lag. its more that the radius of the attack is a little bigger (at some parts) than the animation is.

I am also frustrated about the server lag. Everytime after hellfire there is soo much anamation lagg that the lava pumes im out of it like 100% like 1st post video and i get hit. Since i have all my DOW and DOM all 50 and they and nothing to do but ifrit i quit this game until. How can i fight IFRIT when i cant even do anything with server lagg. SE pls fix this or your gonna lose alot of ppl in the future if futrue raids/instances are like this.

That infamous "animation lag" Yoshi-P likes to reference, here it is working against the player in the most important moments I'm sure everyone that has attempted the fight knows exactly what this feels like.

We'll get you soon enough Ifrit, lawls!

Yeah quite honestly I'm not really into the idea of trying to do this fight right now with the lag. You're just rolling the dice when you do, you may come out lucky, or you may wipe because of too many hits like the one in the video.

Definitely
it has been method too many times before and they haven't fixed yet.

Are you kidding me?

His computer is not lagging, he is not lagging, infact you even see him get out of the circle completely fine and still gets hit

This is just typical SE, it does it all the time because it registered you in the circle. There is no proper "Evasion" in this game, everything is just a list of calculations. The animation pops, it then lists whos in the circles, and then proceeds to do finish animation and damage, by that time you could of run back to friggen Uldah, wouldnt have mattered because you were in the attack list and you get hit.

It happens on every single mob, there are countless videos of the orge's AOE hitting people who ran so far away.

If it was PC lag you'd be seeing Lag, but you're not, you are seeing connection lag, which is typical for SE game.

Happened in XI for years.

I watch people who have 590's and i7's and still get hit. Because unless you're very very quick to beat the connection speed, its already too late.
