Thank you very much for increasing the delay between his abilities!

Still happening... 2 seconds out of cracks erupts and Boom. Btw thinking of removing the animation lock for archers standards attacks so we can take part in this? No other class has lock for regular attacks....

Hope this gets fixed soon, pretty annoying to be safe on your screen and blow up anyway. Repeatedly. For an hour.

I'm playing from Norway, and whenever i hang out with my US friends, there is a delay of 1 second. Lets say i run in front of the group and we do a chocoborace. On my screen i'm the first in front of the pack when in fact they tell me i'm 3rd, 4th or even 5th. When i fought Ifrit yesterday I died 4 times in a single fight as a MRD because of this delay problem. I were miles away from the eruption and lava, but i still got killed. Ifrit's animation had the same delay, so i pretty much have to predict what he does well over a second before something happens. Luckily we made it since i was the only one from a far away country, my other friends from US saved the day. It seems the sync of servers are way off.. i sense it everywhere and not just in the big fights. As someone said earlier, it is more noticeable when fighting Ifrit Ogre or Moogle since the actions you do pays more consequence. This is exactly the same problem i had when i played XI and it needs to get adressed ASAP. It could very well be a reason for alot of people leaving the game, and that makes me sad. I love the game SE made, iv'e been here since the very start of alpha and i still want to stay. But please adress this issue SE as "Very important".

Can we please get an update on this? Both plumes and eruptions still are treated as a hit when well outside of their animations.

Mages are in the same position as you. "But wait," I hear you cry, "Mages don't lock for their regular (auto) attacks." And neither do Archers. You have an auto attack that you don't lock for--you punch the target. This gets used in a party about as often as a mage's auto attack.

This has been a problem for my partner and I in Australia for months and months. Still a problem when not using Battleping.

I made a lengthy post about this here: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...l=1#post628373

SE - why should my partner and I have to pay TWO ADDITIONAL MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION FEES TO A THIRD PARTY to even play this game comfortably?

My network delay is absolutely horrible too - makes the game unplayable.
When I enter any of the 3 city-states (Gridania, for example), not only network lag increases, but graphics lag too. As a matter of fact, it is so intense, that my character sometimes disappears from the screen and the game sometimes freezes for 5-10 seconds, which is unbelievably annoying.

I'm playing from Hungary, and I have a 5Mbps network connection, so that should not be the problem. It is not my hardware specs either, I have a four-core phenom2 CPU and a decent GPU too. I also tried lowering graphics settings, I even switched to a 1024x768 screen and lowest settings, and still the same issue - unplayable in Gridania, and quite laggy everywhere else too. Characters and NPCs download with an about 10-20 seconds delay, and fighting actions are also started with this delay
- if anybody knows any solution, please tell me, because this lagg entirely kills the joy in this game :/

Also, sorry for my bad english.
