An open letter to the creator of the primal battles.

[Griss]

Well seeing how i just spent the afternoon losing to ifrit.

I thought i would voice my opinion on something while the rage is still in a nice tempered state. Not so much about that fight but geared more twards the upcoming moogle battle and all big fights past that point.

In the form of a statement directed at the evil genius behind these fights.

Hello, I'm sorry but i don't know your name.

I would like to start out by thanking you for the fun and even some of the frustration your recent work on the hard mode Ifrit battle brought. But me and you, we need to have a little chat. First off i want to say i know none of this is your fault. you are just doing your job trying to make us happy, and that's cool.

But the next time you dish out some really hard stuff for us could you please keep in mind that there are pretty massive issues with latency and the servers updating the position of characters vs the monsters?

I want to show you what some of us are up against.



I know the ifrit fight inside and out, yet i have never fished this fight standing. Due to the simple fact of whats shown in the above screen shot. It becomes beyond frustrating and i have just given up trying.

I really look forward to experiencing your work in the moogle battle. But i do have to say if it's main form of difficulty is dodging damage zones such as in the ifrit battle I'm going to have to pass. We players are facing some harsh challenges simply from the latency. Please keep that in mind while you are formulating your next fight. At least until the problems were facing are brought down to something reasonable.

Thank you for your time.

Before some one asks in the picture i started running backwards the second Ifrit pooped out the web of doom. I was half way across the area when i was hit. According to the others in the party my character was standing in the big middle of it like a goofus the whole time. I know this is nothing new, every body is dealing with it in some shape or form.

I just wanted to post a thread about them toning down some of the stuff that is causing us big problems untill the new magic server structure comes and solves the issues.
