Now that we're discussing the inconvenience of the NA maintenance time, I wanted to bring up an issue thats been really bothering me.

I haven't played FF11 but people have told me that the same issue ocurred there as well..


Anyways,
If anyone has ever done gathering / crafting next to a JP player, try and notice that they speed through their synths and gathers much faster than the rest of us. (due to latency)

Also if anyone has been doing CC or AV. While it is definitely possible for us to do speed runs, it's much much easier for JP's because the previous stated above issue carries over to combat as well.

These AV videos sort of show how ridiculous the cumulative advantages add up to. I haven't seen a NA video showing 16 minute AV yet so maybe I'm wrong in this. But definitely because JP's can craft and gather faster, they have better gear, more materia, more double and triple melds etc etc.


While I'm sure this will eventually be fixed in 2.0, I think we should get some sort of a temporary solution right now. Maybe even a handicap to make up for all of the latency for all NON-jp players.


Thoughts?


*If you don't know what Im talking about, next time try and find a jp player and craft/gather next to them and you'll see what I mean, no matter how fast you push the button you can't catch up to them.

**pay attention to how much faster they go through their combo cycles.

16min AV run btw
