The JP button

[Norack]

Is failing, lagging, sucking out loud, or bein rude 24/7 refered to as the NAButton? If not: Petition to start that trend!

I approve of this ^.^ XD

..........Wait a minute if i approve of this im admitting that i suck?! i freaking hate u Peptaru -.-

[Peptaru]

I'm NA, too and I'm still in favor of it!

Haven't got all 5 chest. Have Got 25 min AV down. Thank you very much.

Also, You've yet to do AV speed run yourself. . .

Maybe you should look closer, junior.

Also that isn't mastering.

yeah, that easily makes sense...
If each command is a half second faster, then 120 actions would save 1 minute. Lets say it's slightly less for simplicity and go 100 actions per minute. One craft at spam craft (again for simplicity just hitting enter button rather than for exp bonus) might require 10 inputs per 300exp, at least in my experience... 300x300 = 90,000exp, .. and 300 synths with 10 inputs is 3,000 inputs at 1 minute per 100 = 30 minutes faster for the Japanese per level of high level crafting. even in the 30's this would still equate to 20 minutes. 30 minutes x 10 levels = 5 hours + 20 minutes x 10 levels = 3 hoursish = 8 hours per craft levels 30 to 50.

Across all crafts to 50 this would then mean we are spending an extra 60 hours give or take in lag over the japanese.
That does not include gathering and battle classes.

0.4 seconds may not seem like much, but it adds up.

Another poster on these boards made a very good observation last week, saying that if there is no local server set up for players outside japan, this game will never really succeed no matter how good 2.0 is outside of japan. Those tenths of a second crush a game.

Excuse me. XIVpads didn't show it as you completed after I updated you. Good show on completion on lodestone.

i understand what your talking about, though, many of the japanese have the same problems, so being japanese is not it (yeah, i tried what you said, i was speedier than him actually, i was turbocrafting using my controller. Maybe they do so too?)

I tried that and was getting beaten out. You can't input anything until the server gives you permission to do so.

you can queue your actions in battle

At the moment you can't queue something waiting to get back to you, it's faded. This works two ways, though, there and back, so you're waiting on more than just the server.

Taei... Unless SE stops being so strict I really don't think there's much that can be done about all this. Everything is so server-side as a cheating countermeasure and very few improvements can be made without making things function client-side.

Available HP/MP/TP to cover action costs, evades/blocks/parries/misses to perform special actions, actions landed and from proper positions to enable combos and void TP costs, lack of ailments that would prevent actions from being performed, animations and their locks being managed by the server after everything checks out, etc. They all add up, and it results in many Japanese being falsely lauded as skilled players. And that's just the combat aspect!

I believe there was mention of regional servers, and if that happens it will help with these latency issues. I sure don't plan on opting into that, though, if it's irreversible. Like I told you earlier, I actually wish to live in Japan someday.

Therefore, since those moderators are always combing over the forums, please note this: If regional servers come out I would like to be able to perform transfers between them at any given time. Thanks!

That's some pretty bad ass speed there dude, how ever just a little friendly tip, unless you do a crap load of networking for your job, or get a hell of a deal on your internet speed you are wasting a crap load of money for nothing. I mean right now im paying 15Mbbs and im just gonna assume your paying for 100? and when I connect to SE's server im gonna get the exact same throughput as you.

I work with Cisco equipment, my internet is complimentary lol

On topic though, I sincerely hope Square-Enix can properly address these lag issues.

[Searious]

I've been in japan for the last 6 months now.. I really haven't noticed any less lag playing here than when I was in America. I'm pretty sad there's still lag.

Valentia, the point that's being made is that the person arguing, hasn't done any content, nor lvl'd a class to actually make a counter-claim to Taei's. There is not E-Peen / Superiority to it. You can't talk like you know what you're talking about when you haven't done the content, nor gone through the motions of crafting / gathering...

Actually i have he just but hurt that's all.
