Thread name: Rolling Tankard's 'Cannonfire' action does not cause the explosion effect on NPCs
Date of issue: August 28, 2020
Time of issue: 8:53pm AEST
Frequency: Always
World name: Zodiark
Character name: Z'aed Tia@Zodiark
Retainer name: N/A
NPC name: Mizutt
Monster name: N/A
Class/level: Alchemist/80
Party or solo: Solo
Race: Miqo'te male
In-game time: 21:35
Area and coordinates: Lakeland (X:9.4,Y:13)
Housing: N/A
Steps:

1. I mounted the 'Rolling Tankard'
2. While facing directly at the NPC 'Mizutt' I activated the Rolling Tankard's 'Cannonfire' ability
3. The expected explosion effect was not displayed on the NPC Mizutt
4. I have repeatedly tested the 'Cannonfire' ability on many NPCs in various zones, none have displayed the expected explosion effect.

Additional Information

1. I can see the explosion effect when other players use the 'Cannonfire' ability on NPCs, the explosion is only absent when I use the ability.
2. Anecdotally, others reporting the same issue on the FFXIV subreddit seem to be located far from the data center that they play on, so latency may be a factor in triggering the bug. I am located in Australia and play on an EU datacentre.
