Too much memorization, not enough RNG on raid fights

[Arngrim_Greyashe]

Yeah. During this final tier on normal mode I think the most times I wiped were on the 2nd boss. Maybe 3-4. Don't think I wiped on the first boss or the 3rd, and it only took 2 attempts with a mostly green group to clear the final boss. Definitely the easiest tier so far, at least on normal.

I had a party wipe a couple times on the third while learning the knock back, but other than that I had no wipes the whole way through, on day one. I agree, it's definitely easy and I don't understand threads like this where people just go "It's hard! Change it!" *stomps feet*.

But this effects the MAJORITY of people in NA.

Not true at all.

[Xatsh]

Not true at all.

No it is 100% true. Ask around to anyone who has been doing endgame since the start of this game about issue of getting hit outside aoe in this game.

So you and anyone else who claims other wise are 100% wrong.

Most people getting hit "outside" aoes don't get hit because server tick said so but because they moved out too late.
It's the castbar, wether visible or not, that determines wether your position gets registered as inside or not. Which is something that frequently gets 'abused' like on e4s during fast pattern when you moved into the bombs when the animation wasn't even finished or during e8s when the 2nd knockback mirror registered Surecast/ Arm's Lengths as still being up even though the animation and actual knockback came way after it ran out.
Corpses outside the actual aoe range is due to someone moving too late not due to server ticks.

While there have been issues with ARR Titan due to server location that was many, many years ago. They admitted it, they changed the server location and it was a lot better after that. If people still get hit nowadays it's because they greeded and moved too late, wether EU, US or JP.

It would make things a lot more interesting, not to mention more fun... at least... for me.

Adding layers of RNG is kind of a double-edged sword. Adding it to a fight can accidentally make it boring/repetitive i.e. Shiva (Unreal) using Staff Form exclusively in the second phase and never touching Sword Form. The devs have actually been pretty good with carefully adding in more RNG into the fights recently, though it's more noticeable in Savage mode. I think they've got a decent balance so far.

So you and anyone else who claims other wise are 100% wrong.

Don't think it has anything to do with server ticks or latency, and more so having the connection to the servers getting interrupted while attempting to dodge (e.g. packet loss). I've a friend that plays on NA from Asia, and although he's constantly lagging, his connection is pretty stable and he says he doesn't have much problem with dodging things. In the rare occasion he does get server ticked, we actually can see it happen live because either he's just teleporting all over the place or the knockback mechanic doesn't even push him until much much later lol.

I live on the east coast. The servers are on the west coast. I ran and cleared titan unreal with no problems whatsoever this week. That fight is infamous for "server tick" and "lag" problems.

Yes...back when EU and NA servers were located in Canada and had 300+ms ping, please tell me more about how a problem doesn't exist because you haven't encountered it yet.

We can bat this back and forth all day. You aren't going to change my opinion. You can keep trying if it makes you feel better though.

I'm not trying to change your opinion because I already know from several previous posts that you think this game is perfect in every way and has no problems, obviously nothing anyone says is gonna change that.

I'm simply pointing out that your opinion doesn't outweigh reality.

Actually, you are 100% wrong. I've been playing XIV since 1.0 and have done end game content just fine while living within the US. Just because YOU are having problems doesn't mean the majority are. All of my friends haven't had issues and we all live in the US. Stop spreading misinformation.
