    MCH at High Ping

    After watching some of the media tour interviews with YoshiP it became clear the devs aren't quite aware of how certain jobs play at high ping.
    So here's a video of me trying to weave certain skills during Machinst's Hypercharge window.

    details for the devs:
    I play on PS4
    I have a WiFi connection, not a direct ethernet cable
    I get roughly 180ms to Aether from Australia (on a laptop, I'm not sure if console plays a role in this)
    My ISP is Telstra
    It has rained recently (that sounds like a joke but apparently that matters here)

    Jobs with tight timed windows like Machinst and Dark Knight are very difficult for me to play at this ping. I don't think I've ever seen a proper 5/5 GCD Blood Weapon window and it's basically hit or miss if I ever see 5/5 Fell Cleaves. Jobs like Gunbreaker that ask you to get [x] amount of GCDs under a buff like No Mercy aren't really something I can comfortably play in content that requires higher DPS output.
    With conditions like these it does impact my enjoyment of a job and how likely I am to play it. I don't bother with Machinst outside of PvP content nowadays.

    And before people comment: yes, I am excited for the new OCE servers but no, I will not be moving my main character there. I've played on Aether for over 5 years now, I have friends and connections here that I don't want to give up on just for ~20ms.

    Hello! A thread was done about it in the general discussion (https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...90#post5686690) where people try to centralize those kind of feedback to try get their attention, because it seems they only really look at very long thread or smth, so if you could post it there too, it would be great!
