Fix the CC Pickups

[Sigma860]

The health pickups, the chocobo feathers, and the red balls all have TERRIBLE detection. It's ridiculous that you're forced to stop to pick up the potions and balls because if you keep running there's a good chance you won't get them.

And don't get me started on the chocobo feathers. Just now me and a teammate stacked on one a full 2 seconds before the wind started and an enemy jumped in at the very last moment. The enemy got the buff but we didn't.

Just happened to me an hour ago. An enemy and I both had our feet firmly planted on the circle well before we launched up. Both our bodies went through the feathers and none of us got the buff as we face-planted like idiots.

And don't get me started on how often my weaponskill animations will start but immediately cancel-out like my character got the hiccups. Sh*t has robbed me of so many KOs, I see red.

After all those years, server tickrates are still as slow as lettuce.

Jump before you get sent in the air. Your chances of getting the feathers over everyone else sky rockets.

Thanks, this actually works. I had no idea that only one person can get the feathers because CC explains nothing in game. I didn't even know the red balls gave a damage boost until I read it on the forums.

Wait... so THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING!? I thought I was button mashing terribly or something but this makes MUCH MORE sense. I'm gonna watch for this now.

Yeah, but it's a lot easier if you just... activate your shield rather than chasing something that's MUCH faster than you only to not reach it or think you did. One time I got pulled back further away from the feather because of online delay... only to get tossed up, question why I didn't grab it while being the only one and find myself three feet away all of a sudden... Like I swear I was under it a few times only to be told "Nah, you weren't" as I get my face slapped into the ground like I'm Hildibrand or something.

It's because of the server ticks. You'll notice it happen a ton if you try chasing people around pillars/walls.

It's like the game starts the animation before checking if the target is still elligible to be hit or something. If the animation starts, the whole thing should resolve every time and I think everyone can agree with that concept.

I'm sorry you should git gud. Your feather-snatching skills are just sub par. You only complain because you can't understand the game.

(Sarcasm, just to be clear)

On that note, it's always so good to be stunned inside your guard. Or, you know, to die when you try to use Dragoon's LB and still spend your LB bar anyway.

Aside from the low tick rate, I think there are some big issues on how the game handles actions that get sent on the same refresh window. If you used guard, you shouldn't have gotten stunned. If you got stunned, you shouldn't have been able to use guard. But instead of having some priority system to resolve which of the two actions should have happened first, they allow both mutually exclusive actions to take place. IMO that only makes the low tick rate all the more noticeable and harmful for gameplay.

Good to know I'm not the only one that stays on the ground and vulnerable during Sky High sometimes. Very cool.
