Ifrit Extreme....What's Different?

[Churchill]

It may be a quarter second difference on average, but even on the West Coast there are times I can't outrun cracks and will have 2 explode on me literally right after I see them.

This doesn't occur all the time as cracks are usually not a problem, but it does occur some times.

Most problem is the position check between client and server

Client: "Char moved out of the AoE range"
Server: "No, he is still in range. Eat the damage!"

I hope it is better with 2.0

Should be, since they said the massive amount of shaders is also part of the problem more so than server latency in regards to a lot of issues.

Watch the JP videos of Ifrit X and watch how fast they can use skills in succession, then try to do it on your client. They get them off so much quicker its insane.

This isn't just about dodging Ifrit skills etc... you can do that with insight np but there's nothing that can make up for how much quicker they can push through combos, buffs, etc. I'd assume the best JP DRG or MNK etc blows the best US/EU out of the water by a pretty decent margin.

You can also see this while gathering next to a JP, how their swings are closer together than yours are.

Hopefully this imbalance will be fixed in 2.0 because anything that is "very very challenging" for JP players may really be impossible for NA/EU if it remains like the current client.

You do realize this is also tied to your PC's performance, right?

I have a really nice computer, i run this game on minimum settings, JP swing 8 times in the time that I swing 7

Sorry, had to jump in here for this but...

If you have a really nice PC why are you running minimum settings? I call bullshit.

He could have turned them down to ensure maximum framerate all the time. He could also have turned them down to ensure that system load wasn't a factor in the percieved lag during his test.

Don't really see what bullshit there is to call.

[Chardrizard]

He is the guy that demands server to be segregated between the JP and the rest of the world, his view is extremely biased.
