I just did the event on my oceanic twinks... its hard, like REALLY hard but on one of em i actually ended up solo and won lol
Still that lag is insane...

Reward was cute, I enjoyed the event kind of. But I didn't really care for the aoes hitting me after I already passed them. Just goes to show they really should try to make some improvements to the way the game handles those sorts of things again.

Between this and pvp it feels like the netcode is the biggest issue in the game for me.

I think my biggest criticism is that, if I want to play fallguys, I'd rather just play fallguys... the game is free to play and doesn't suffer from FFXIV's netcode issues and server tick setup. I like the idea, and I don't think it's a bad game or anything, but I can't help but feel like the devs are a little bit tone deaf to the built-in lag of this game. Minigames like fallguys puts FFXIV's flaws on full display. It's like those Endwalker cutscenes where the camera pans over the absolutely horrible-looking food. It's not a problem that the game's graphics system can't really display good looking food, and you can use relatively rough-looking props to fill a scene as needed, but you'd ideally want to avoid making those basic models with awful textures the focal point of any scene, not place them front and center. The same is true for the game's systems.

They should be working toward events and minigames that don't suffer from permanent lag, rather than competitive PVP minigames that are supposed to depend on snappy moment-to-moment decisions. It's why no one plays Chocobo Racing. A built-in Mario Kart minigame sounds like it could be fantastic, but not when everyone is dealing with permalag. We have Triple Triad which I do like, even if it suffers from having no really convenient way to just casually play without running out of decks to play with almost immediately, but something like a Hearthstone-esque minigame or crossover, or something like Genshin's Genius Invokation would make a lot more sense since you aren't trying to play a game of movement skills and timing with a laggy system. Not asking for that specifically, just using it as an example. I want to like the fallguys event more, but it really can't hope to outshine the original at its own game. In hindsight, an Among Us crossover probably could've been a lot more effective, because the focus is on discussion and deduction.

I’m not going to lie, I am enjoying doing the event even with the annoying late strikes I take. I’m currently running it with all my Alts just to get all the junk from the vendor. After earning 4800 bean tokens or whatever it is, I get my stuff and move on. I average at least 2 wins every go with a character. I run about 14 runs so that means I win every 7 games. That’s fine. I can’t win them all. I’m not looking for that lame title.




One thing I do want to ask, are the Japanese forum tripping out like we are? Is there anything on their forum? If not, maybe someone who speaks Japanese should post something on their forum.

Definitely been having fun slurping up all of the "nEtCoDe" and "someone else did something I can't; they must have cheated" tears.

Worth noting that in all of the matches I played for the title, I never once came across anyone who I suspected of cheating (by this, I mean performing feats that should be outright impossible, like levitating to the crown or running faster than normal or something). Not saying it never happens, certainly, but I really don't think it's as commonplace as being made out to be. If you ever do come across someone doing that, I'd just make a note of who it is and drop out of the lobby if you see them in it. The people who are brazen enough to do this probably aren't bothering to reenter to fish for solo lobbies, so it's unlikely they will continuously follow you to the next lobby.

I've played a lot of games in my life and this is the first one I've seen someone say "Just ignore the hacker."

Glad I made the switch back to single player games.

I mean, go ahead and report them too, but it's not like it's going to immediately remove them from your lobbies and it may not have any effect at all.

Again though, like I said, I don't think it's very likely that people are running into outright cheaters. It's far more likely that people aren't understanding that the person that seems to be just slightly behind them on Manderville Mountain actually is slightly ahead of them, because a great many players don't understand latency and the effects it has on what you see in this game (or in many other online games) vs. what is actually happening.

As someone who has just hit 100/100 wins as of yesterday and is now a Queen Bean, I am encouraging, nay BEGGING Square to make the requirement for the title something much easier.

100 round wins, 10 wins, 1 win + ??? round wins.

Something else please, this was HELL to grind for.

As for anyone not already in deep for this achievement, just forget it. If they don't change it, then you're better off just racking up those wins very slowly or just not touching it till they possibly fix it.
