Fall Guys event feedback

[Derio]

The event is very fun. However it really shows how bad the ingame server tick lag is.

All this does is show your lack of understanding on the matter.
While many of the snapshots are weirdly and badly designed in the event. They are that way by design. (Which you can 100% blame the devs for)
But they are fully consistent and can be learned.
Netcode doesn't come into play unless you yourself have bad internet and then it's on you.

So if you want to keep believing it's "bad netcode", you're gonna stay bad at it.

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.

There are complaints about the snapshotting and people leaving. There was one post about cheaters, but it was to tell people never to complain about cheating because then it is "promoting" it. Classic! In other words, the dreaded crackdown won't be happening.

So if you want to keep believing it's "bad netcode", you're gonna stay bad at it.

For the past 40 years of gaming in North America, slow hit detection has only happened due to lag. Final Fantasy XIV is one of the few games that has a purposeful delay between hit detection and appearance. The common person who encounters a situation like FFXIV would think it's because of lag. It's bad enough for a game to have a lag problem, it's even worse that the lag is a part of the design. It should be shameful, but it's FFXIV where the developers are coddled and praised. Our sub money is treated like a donation.

A lot of people love FFXIV as-is only because it confers a status by which they can feel superior to others. When it comes to the actual core mechanics, it is very difficult to be a fan.

Maybe only japanese players next to the servers should keep playing?

People seem to like to complain about the part of my message where I say it's not a lag issue on the server side and that netcode has nothing to do with it.
But they completely ignore the part of my message that the issue is by design for which the complaints should be aimed at the devs.
And somehow they think I'm defending the devs across the board, when all I say is that you should complain about the right thing.

Additional to the fact that if you contribute your issues to the wrong thing, then you can't learn and work around it.

Pretty much how I feel about it. The Fall Guys event is an embarrassing showcase of just how bad the netcode and/or lag and/or AoE animation telegraphing truly is. The rampant cheating is also a huge downer. However, despite all the problems, I feel like this the most fun event we've ever had in FFXIV. Not that there's exactly a high bar there, but I am genuinely having a blast with it. The rewards are awesome, too. Plenty of cool stuff to grab, and it's affordable enough you don't have to grind out of FOMO. It's also a great way to farm MGP and collect specialty dyes if you have the other prizes already. In some ways, the event gets a perfect 10/10 from me. It's just a shame that it's also kind of a dumpster fire in other ways.

Dumb and not fun at all. I thought was going to be a jump and obstacle course. Confuse part needs to be removed. Arrow points forward go to move and you're going the wrong way. If have any lag it's a total nightmare and have not yet even been able to finish the first course from it. If had to rate it, I would only give it only half a star.

I've played over 100 matches now and have yet to win one. Oh i see people (the same people every time) running with sprint on or teleporting to the end but i was told either i'm lying or to just ignore it. Not since Planetside2 have i seen such defense of cheaters and exploiters with variations of "Get gud scrub" or "Your PC just sucks" or "I got the achievement on ten characters so you just suck" So much for the helpful FF14 community. I'd just like an equal playing field to possibly win one time to not feel like such a loser. This is the new content I'm returning to on the callback campaign, I'll probably stop playing again. The game gets worse every time I'm convinced to comeback.

What's worse is that CBU3 hasn't come out and said a single thing about it, has largely swept it under the rug, and ignoring it like we all don't actively see what's going on.

It's insulting how hands off on this they are right now.

Honestly, Dynamis is dead. Come here if you don't have your achievement. I never win, and I've gotten like 6 people games a lot. Got a win finally. Done with it. It was ok.
