Fall Guys event feedback

[Ardeth]

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.

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

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.

I believe the Devs knew there would be player generated issues and some system issues. With that being said, I hope that they do what they can to mitigate or outright prevent the issues we have seen in this round the next time they bring this event back sometime next year.

This event feels like we are fighting all the game's technical faults (which they refuse to fix for 10+ years) instead of actually playing. Just react to what you see on your screen like in any other online multiplayer game? Nope, you will get hit by late AoE which you clearly left (on your screen) half a second ago and still get stunned, likely losing the round. We have to fight the bad netcode, latency, lags, 'server ticks', master 'snapshotting' and 'prepositioning in advance', instead of, you know, just playing and having fun? Like we are supposed to in a video game?

are you for real or trolling?

I’m on fiber and I get hit after the fact, sometimes 4 to 5 body lengths away. So yea, they are real.

Grumpy posting.

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.

The way I view this is that Yoshi basically loses all sympathy from any past and future gripes about cheating after the release of an ultimate encounter.

If they are not willing to do what's necessary to purge the game of misconduct and set the precedent that violators will be persecuted aggressively, then they lose any voice to complain about their time and effort being disrespected.

The difference is when articles are written. If you can make enough of a stir that IGN and Kotaku write articles about "FFXIV players are outraged at fall guys event cheating", then they will do something.
