Fall Guys event feedback

[Jettinson]

Very fun but janky:
-The main annoyance is the long queue
-Had a session where we were stuck for almost a minute despite everybody ready at the starting zone.
-The AoEs are weird, there have been moments i never got hit despite walking into them and some on reverse
-Some mechanics like Misdirection are pure cancer. Sometimes the finger points at the opposite the moment you step on the area, definitely my least favorite.
-Getting eliminated forces you stare at loading the next area and then having the option to spec/leave. Unless I missed something, that already eats a bit of time but I imagine the issue lies on XIV itself, Fall Guys at least let you immediately leave after eliminated.

Other than that, you do get nicely rewarded and should not take long for getting the stuff you want, getting some MGP is nice too.

Event is fun and has some decent looking glamour. Housing items are super disappointing though. I was really hoping the hammer would have a hitbox so I could set up minigames with it. They went through the effort to make it move like the minigames... and then made it so it has no interaction or hitboxes at all... Why?

im not seeing the quest giver.

The event itself is really well done in my opinion, the rewards are pretty cool. But oh boy the netcode does not play well with this at all. Many rounds I get hit 1-2 seconds after getting past the obstacle and having never touched the aoe marker. I have no issues losing to someone who's movement is better...but really dumb to lose because of the netcode.
Gonna get the rewards, then not touch it again. Also 100 wins for the title, pure rng to obtain.

I give it a 7/10 because of how outdated xiv's netcode shows with this event.

It's too latency reliant. I'm getting really tired of where you're carrying the red crystal and get pushed off at literally anything because of latency, it's like Sisyphus.

I was actually looking forward to a fun, silly event like Fall Guys, but then I saw it’s basically a PvP lol? You’re competing against 23 other people the entire time? If that’s true it really kills my hype lol, I just wanted to do some fun jumping stuff, not constantly fight with people over who came first and the inevitable arguments at the end.

How much does coming last affect the reward lol? Compared to coming first

This is genuinely the worst experience I have had playing this game

I am not exaggerating it. I play from south america and this event will probably be a "slog through the grind and then stop" because there is no getting around the obstacles with my ping (150-170ms with a good connection). Is Dodge too early? get hit, Dodge too late? get hit, Dodge when it's visually "on time"? get hit, Standing where something has not gone off yet? GET STUNNED WITHOUT AN ANIMATION and then get hit

I understand the experience is probably a lot more fun for those with 100 ping but man... this is really miserable

What infuriates me is that they literally knew about the shoddy netcode since like 1.0 . Anyone could’ve seen these issues coming a mile off based on literally the entire history of the game since OG release lol
And still , like 10 years later, they’re making absolutely no effort to work around it or adapt the content to ensure that it remains consistent across all players. Like not even in terms of the code itself but in terms of like, duration of AoEs before detonation taking latency into account (making an AoE that detonates in 0.5 seconds is absolutely no good in a game with a 3 sec delay (tick) between player and server. But I guess that’s too much work for such a small indie dev team.

Like I get that it’s an extremely difficult issue to solve but at the same time they could at least make an effort to ensure when content is added to the game it’s not going to be massively affected by the player’s location/ping/etc

I really hope the dev team sees this thread, because I absolutely love this event. This is fun! This is engaging! This is a fun kind of PVP! I want to see more things like this!

Bravo, CBUIII! Good show!

I will say I noticed some jank on hit calculations, but nothing so egregious I felt robbed.

I'm also glad we can't grapple. ^^;

Why the hell is the Miqo'te crown not tilted??
