Fall Guys event feedback

[caffe_macchiato]

The fact that Square Enix chose to recreate Fall Guys shows how out-of-touch they are with their own game code. How did they manage to think that this would work? Maybe they were too ashamed and would rather ignore the elephant in the room? We can't even have nice things in raids because of this, let alone a game mode like Fall Guys.

But none of this matters because the raids won't change and we won't get any improvements in 7.0. What matters most is that people buy the expac, beat the story, and unsubscribe. And looking at the Japanese forum where no one is discussing this, it's likely that the devs don't even know this exists. All that remains is some gripes on the English forums here and there, we get told to unsub or play other games, and that's it. Profit is profit.

(Don't get me wrong, the idea of a Fall Guys collab is great. Just like the ideas behind most things in FFXIV. But ideas don't play themselves.)

Btw I flippin knew this was gonna happen. This game's netcode is so stupid, and its been such a hindrance for why we cant have better and fun fights. Everything has to be design around a delay including mechanics and I seriously hope they finally realize they need to update their entire code if we want this game to be fun to play.

Being serious here, how many people ACTUALLY enjoy play FFXIV? I mean physically, in terms of combat? Because I dont. I tolerate sure but its shit like this that makes it really hard to have true fun with this game because the netcode and delay is so horribly bad. We just all gotten used to it for so long.

Well I say its time we started making more noise about this, because if the game is going to try to evolve for the next 10 years, it needs to get its network and engine upgraded just as much as the graphics.

you're right while it could be a fun collab it riddled severely with the netcode issue.

Just some examples of the excellent netcode we're working with here. It's like 2.0 Titan all over again.

Came here to say this exact thing. They already struggle enough as it is to make even PvP functional where you literally have to take into account your Guard activation in relation to when the server is probably going to register your usage of it. Somehow this new collab feels even worse than that. It really highlights how bad their netcode is when you literally can't trust what you are seeing on your screen and get nailed by AoEs that were shown to have resolved with you outside of it.

This is what keeps me from getting excited about content and events like this with strict timing and misleading positions on things. Their netcode and snapshotting of positions (and actions) are awful, and this collab brings full attention to it.

Keep posting these. Let the devs understand that this type of gameplay doesn't work with the current backend systems.

Yep. Titan 2.0 all over again. Also the 1st gif is a somber reminder to people that if you aren't like a whole second or two infront of a pack, you're probably not even in front, despite what your screen shows.

So apparently ninja speed buff still works in this event not sure how that slipped SE QA team so I’ve been told by a couple of people and it kind of make sense because I seen a couple of get a ahead of the back compared to everyone else

That's egregious if its true and should have been the 1st things altered for this competition.

I'm glad I don't like any of the glam rewards so I don't feel pressured to grind this out. Don't wanna dress like a teenager that's been made to get up at 5am to do a car bootsale with their dad.

My sentiments exactly. If people like the glam, good for them. I thought I might've liked the crown but it's a little too oversized and looks like a Burger King paper crown.

They're mostly saying they don't like that you can't leave right away, but there are some complaints about the hit detection.
