    Lol, some players will actively deny there even is a problem. Whenever there's a video or a gif file of someone getting hit by AOE long after they've been out of it, someone will always be there to try and chalk it up to "snapshotting," and will sweep any statements about the netcode's/server update rate's intentionally poor design under the rug.

    So I'll ask them: "ok if FFXIV's netcode/server update rate truly isn't an intentionally poor design then why is there such a big discrepancy between player movement on your own screen and player movement on another's screen, and why can slidecasting happen?"

    It always plays out two ways: either they're at a loss for words, or they try to blame ping. But nearly everyone knows player movement discrepancy and slidecasting will happen regardless of a player's ping, even if it's 20ms.

    The Legends of the Titanmen lives on, a shining example of the power of compassion and the ability of people to make a difference in the world. A reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope, as long as there are heroes like the Titanmen who dare to do good deeds in Eorzea.

    I have fiber internet that's been relatively recently installed, and I live next to a server with 1 or 2 ms ping, and I STILL encounter all of the above issues.. agreeing with you (oh, and you probably have seen already that I was the guy commenting on page 26 about being far out of many things and still getting hit, even after accounting for what should have been an estimation in my mind of where my character was on the server's side in relation to where it was on my own screen - there was never any CONSISTENCY!)

    Lol, wow, that must be infuriating.
