I've played a lot of games in my life and this is the first one I've seen someone say "Just ignore the hacker."
Glad I made the switch back to single player games.

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.

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.
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.
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.
I mean, go ahead and report them too, but it's not like it's going to immediately remove them from your lobbies and it may not have any effect at all.
Again though, like I said, I don't think it's very likely that people are running into outright cheaters. It's far more likely that people aren't understanding that the person that seems to be just slightly behind them on Manderville Mountain actually is slightly ahead of them, because a great many players don't understand latency and the effects it has on what you see in this game (or in many other online games) vs. what is actually happening.
As someone who has just hit 100/100 wins as of yesterday and is now a Queen Bean, I am encouraging, nay BEGGING Square to make the requirement for the title something much easier.
100 round wins, 10 wins, 1 win + ??? round wins.
Something else please, this was HELL to grind for.
As for anyone not already in deep for this achievement, just forget it. If they don't change it, then you're better off just racking up those wins very slowly or just not touching it till they possibly fix it.
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.
