Why not fixing NetCode instead of Graphical update?

...The netcode feels fine? Maybe get better internet tbh.

This is 100% a known issue. The netcode for FFXIV has always been hot garbage outside of Japan.
Nothing to do with internet.

instant like for me. this this this please this ffs this.

Completely different areas of specialization. Rendering engineers ain't gonna fix the netcode.

It does need to be fixed though. I'm tired that the game pretends to be an action game and telegraphs things to tell you "dodge this!" and you still eat the aoe even though you moved outside of the telegraph half an hour before the hit.

And now with DT's obvious lack of polish, or direction, or, well, much of anything... Nope. Done with their excuses. Done with their lack of resources somehow being my problem as a consumer. Fix the damned game.

It is honestly this.
Every companies goal is to make money. "Logically" the best thing any company can do is sell the cheapest product for the highest price possible
None of us here work for SE, none of us are the CEO- nobody here gets anything out of making excuses or reasons why it shouldn't be criticized or something should be given a pass

It's our single role as a consumer to continue pressuring them to improve, always

VPR could be much more better job if there is actual fix for netcode
PVP will be immediate popular game mode
raids will be more interesting and actually test people reaction more often in very different ways

Dawntrail has 90 issues and 10 positives..
the idea that "they don't have money" is so silly and uneducated thing to say..

They're busy using XIV's income to make games that can't recoup their development costs. I don't think SE's had anything else they consider a success since the first game of the ∞-part FF7 sequel-remake series.

Ok, netcode is not the best if you don't live near a server but it aint that bad except if your routing is crap to begin with.

That said, unequivocally this:

hell even uncle Yoshi tells us to go play other games (preferably SQE games and keep your ffxiv subs up).
As a business having a diverse portfolio is important, and lets not forget that all the money is pooled and redistributed accordingly. If I ever see news that SQE is refactoring the netcode and increasing the budget of FFXIV, I'd believe that they were really in the verge of bankrupcy tbh.

I don't think you understand what is Netcode is and why it is bad.. there is a clear delay when pressing button and when activate it I play very compatitive online games with no issue never face issue unless I play FFXIV.. and many of my friends that live in USA have these issues..

don't act like this is not an issue from the "code" and put the blame on service providers.. which is a bad argument.
