AoE problem. Again

[Vanquo]

What I've learned is if you're are still standing in the red target circle/cone/line when it starts fading away, you will ALWAYS get hit by the attack even if you're visually 30 miles away from it or even behind the mob. Most people expect the hit confirmation to happen AFTER this attack animation ends. How it works right now is game decides you're hit 2 or so seconds before the attack animation finishes.

Red target cone starts to fade > you run and you're visually behind the mob 20 or so meters away > 2 seconds later the dragon actually does fire breath attack after a big wind-up you still get hit.

This is even worse with abilities that don't have that red visual thing like those bosses with laser beams. You can't tell if the game already thinks you're already hit because you could be way outside of the beam on your screen but of course you're still hit. The mechanics of how it all works just makes the game feel unresponsive and laggy.

Can someone tell me what need to be done for developers accepted AoE problem as bug, because I'm tired of dying while going away from AoE? Developers didnt fix AoE bug on 100%. 50%, but not 100%

It's officially recognised as a bug - http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...s-everybody%29

Which means it's not (entirely) the fault of the player if they get hit.

You're not accounting for built in server "latency". The server checks your position every .3 seconds, or 300 ms. Having this "feature", while also struggling with network latency makes it hard pressed to avoid many of the AoEs.
