Standing out of the red, and still getting hit

[Cyberpirate]

I know how to move out of stuff..I'll be out of it before the cast is up, and still get hit

Im in Australia, playing at 200-300ms. I played WoW and Rift and had no issues moving out of attacks, it's only this game that is causing problems, either due to lag or animations.

I've heard a lot of noise around this from players that aren't in JP or NA.

I play from Australia and had no trouble avoiding stuff in other NA server based games with 200~300 ping but not in this game its not reaction time or lag is the mechanics and its a lot worse for a healer because we are not focusing on the boss we have party members targeted so we don't see the cast bars

This *isn't* an ISP/internet problem - I've just checked my laptop on speedtest.net and my connection is apparently better than 94% of the planet (fibre optic broadband 71.29Mb/s download 15.83Mb/s upload). It also doesn't explain why myself and others are suffering this "lag" exclusively within FFXIV and not other MMOs or XBLA/PSN games we're playing.



My "solution" was to run straight at him whenever I was targeted (normal Titan, no idea if this'd OHKO a WHM in hard) - this meant I would definitely get hit, but I'd also never get knocked off the edge. Running to the side seems like the obvious thing to do but there were too many times when I'd run waaaaayyyyy wide of the marker and *still* end up knocked off the edge :/

It also isn't a game issue either, since many players do not have any issues getting out of the red areas in time.

I have only been hit once outside of the aoe of any mob. But for those consistenty getting it I realise how frustrating it could be. "Please look forward to it"

I don't think its that it doesn't happen, I think its more they just learned to compensate as 1.0 players did at that time just not as bad xd.

i'm playing for Australia and atm my latency is 300-490ms highest i've ever had for a mmo game that i was playing on an NA server. even if i move out at 45% cast bar i still get hit in dungeons it's not that bad in the world but in dungeons it's so much worse.
and for all the people that say there isnt a problem look at this someone posted in another thread.

Hello,

I posted this already here, but I guess it got lost in the posts, posting it again.

All those issues and more are the same problem, I put them all in this thread, support would be greatly appreciated

Something I found that seems to help is not resizing the window the game opens in if you play with it windowed and not full screen, does not totally eliminate it, but it does seem to reduce it a bit. Not entirely sure why it makes a difference, but it does for me.

Did the normal Titan fight lastnight and ran into this problem. His knock off move would show, i would stop what i was doing and just run and yet i would still get hit by it. The thing was some of the times I would do the exact same thing and it wouldnt touch me. I also notice the red aggro line would still lock onto me even though I was out of the way. its really annoying and makes it look like I dont know what im doing.

I'm having 0 issues on my server. I'm on Hyperion and I live in new York city. The server time is 6 hours ahead of me so I know for a fact that Hyperion is a European server. I guess SE should of explained where each server actually is.

Well, servers are in Canada. So I'd expect players from NA to have few problems.

As for me, I'm EU, and red circles are a pain. If I don't move out of AOE before cast is 50% I will most likely get hit.
