[GAMEBREAKING] Ability/moving objects delay and unresponsiveness (affects everybody)

[exxe]

Playing like this sucks, but it's not a 100% excuse, when you see a red area move out ASAP as a workaround, don't try to be greedy ;p

As you pointed out yourself this is not only about getting hit by AoE damage where you shouldn't get hit but also (and for me this is the main issue, as I can adapt to other stuff not matter how stupid it might be) that I can't reliably chain my abilities. I constantly have to watch my bar if the skills I intended to use have fired or not. As a result you constantly lose DPS and while this might not be a big problem in low level dungeons and FATEs, this will be in end-game content, esp. if you need a DPS race for whatever reason. Plus you won't be able to time really anything and you lose a lot of precision.

Yet if you get hit by stuff it's not about greedy - you made the points up well in your original post, everything adds up: if your latency is just high enough it renders it completely irrelevant if you even start moving out or not, you will get hit no matter what you do or when you start moving.

Anyways I'd like to thank you very much for posting this and describing everything in detail and I hope this thread won't be ignored (and - important as well - kept alive!) even if the bug report template was not used. SWToR, GW2 and Rift showed that this can be changed if enough community members complain.

It's so terrifying for me to heal sometimes, because I need to respond like a millisecond after the red appears, so that I can run run run. Because if I'm just a teensy bit late, even if I'm way out, KABLAM.


just so happens I had a recording of titan with this
clipped it out here

I should have been able to dodge that, but nooooooooooooooooope

You know, I was wondering why I was having such a tough time on Titan, I was obviously out of the ability that knocks you back on my screen, and yet, I was hit. I asked a close friend about it, and he has the same issue. It doesn't shock me, because I had to deal with that in SWTOR when I played that. I ended up quitting over it because it makes healing beyond frustrating.

I don't have this problem in WoW at all, from a heroic raider. I thought maybe FF14 is very very unforgiving compared to other games, but seeing a topic like this sort of worries me and I'm kinda relieved about it since I'm not the only person having this problem.

That is exactly what I'm experiencing, I kept going YES! I made it out in time, and off the platform i flew... resulting in a lot of players badmouthing me and leaving, i kinda lost my desire to play the game cause of this. I can't progress and people call me names cause of it. So. Not. Fun... Hope they fix it.

Exacly the same here - and as shown in the video - runs out and gets knocked off anyway. One time I ran through Titan and still got knocked off. To illustrate:
ME --- Titan -> tank
titan turns around
ME - <-Titan
I run through him
<-Titan --- Me
he executes the skill
<-Titan --------------------------------------- Me
followed by the long drop and splat

So I am also effectively stuck and unable to progress unless a fix is made

I hope this gets the attention it deserves.

It is really hard for casters and healers to get out of things because there's a split second pause to cancel the cast and before you know its too late heals have long cast times and in a mobile fight its chaos

I completely support this thread,

my friends all already stopped playing thanks to this and the time it takes to get to 50

(which its like 70-80hours, which for a guy that works and plays like 2h a day would take a month and a half to do it)

and i, even tho im 50 already (was on holidays on august) will also stop playing if this unresponsivness isnt fixed since it just gets me frustated all the time (im a healer, and that "healing after what it shows" its incredibly annoying)

[Norljus]

I'm also stuck on Titan due to this bug and certainly won't sub while this isn't fixed.

This only gets worse at end game and needs to be fixed before the game can be taken seriously from a raiding point of view.
