Either make dodging AoEs possible, or make them not instant-kills

[Reeereee]

This is a known issue as it is in the accepted bugs forum:

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ects-everybody)

I would assume they are working on it then.

This was pointed out to them months and months ago in beta and clearly was not addressed. I believe the accepted bug forum only means they're acknowledging that you filled out the form right, not that anything has been investigated or is going to be done about it. I don't have a huge amount of hope for a quick resolution on this.

games engine works different than other games

you have to be out of the red circle before it disappears. if you aren't, you could teleport 50 yards away and still get hit. my guess is server just takes a snapshot of your character's location when the visual cue disappears.

chimeras are just punks, sorry

Indeed you are right on the money there. You have until the red disappears to move, if you move out after, you're hit regardless of where you are. If anyone has latency issues it's me, but I haven't died from anything other than sheer lazy and not paying attention lol

Yeah, Ive noticed a definitely unforgiving delay in this game. If Im even having a tiny bit of latency that, coupled with the game delay itself, with kill me everytime. I shouldnt have to direct connect my internet to PC and shut off the wireless for my roommate because its screwing me up in a video game. ahahaha

I played Tera and didn't have this problem. Definitely a problem with the game also...Its too wide spread to try to deny with too many people having the same problem to deny it. I thought it was just me at first, but obviously not.

This is most fucked thing ever, I play from australia on JP server, I can be OUT OF THE RED for a full second, (I have sub 200ms ping) and still get it.

Its beyond rediculous that On the twin adder dungeon (lvl44) where that crystal boss shoots giant lasers, that the ONLY time i can move out of it is if i happen to be running already.
I have the reaction time of a jet fighter pilot for christs sake, I clearly made it well out of the red targeting field and yet still every single aoe hits me and I'm about ready to give up on this game because there is no way in hell im raiding with this crap.

[Synol]

Are you playing on a server not near your own location. Like NA playing on JP servers or something? Because that could cause the problem with dodging aoe.

I play most games on NA servers from Australia and never had this problem. Using this as an excuse is complete nonsense.

Clearly you two idiots did not watch the video that was linked. Clearly she was out of the red for most of the time it was even up.

Titan (Hard) lags so bad it reminds me of ifrit in 1.0 lag. Even people in my FC with amazingly built computers of geek-hood complain about the lag in that instance.

P.S I blame the crappy overloaded Duty finder instance servers.

[Daniel_Hatcher]

All they'd have to do is have the information concerning whether the player is hit in relation to enemy AoEs handled clientside.

Yeah, that will never happen.

[Denkish]

I can vouch aswell for this not being an internet problem. It's very clear that it's SE's servers that are screwed up. I have 100mb/s line and my whole free company is experiencing the exact same things

[AuroCarbuncle]

This has happened to ne a bunch of times on Ifrit Hard mode. Radiant plume, I move out of the way (and I can see my char in the safe zone), still die or lose 80% HP.
