Lag during fate is the most ridiculous Ive ever seen, it wasn't this bad on ffxi 56k connection when 300+ people would camp an NM. Chance are if you happen to be at the right place when it spawn. Its will die before it loads on your screen. Or you will die without knowing what hit you. Its more common to run to a fate that literally just popped only to see fate ended pop up and a hoard of chocobo's sliding away from the seen. As if they some how killed it before it actually appeared. Makes the game unplayable in popular FATE areas like coerthas Even when your not there for the fate. Try disabling everyones effects and its actually worst. With effects on you can at least get an idea of where the target is from all the sparkly flashy weapon skills and spells. Without affect you just see stiff bodies sliding around.
