Battleping for EU players

[complexxL9]

For dodging things, the rule is: if whatever it is finishes casting (as in, cast bar is done, animation of cast finish begins, whatever) while you are in the aoe, then you are going to be hit. It doesn't matter where you go afterward, you didn't dodge it and you got hit. The same exact rule applies to you against enemies.

For example: that titan video. The player did not move fast enough. Titan's cast bar at the top of the screen finished while he was still in the plume radius; whatever else happens after that is irrelevant. He was already dead. Keep in mind you can do the same thing against them too, by waiting for the cast bar to finish and then jumping into the plume. You won't take damage.

Lag is not an excuse. The game requires you to move that fast. That's just how it is. Welcome to hard mode.

so what you're saying is:
you see boss throwing a rock which lands 5 meters away from your character and you still get damage. Everything's ok here, you just need to understand that this game works this way and be aware that actually you need to be 5 meters away not when the rock lands, but when it is thrown in to the air.
that kind of design is flawed and lazy and yes on top of that it is certainly hard, but it can be hard without these flaws.

So no matter your ping, they should first fix obvious flaws.

-cut-.

Having the client the server the casting bar and the visual marker all out of sync is no hard mode , is just poor coding .

I've no issue at all dodging stuff at the current state , but that doesn't mean that is right as it is .

or you can just open the game and hold windows button + r and type in resmon to open the resource monitor then go network and look for ffxiv.exe and you can see your ping in real time

You win all of Linus Torvaldis' love.
