Sorry SE, but endgame won't work if you don't fix something.

You shouldn't have to be clairvoyant to play a game, also most runs that fail first time disband so learning the fight can be hard especially with pug groups.

Overall though we shouldn't be sat here saying "this is ok, learn the fight" when the game is obviously broken for some people, this needs to be fixed.

What happens when/if they add fights that have no pattern ?

Well said Jinko, Rydin.

I've experienced this awful latency as well on Titan HM, and I knew the pattern.

On a side note: Does anyone feel like more of these Boss encounters are becoming a glorified version of Dance Dance Revolution? Left, Right, Up, Down, Up, Up, Down, etc. It just feels like we're learning Dance Moves instead of really battling exciting Bosses and saving Eorzea.

While not a game-breaking issue for me, it's still probably the most annoying thing I've encountered in the game so far. If I'm out of the red area it's a fault in the game or something if it hits me. But it's definitely not the players fault. I have no idea though whether this behavior in the game is due to high latency for European players or what, but it definitely does happen and it needs to be fixed. And for those who say "Upgrade your network" to anyone who suffers from this issue, I really hope they understand that this happens even with very high speed connections. (I play with 100Mbps)

If they can't fix the issue (which I hope they can), then they should make the red areas larger than what they really are.. It'd be far less annoying to think you're going to be hit but then you'd miraculously would avoid it. (Just kidding, not really suggesting this.) ^^

I'm on a 120/10 connection with near-perfect connectivity but fail to dodge AoE's almost ALL the time. Getting hit up to 3 seconds AFTER leaving the AoE field is just bollocks. On my archer, the only thing that helps is constantly being on the move.

This is partially to blame that I play on a JP data server (I had no other choice at the time) from Europe, though. But I doubt transferring to a NA/EU server will make it any better inside instances.

Explain:

How can a lot of people avoid AoE and LoS then? If there truly is an issue NO ONE would be able to - NO one.

I have yet to meet someone who hasnt failed moving out of an AOE on Titan HM. Its not that it happens everytime, its the inconsistency.

Umm.. What? Why would it have to happen to everyone? There's even been videos posted of this issue on this topic which are quite good evidence that this issue exists.

I've noticed these things too, I got used to it and don't have much trouble avoiding it now though.

Here in australia, we got nightmare level latency.... I would clearly stepped out and even wait fr a bit before the attack was launched ans still getting hit...

I got latency problem even in WoW, but with a little practice, its still manageable... This game on the other hand... Its just....


Well..... I guess im either bad or not pro enuff...

As others have also suggested on here using a skill while you're out of the aoe instead of waiting for it to go off can sometimes help. This explains a lot of the dismissive replies from melee classes since the constant flow of abilities may be keeping their position more accurate. This is conjecture on my part but even fighting regular monsters out in the world this seems to be the case.

I pretty much have to do fortune telling. Or begin moving 2 seconds in advance.

The white knights and fanboys in this thread make me really sad, seriously what do you have to win by defending SE? They aren't going to give you free shit or anything like that. It's obvious that this is an issue by the amount of reports we have seen both on the forums and reddit, and only the developers can say for sure what it is exactly, but it's not only lag i think that's pretty clear at this point, I have 70ms to the servers and I still suffered from this.
