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

lmao why is it that in the examples shown, people didn't run out of the aoe before the cast bar finished... either that, or the boss isn't targeted, so you can't see the castbar....

I'm not saying that there isn't a big netcoding issue, cuz its bullshit, and there is... i'm just saying, show examples of getting out of the aoe 'before' the castbar is complete, and still getting hit by the move. That's all.

Actually in that thumbnail gif you see that he had moved out of the linear red area before piercing laser finished casting yet he still got hit.

No I don't have any issues dodging aoe because of latency problems but it's clear that alot of people do and that thumbnail proves it. I don't know about the other examples coz I didn't bother looking at them

Would be nice if this massive game breaking issue was addressed by SE already. I am canceling my sub till the time it might ever get fixed.

Someone isn't paying attention to the news from the devs. They said the game will be updating every .1 seconds in instanced content with the 2.1 patch. Cancel your sub till next week then, but it's getting taken care of.

The post you quoted was made before the live letter announcement. This thread got bumped after calming down for a while.

is the animations and red circles/lines syncronized already? cause that has nothing to do with net problems, its just bad designing.

The synchronization itself is fine. The problem is that to the server you're permanently lagged by about 0.3s so you're never at where you think you are accordingly to the server.

I was in titan five times tonight. EVERY time I died because of this stupid Weight of the Earth AOE. I have enough time to see it, and immediately run to the outside edge before it goes off. But guess what? That's not good enough, because of the lag. If I can't even run off of these things as soon as they appear, how am I supposed to avoid them? I am a BLM. I die easily and have low defense. I am also usually in mid-spell so there is NO time to let the final bit of the spell finish before running.

Please SE, make the lag shorter or give us an extra .5 sec to get off titan's AOE to make up for it.

If I am NOT in the aoe when it goes off, I should not get hit. I get it - japanese servers do not have as much lag. But I do here. I can't play end-game if I can't win a fight that I am pulling off all the right moves in. I feel like FFXIV is cheating. If you guys don't like cheating, why have your servers cheat your players constantly?

Q2: You have said that in FFXIV: ARR, the character's position is checked by the server once every 0.3 seconds. However there are times where the character receives AoE damage even though the character on the screen is outside of the range. Seems like the information on character's position is not up to date. Is there any plan to make an adjustment to this?

A2: If we apply faster response times in all areas, the load on the servers will be too much. Therefore, while it will only be for certain areas (for example high-level content and the Wolves' Den), you will be able to notice the faster response times. Please stay tuned!

I really question the MMORPG credentials of someone who apparently still haven't realized that being out of the AE before the castbar is done isn't good enough to dodge it. The only way that's even possible is that you avoid every AE with a comfortable margin of error, but given how tightly tuned the AEs are in terms of timing, this implies you started the fight already memorizing all the AEs to be able to move that fast. That is fine except, if you didn't know the castbar lies, why would you decide to memorize every AE to avoid them with a comfortable margin in the first place? Because the castbar sure makes it looks like you ought to be avoid it quite comfortably like any standard MMORPG. You'd have to know that the castbar lies for you to come to the conclusion that you ought to memorize the AEs to compensate.
