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

while fighting garuda the other day , I hid behind the pillar when she did her first aoe attack from the north. Everyone seen me get there, I got there before 2 others actually.. and I died while standing up still behind the pillar.. we were all like o.0

I was literally still standing up, wand in hand.. dead

They just need to do away with the silly 1s AoE attacks like Weight of the Land, there are plenty of ways to make the game challenging without making it downright unfair for people with bad latency. Killing Titan hardmode was a complete stroke of luck.. inbetween spikes of crippling lag, my group had an attempt where the stars aligned and no one had lag for a few minutes, just long enough to kill him.. not very fun and exciting gameplay when you need to pray your team doesn't lag out into Weight of Land or Landslide.

I have been debating about, if they tuned down all the background crap in titan, since it has the most moving, latency and fps clogging crap if it would help a little, because I have not had any other problem with any of the other primals/dungeons as I have titan and I wonder if its over glorified graphics could also be making things worse.

I came to an NA server following 1.0 because I always thought my ISP was the culprit. I'm on the East Coast so the connectivity to Japan was a 200ms delay at best. That leaves very little time to react. In 1.0, I'd be far ahead of people on my screen while trying to dodge something and then I'd be the only one to get hit. My party members never blamed me for being bad because they saw my body SLIDE across the ground after I died... There was nothing I could do. I had to deal with it. So that's why I came to an NA server...

I'll be upgrading my internet tomorrow, but that isn't going to fix the mapping issue or the hiccups present when instances experience server congestion. There are a lot of issues with positioning. I was watching my boyfriend tank Titan last night. Because of his position, I had a front-row seat to everything that was going on. I would specifically pay attention to how well people were dodging weight of the earth. Sometimes, it would look like they were still in the circle when it exploded... and they were fine. Other times, it looked like they were far out of the circle and they still somehow got hit. It's odd, and the mapping isn't correct.

There are times I'll do Garuda hardmode and see every single party member standing in the 'safe' zone while dodging her frontal attack... and yet, someone still dies... there is no rhyme or reason to this. No lag. I saw them there long before even the server notified my client that the ability was going off. And then there's the infamous 'slides' people do... It's terrifying. I really wish this game was more reactive because I just love PvP and I can't see how PvP is going to be any good with these issues.

Completely agree with OP.
Here is a good one also, just as reported in beta, still not fixed: http://i.imgur.com/T9XxskI.jpg

I wonder will they put this into "working as intended" along with all the "instants" not working instantly etc.

That whole log is just... wow... such BS. Makes me cringe at what Endgame could look like.

@Silverwalk
Yeah, Right workaround sure let's see:
1)run in circles and hope my summon does all the damage
2)run in circles and let my party die because i can't heal them, "sorry i have to stay alive".
3)become a scripted bot and watch tv.
Please I'm waiting for the invite to your party and see how this "workaround" actually "works".

Hey I agree with you, it sucks.

Yea iv done that fight where i on my client hear our offtank interrupting his attack, before it goes off, but then it still goes off...i dont understand how thats possible..for me to have the data the offtank interrupted then it would have had to have gone through the server first and it should have processed it. :/

I have experienced something similar.
In my case it was Titan storymode. I saw the Thaumaturgist run outside the blue rectangle and further away (he continue running) and yet he was sliding down to the instant death. He then said "What! I was outside!". I could only confirm him.
But I can only see his position because the server tells me where he is (right?). So if the server tells me he is outside the area and he thinks he is outside, then why on earth is he still killed?

This has me puzzled.
