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

Upgrading ur dl/up wont change anything as u wont get better ping with more dl/up... only fibre or better routing can get u better ping unless u had like 516kb upload and 1mbit dl then u cud prob see an improvement in ping.

There is another way but thats most unlikely and that is when u upgraded they placed u somewhere else which had better routing... but like i said its very unlikely.

Thats not true, because some ISP try to cheat on their customers and limit the connection. It makes perfect sence if he paid for a better package he noticed better preformance...

Hi all,

As posted elsewhere before, we are investigating issues that might be caused by ISPs classifying FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn as P2P software.

To give us a clearer view on how widespread this issue is, it would be much appreciated if everyone who experienced such issues could post the following information as a reply to this thread:

- Name of ISP
- Country of Residence
- When does the problem occur (always, only during specific times?)
- Reference number from your ISP, if you raised this matter with them

Again, my apologies for the trouble this is causing and thank you for your cooperation!
- Aethingie

But if they want to get getting that money they will have to do something about it. Western audiences don't take shit if they don't think they're getting their money's worth, we whinge and whine, and since this whole re-release was to get in more westerners.. well, yeah.

I like the game a lot, and I think they did an amazing job rebuilding it so much better from 1.0.

But I won't be subscribing.
I won't because of the terrible lag and impossibility to avoid AoE and because of the terrible, old, outdated and frustrating RNG loot system (at the moment, I've over 60 kills on Ifrit and 18 on Garuda - not a single lance ever dropped. I know people who have more runs than me).

I will surely subscribe when those problems are fixed.
Until then, I'd play some other MMO. And I hope they fix them before I lose interest and start playing something else.

This is how the majority of my LSs and FCs feel. Really hoping SE gets their act together because I really want to like this game.

There's no problem here. Its working as intended. Its not the animation that register hit, its the AOE and the cast bar.

If you're still inside the AOE when the cast bar finish, i'll get hit. Otherwise it will be a super easy game because the animation of AOE move is super slow. You want to beat hard content, just learn and play better instead of making a thread and complaining about how the game doesnt work as you want.

The only issue i see is people want the fight easy, too many casual players think about getting relic weapon is a right and justice without paying hard work. When they're bad they'll make a thread and complain instead of more training and win the fight.

Please stop asking for an easier game.

Do you feel a better player now? Ok, now go away.

Bla bla bla one more poster that doesn't really know what the problem is.

Uhh, I guess you're one of the people who didn't actually read this thread again are you?
There are pictures / videos that are showing people out of the AOE's while the cast bar isn't finished yet. My God, people needs to stop posting in this thread if they aren't gonna read the
real problem that is happening. Can you show me a post that is asking for the fights to be nerfed or made easy? why do all of you people say we want the fights to be easier? maybe you guys are the one who wants it to be easier since you people are the one bringing this up >_>.

Why are people so Ignorant?

Another troll who cannot read. Another fale elitist spoiling the forum and not reading anything before positing (you are a drama queen)
Funny how many people stuck out of the aoe and notice it's out of sync. Yet 3 or 4 jerks comes and "oooh i like it this way even if it's broken it's fine by me". When you are affected by a disease you go ask a doctor for medication. You don't stick with it.
Again this post and every post treating the same topic is asking for the animation to be sync with the cast bar! This post and every post about that precise topic asking to SE to refresh the position better than 0.3 sec and to not let those who were casting within the aoe, wipe because the server consider them still casting inside the aoe whenever you are out and the spell interrupted! We aren't requesting a NERF neither to make it EASY. We are asking for a better coding!

[Sneakaboo]

Wait are you claiming that getting the relic weapon is actually something not casual?


Truth is that when you design a game around a 0.3 delay you cap the difficulty.
By having this you remove certain reflex aspects of MMO's.
You simply can't have mechanics that require a certain speed because the server can't update that fast.

We can all agree that if you would remove the 300ms Titan (and other bosses) would be a complete push over.
The poor coding is making fights more challenging than that they really are.


When you are allowed to run before an ability hits it just shows that the DD and HPS check is low and that the mechanics are to predictable.
In some way you could say it encourages 'bad play' since most mmo's punish this type of behaviour by either wiping the raid or making it hard to hit an enrage timer.

A realm reborn sacrifices a lot of fun raid concepts for the sake of server checks, when latency is the biggest challenge on encounters you went some where wrong during your game design.
Latency should be something people should not experience much up to 250 ms.
I've also no idea why they can't sync the cast of bosses, it looks bad.

That said titan with 450 ping is still doable ,if you can run properly you don't even need to pre run.
The biggest issue I've seen on titan has been the lag spikes killing people , caused because of the duty finder being over loaded.
It says enough the queues are so long for an instance, most modern games don't have this.


It's a shame some people still want to talk the latency right, since in the end you are asking for an easier game with less complicated/reflex based mechanics.
Just because it sounds 'pro' to play a game with a build in 300ms on top of your own latency.

I don't have fun with the endgame here. I come away frustrated due to AoEs being overly difficult to dodge because of asinine limitations. 300ms. By design. I'm still unable to believe that nonsense made it to launch. That's just pathetic, SE! On another note.. take a hint from the flop that was neverwinter. Every boss fight there was a single mechanic that burnt people out (more adds) and here 'Dice roll against the red spot and hope you're lucky' seems to be the every fight mechanic. Nice for bards who never have to stop to DPS or other classes that DPS on the go but did you consider the hell us black mages have to endure in your rediculous AoE heavy fights constant movement fights? With 300ms? We can't compete.
