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

Having the right topic title might have helped.

If I say I'm going to discuss flowers (topic title: flowers), and I only discuss one particular flower's ecosystem, well maybe someone will think the topic is still flowers generally, not just THAT flower. Endgame is more than just avoiding aoes, and more than just Titan HM, for example.

While I do not disagree on proper formatting, many threads of more correct and exact titles had already existed with many of their own replies and opinions, possible fixes, etc; Those threads were equally ignored by SE, so as it is customary, a more provocative titles was used in hopes of grabbing attention. In terms of flowers, the mod did not just assume we were discussing one type of flower the mod saw flowers in the title and said 'So, I hear you're concerned about the environment'.

People are upset because the mod only bothered to read the title, that is like someone reading the cover of a book and guessing at the contents, they did not even read the dust-jacket. Format aside, there are other ways to know whether a thread might warrant more than a casual glance at the title, perhaps the three quarters of one hundred pages of concerned players wishing they could enjoy the game.

Defending anyone, especially someone who holds a position of authority and supposedly represents SE, for exhibiting this kind of at best, extreme laziness, at worst severe and debilitating incompetence, can only be an exercise in charity. One cannot blame the paint for the boat sinking, the rust should have been a clue.

Hmm.
I've no issues with dodging out of AoEs - usually have more than enough time to get out of titan's puddles (Weights) and linepunch.
No problem doing all of Coil either.

Some people might want to look into the TCP Lag Fix for MMOs that fixes the Windows registry for TCP usage - it might not fix everything but it will help on YOUR end to fix what YOUR windows isn't doing right for a TCP MMO.

ok you are lucky and have an awesome connection! woohoo. Too bad I'm not you or near where you live so I can hire the same internet provider. See the thing is that it isn't an issue with our computers but with some random servers in our path that lag like crazy. There is a thread about it in technical support. If you really care enough then you should head over there.

Out of curiosity, where are you located in relation to the servers and what is your ping time to them? What speed is your up/down? Do you have a link for 'TCP lag fix' i'm not well versed in it and is there some software you would recommend? Maybe a guide? I guess SE should have included this stuff in the instruction manual ><;

I did try pingzapper and it made no difference. I have a ping of around 85-95ms from London, UK to Ragnarok. I'm on fibre optic. Unlimited 76/19.

I don't have issues dodging AE's there, killed Titan multiple times eating 0. But there are plenty of other facts that point to server issues (such as the ones listed below), the most evident ones being with character position and casting times, actions, etc. And they are constant.

heya all,

I am having this same problem too. I am at a very low level, but even in the first few dungeons and questing in the world I kept getting hit by aoe and I was way outside of the red circle. so now at least I understand why.
I wanted to point something out. I think (correct me if necessary) that the elephant relates to an American style joke (I am American). if there is a HUGE problem and everybody ignores it we kind of say, 'it is like the elephant in the room'. because everybody will know if there is an elephant in the room, and they can try to ignore it all they can, but it is very obvious.
in a similar way, as I think the elephant joke person was trying to point out, SE can try to ignore this problem all they want, but it is huge and game breaking. aoe damage stuff is an integral part of the current game, and not being able to dodge it because of poor game coding/design is gonna drive people away.

That's exactly right. I love this game and I would love to stay here and play for the 10 year lifespan Yoshida wants to have for it. However, this issue is, as you said, very obvious and very game breaking. I hope the right people (not moderators) actually read this and take a hard look at what's going on and how this can really hurt them in the long run.

Wait, so did they actually unlock this thread? Awesome. Too bad they make zero mention of this being a problem, let alone any intent to fix it.

Dear Yoshi-P, dear Devs, dear SE,

Could you please take a bit of your time and respond to your community with regards to the delay in server response re: positioning (i.e. we see ourselves outside of the AOE but are still hit by it):

- is it working as designed?
- is it a known issue and SE is working on it? If yes, by when do you expect a resolution?

75 pages of simples questions requiring simple answers. Please do not leave us in the unknown any longer.
