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

While I am completely fine with dodging mechanics and think they are great for the game, I can halfway agree that the developers rely way too heavily on the mechanic of dodging itself over more strategic play can start to get old. Even gets ridiculous sometimes. Like I said, I think dodging mechanics are great, but I think developers can be a little more clever on how they use it.

Haven't subbed.

And I will not sub until they give us, AT LEAST, an answer on this.
I'm not asking them to "FIX THIS NOW!!1!", I just want acknowledgement.

It adds to the difficulty factor at least.

But it makes dodging near-impossible at times. I can't remember the last time I dodged a magitek ray in CM unless I was already moving.

It's not just Titan, it's also story mode NMs like Ultima Weapon and primals, Ifrit for example. SE has assured us that with the new data-centers, delay wouldn't be a problem. Well, in any case or battle, when have you suffered from AoE 1-2 sec after clearing it before it goes off?

I'm my experience, 100% of the time unless you "use an instant action to register you position"... how does that work?

Yaay, I beat the story mode finally but not sure I'll stick around to pay a sub. Hope this gets SE's attention! Good luck everyone. Remember to support each other before SE can take the wax out their ears,lol!

No but it doesn't really hit home until you are doing Titan as you can live through being hit although it is annoying in all the other situations. Stone Vigil was hell with the issues as well >.< I was lucky and a happy, helpful, understanding DF group dragged me through. People just aren't so forgiving when they get to Titan it seems

And yes just some acknowledgement that SOMETHING is being done would be nice. The other thread I am tracking about not buying Titan wins... I wonder how many people wouldn't have brought wins if not beaten down by this.

I've had an annoying delay issue occasionally when doing AK runs. When fighting the Demon Wall, once in a while he'll do his Repel, and then nothing happens so I'll assume I wasn't repelled (which can happen once in a while with my pld). Then about 2 seconds later as I'm starting to move to avoid the floor gunk, I'll be completely flung off the platform. The annoying thing is that right after the Repel I will see everyone else being flung backwards, which is what makes me think I was unaffected by the blast.

where is our reply SE? over 80 pages now and not one comment. if ANYTHING in this game deserves a response from the top it is this issue of 'positional latency' (i will call it this).

i really wanna see them release pvp with this problem going on. that is gonna be a hoot.

at least tell the community what kind of plans you have to fix this problem. i know it affects the endgame for everybody, but in case nobody has noticed it, affects many other simple things, and it even affects dodging small amounts of damage from mobs outside of dungeons too.

Working on my third relic.

The times per second location is checked is clearly varied (prob for load balancing server use).
Test this by casting something and moving... and seeing how many decimals of a second pass before your spell is interrupted.

I usually see about .1 now a days (100 ms), a month ago it was easily 300 ms.

That means you had to be 300 MS ahead, and we still killed it. Easier now.

You are either slow, or laggy (pc or net lag).

I will assume slow. People overestimate their own ability to react because they can not perceive reacting faster (shocking). Thus thinking you moved as soon as possible. Just as people with faster reaction times have difficulty perceiving being unable to not react fast enough (and yelling at people for failing). Although practice helps because novel stimuli are perceived slower, the overall neural efficiency of a person might be a limit.

But the challenge can be fun for people who can do it... Can't make everyone happy.

Some idiotic statements.

It's not fun... it's stupid

[ashikenshin]

It's not fun... it's stupid

agree completely. Also agree that his statements were idiotic. I managed to dodge everything in WoW, I managed to beat every game since the nes. Yet MOVING is apparently difficult to me in this game. Yeah that doesn't work, my abilities and everyone else's in this game aren't what's wrong.
