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

[Sneakaboo]

This is unfortunately one of the reasons I won't be subscribing, it's not just the AOE recognition being off, it has an impact on so many frustrating things


- I interrupt myself constantly when interacting with objects because as I right click it, the server thinks I'm still moving and interrupts me
- I can't ever cancel my spells when I wish to, a pretty common healing method is to preheal and cancel the cast if the target doesn't receive damage, once again half my casts finish when I cancel it a good half second before the end
- Players rubber-band everywhere, I can't imagine what PvP is going to be like with this delay and it was one of my main pulls towards the game
- Instant casts don't feel instant at all, the knock back on CNJ feels so sloppy and unresponsive for example

I'm sorry SE but if you want 9 pounds a month from me, then you've gotta match the competition, and sorry but you're currently lightyears behind WoW in this department, I realise I'll get hate for comparing FFXIV to WoW, but I honestly don't feel anyone who is honest can state that this game matches the fluidity of WoWs combat.

The sad thing is all I need is a little reassurance from SE that they recognise this an issue, instead Mods just seem to post on petty subjects that are nowhere near as gamebreaking as this one.

Agreed with this one, but they aren't going to fix it.
At best they nerf the hell out of content.
If this was considered unacceptable by them they would have fixed it in the alpha/beta.

If they considered this important they would not have put the EU and the US in the same data centre in freaking Canada.
They didn't even bother with having the animation in sync with the cast.

Yes you,me and others might think the delays are horrible, but an equal amount of people think it's 'skill' to battle the lag.
Each their own fun I guess.

I don't think most people want to give this game a shot if they see this type of delay issues, it is also bad reputation.

But I doubt SE cares much about that anyway.
