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

First, this is a unique sort of proof that might show them there really is an issue. You should provide some timestamped screenshots, since SE might not watch a video.

You're right but I can't spend any more time on this and I don't believe anything can change the minds of those who are convinced it's the players fault. Not that they matter, the devs already know it's a problem but whether they can fix it is another matter. I suspect it is just too hard at this point.

The other person testing this with me is in the same room and I can see their screen. It's amazing to watch how much lag there is between our two screens! I haven't seen any sign of server prediction in this game

The last few days I've been trying to find any way to minimize the lag and make the game more playable, the results are in my earlier post:

I tested WTFast, Battleping and Lowerping. They do help a bit and every bit helps. I don't live in North America or Japan and I have the best ISP in my country so that's my only option to improve ping.

Another thing that helps is stopping at the edge of the AOE, don't keep running. I tested this with fraps and if you keep running you can still get hit by the damage. If you stop at the edge of the AOE you don't get hit, with the cast bar at the same place. I assuming that this is because stopping sends a position update to the server. Using an ability also helps but stopping is enough. You can stand right at the edge of the AoE and not take damage, for everything that I could test.

I also noticed there was a short delay recorded by fraps between the cast bar starting and the AoE ground effect appearing. Lowering the graphics settings reduces this delay (!). I am using a Radeon 7870 graphics card and I lowered it from High (Desktop) to Standard (Desktop) with Depth of Field off in both cases. Every bit helps.

Hopefully these things might help in the event that the developers do not fix it. Personally I hope they don't nerf the encounters. All I want is that the server recognizes that I avoided the AoE on my computer, nothing more and nothing less.
