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

Are you geared and is your party not being idiots? If those are both the case you should NEVER die to WotL. As far as I've seen every AoE in the game has a timer on it and if you miss the timer you take the hit out of it or not this isn't going to change unless they completely remove AoEs. To move on to my point I took me 5 days but I dropped Titan on a SCH in full DL minus 1 piece and my Ifrit weapon I ate plenty of WotLs from misisng timers but they NEVER killed me unless some idiot stacked them or trapped me in a stack (left me at around 1440 easy heal). Your party should have a relative idea of the rotation so you should ALWAYS scatter our for WotL so the plumes don't stack than no one dies and if you don't know the rotation so well stay spread out in general if its not stomp or the circle bombs. Don't call it game breaking just because you haven't figured out how to work around it.

I really don't think you understand this thread. SE (as well as others such as yourself) keep trying to recognize it as a 'nerf titan' thread and therefore they can dismiss it. if you would please take the time to look back at some of the videos posted you will see that titan is being used as a glaring example to show that because of problems with the server updating players positions they are getting hit by aoe. please stop offering up the excuse that people should focus on the cast bar and not the red circle. there are several videos showing people out of the red circle before the cast bar finishes and getting hit.

what you are truly missing though is the main point. this positional update lag affects the ENTIRE game. therefore it affects targeting. it also affects say when a healer casts a spell and moves at about 80% completion, the spell will still go off. as far as I have seen, it affects me while I am questing and fighting against mobs that toss out red circles.

so why am I staying on if the game is so broken? because I am thinking that in order to start pvp they will have to fix this problem first. if they start up pvp and these lag problems still exist the resulting uproar will make this 100+ page thread look like a whimper.
