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

I wish PvP would come out sooner rather than later as that will definitely open the eyes of a lot of the non believers. Such low temporal resolution (~300 ms) in a modern day mmo is totally unacceptable, anyone who has played a Black Mage can see that things are not WAI or at least as advertised by playing around with astral/umbral stacks and that has nothing to do with cast bars or movement.

Get Umbral 3, cast Fire 3, and then cast Fire 1 immediately. If you do it fast enough, you can cast both spells with the 50% haste because the client is not informed of the fact that your Umbral 3 stacks are gone from the server. In this case it's advantageous to the player, though hardly makes up for the times such lag is disadvantageous to the player. It's also funny sometimes you cast your Fire 1 with 50% haste and then it slows down in mid cast when the server managed to tell your client 'no more haste!' on time.

While those are probably bad examples, I've already posted proper screenshots a few pages back if you even bothered reading the thread.

You can't phrase a question like 'can anyone get out of AE at 99% cast bar?' because someone will always claim they can, because they'd think they're good. Rather you need to frame the question in a negative way, like "Is there someone who can NEVER finish casting a spell while moving while I can do it like a champ every time?" After all, if you can get out of an AE at 99%, that means you're actually always in sync with server, and if you're always in sync with server, then you can never move and cast because that's only possible when you're out of sync with the server. If you can never move and finish casting, then you have no server lag.

It's already been noted in this thread that those are not the best examples precisely for the reason you just highlighted. Other examples that show the issue have been posted.

I invite you to do the same pause and screencap method for both the videos I clipped from Turn 2 Coil here:

http://www.twitch.tv/sunarierymshek/c/3084552
http://www.twitch.tv/sunarierymshek/c/3084630

Even though I hesitated during the first one, it still illustrates the issue just fine if you pause it.

Yours would be much better examples for the OP.

I have started filing ingame bug reports with descriptive text about the issue and a link to this thread as evidence. I would suggest the rest of you do the same thing.

Now that's said - Page 117 and still no dev response. Someone needs to get in on those live developer streams and bombard it with questions about fixing this game breaking bug/defect so that it has to be answered.

If the cast bar is gone, then the red circle/animation should also be gone.
There should be no margin of error between the two.
There isn't in other, older games, so it really isn't acceptable in 2013.

I don't get how people think it's acceptable that your screen is often rendering a very inaccurate portrait of what's happening in the world. It's not just limited to Titan, but having a false rendition of the world is just especially glaring on a fight with very tight time limits to get out of near instant kill abilities. In any other game, if you attempt to tell people "but I dodged that!', nobody would believe you because it's a fundamental assumption that cast bar/telegraph area are in sync in a MMORPG. But this game, it's definitely a very valid thing to say, and that's precisely what's wrong with the game.

A thought crossed through my mind when the dots have an universal tick timer for everyone so does the position check also tick with universal timer.
So player who do not experience this lag got lucky with the tick timer aligning perfectly with the abilities and timers shown on screen.

Thats how SE works...

Seems there is no Problem anymore couse no one else posts on an older thread so we (SE) desides to close it.

Still no developer response? Of any kind? Not even a "We realize this is an issue and are working on a resolution"? It's not like anyone expects this to be fixed overnight, but it would be nice for SE to at least acknowledge the issue.
