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

Again i dont think its the games problem. You just think you are out of the bad when you havent even moved because when you are 280ms or worse, by the time you see the red areas, its actually already complete, but your connection is showing it to you too late. You move,but on your screen ur out, but to the games eyes, you havent moved at all. also, i can stand with one foot still in the red and not take dmg, so your claim that the areas are larger than the images is false, you have to remember that the very Center of your character,is where the game makes the distinction of in or out of the red circle, and that was because of the size difference between gaylafell, and Roegs.
show me videos all you want, but it doesnt prove anything, because your posting videos where your pings are so horrible, that it holds no merit to the complaint. i can make an exact replica video at 24ms, and ill dodge it every time, and you will not, so that explains a lot more.

Yet we are still to see any said videos of people dodging moves @99%.
We are yet to see any videos or screenshots of spell interrupts under 100ms.
We are yet to see truly instant fall damage.

For those claiming that there are no issues, I would kindly ask any of you to record yourselves dodging WotL at the last second, or running in a straight line and spamming Esuna or Choco whistle and get immediate interrupts.

If you guys are seriously getting NO latency here, then please back that up. All of the people that argue that there is no problem are currently only arguing with words. It's a huge problem for a lot of people, so obviously it is an issue worth raising and adressing.

Once again, while ping DOES have some weight on whether you have issues or not, even people with exceptional ping and super computers will have latency due to the large number of server side checks, and the long intervals between these checks.

So yes, of course someone with 24ms is going to dodge better then someone with 240ms, and while lower ping may be playable, saying there is NO lag is not true.

The actual fact of the matter is that pretty much everything is done server side.
If more checks were brought over to client side, like any decently responsive MMO has done - then this would not be a huge problem whether you had 24ms or 500ms..

Watch this video, especially the second half - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3leMnErroL0

This is what my game looks like all the time and I'm sitting on a 100mbit fiber connection with a high end pc. I brought a couple of friends with me to ffxiv, which I have played MMO's with for several years, including games like WoW, Aion, Tera, Rift, Guild Wars and Warhammer. None of us have ever had any trouble with those games, yet all of us are having this same exact problem with ffxiv. I don't know if it's mainly a European issue or if it might be that some servers are effected and others not, because all of us play on Shiva (EU).

I think the problem right now is that everyone is using Titan as an example, which seems to be a beatable boss even with this delay. But what will happen when we get further into the game and harder bosses show up. Do we have to wait for that unbeatable boss befor we can raise our concerns?

It isn't 2002 anymore SE, you can't just port FFXI's netcode over to XIV and everything be OK.

I'll post again.

Me dodging WotL at 99%. I do not doubt that some people do not enjoy the same latency as I can in the UK.

This was as close as I could get to interrupt under 100ms

They nerfed the damage radius of wotl. You can stand where you were standing at 70% and take 0 damage. So no, you didn't dodge the damage area at 90%, you dodged it at around 60%

To be fair that video only has about 17 pixels in it so he might have dodged at 90%, or that might be a video of cats jumping on a trampoline, really can't say. Video aside Namko still doesn't understand the issue and so incorrectly thinks that because he sometimes doesn't notice the latency, that it isn't an issue for everyone (it is).

I'll repeat an earlier offer for anyone who is still confused: Post a video showing your character successfully canceling say, 8 spell casts in a row, with less than .3s remaining, and I'll be happy to buy you a 3-month sub. This is extremely easy to do in any other MMO, so unless FFXIV has the worst latency in the industry (it does), it should be extremely easy to do here.

[CatofNineTails]

watched the video you start moving out long before the 90% mark so the servers actually thought you left at about 60% stopping at the edge was evidence the server did not update properly before the skill went off.

That's nice, dear. Chances are you moved out of the AoE before it appeared on your screen and then moved back in when it was done casting, which allowed you to avoid taking damage.
