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

Argumentum ad Ignorantiam - try again.

Okay, how about this.


Call it whatever you want. It doesn't make me any less correct. Wiggle your fingers at SE, blame their servers and terrible Game Design philosophy all you like.

So someone points out a flaw in your argument and your response is "LOL WHATEVER THAT MEANS, U KNOW IM RIGHT"
Either you haven't been reading the 173 pages of evidence, or you are blatantly trolling.

Actually, third possibility...

Were you dropped as a child? Honestly curious.

Hey ppl,

I started FF XIV 2 Weeks ago and the first thing i (and a friend who started at the same time) noticed is a ~0.5 sec delay. This delay can be seen if you cast a spell watch the cast time (at 0.5 on the clock) take a step, the cast still finishes...
The same delay is used at the AOE effects on the ground. Watch the cast bar of enemy, time around 0.5, step out and you get hit.
On the other side do i use the delay for me, i cast a spell (heal 2.5s cast time) and at around 0.5s i start moving a little because the cast finishes anyway.
I dont want to know how this delay is in end-game dungeons where the cast times are 1s and not 2-3s like in the low dungeons.

Btw. this delay is the main reason that my friend and i will stop playing FF XIV. So no abo for us Maybe we will take a second look on ff xiv in 6monther or so, but for a 2010+ game this delay is too much of a stopper for us.

I don't see why people are still crying and pointing fingers at SE.

They've already stated in previous letters of the producer that they acknowledge there is an issue with lag in encounters. They already implemented a temporary fix to end-game fights like Titan.

It's temporary while they work on the over-arcing bigger issue with their servers. I don't know if you've noticed, but they do a lot of data center maintenance. I'm sure this is not rocket science, but I think it can be presumed that they are actively working toward a much better, larger, fix that will impact the parts of the community the temporary fix did not relieve.

TL;DR Be patient, or unsub and come back when it's better. Not much you can do until they're finished.
