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

[Sneakaboo]

This is unfortunately one of the reasons I won't be subscribing, it's not just the AOE recognition being off, it has an impact on so many frustrating things


- I interrupt myself constantly when interacting with objects because as I right click it, the server thinks I'm still moving and interrupts me
- I can't ever cancel my spells when I wish to, a pretty common healing method is to preheal and cancel the cast if the target doesn't receive damage, once again half my casts finish when I cancel it a good half second before the end
- Players rubber-band everywhere, I can't imagine what PvP is going to be like with this delay and it was one of my main pulls towards the game
- Instant casts don't feel instant at all, the knock back on CNJ feels so sloppy and unresponsive for example

I'm sorry SE but if you want 9 pounds a month from me, then you've gotta match the competition, and sorry but you're currently lightyears behind WoW in this department, I realise I'll get hate for comparing FFXIV to WoW, but I honestly don't feel anyone who is honest can state that this game matches the fluidity of WoWs combat.

The sad thing is all I need is a little reassurance from SE that they recognise this an issue, instead Mods just seem to post on petty subjects that are nowhere near as gamebreaking as this one.

Agreed with this one, but they aren't going to fix it.
At best they nerf the hell out of content.
If this was considered unacceptable by them they would have fixed it in the alpha/beta.

If they considered this important they would not have put the EU and the US in the same data centre in freaking Canada.
They didn't even bother with having the animation in sync with the cast.

Yes you,me and others might think the delays are horrible, but an equal amount of people think it's 'skill' to battle the lag.
Each their own fun I guess.

I don't think most people want to give this game a shot if they see this type of delay issues, it is also bad reputation.

But I doubt SE cares much about that anyway.

I really hope that isn't the case. I want this game to be the MMO I play for years.

Either way, keep spreading the word. Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Gamespot, various forums, etc. It may push SE to act on this ridiculous delay lag attached to everything.

I hope you're wrong since I fell in love with the game. I want to hold out hope that the syncing issue will be addressed and fixed. It would really break my heart if this becomes "working as intended".

Don't worry - I feel the same way. But, I believe that it is in SE's interest to fix this huge flaw. We just have to find constructive ways to let them know that it is becoming an very large impediment to enjoying such a wonderful game.

You'd be surprised how many resources a development team that boasts a healthy income and a positive but critical player base has. Something as large as fixing the net coding can be done.

This is a very popular issue with online games. If you look at the evolution of netcoding in fighting games over the last generation of consoles you will see a HUGE improvement (designers just have to learn from their mistakes.) Usually it takes a new instalment of the game for the issue to be fixed, but that is the beauty of MMOs. They can patch a significant change in if they have the resources to.

I don\\'t see how you have hope.

Someone said earlier that SE only comments on petty topics and they are right. SE\\'s one English speaking forum representative. Only posts that he let the designer know that people want a mount tune for magitek. Oh and a Lala\\'s hairstyle was fixed for wearing a hat.

No post however on this or the people who got hacked. Don\\'t worry though. They fixed AK

Customer service at its finest.

I might come back in a year if there is a larger player base than 1.0 but I\\'m doubtful with all the issues the gameplay has.

Sorry. Just upset

Very nice. Thanks for the links.

[Silverwalk]

Please read this post from early last year.

Lag fixed, please look forward to it!

Keep the hope alive

Edit: To summarize, this bug was present in 1.0 and officially recognized in 2011. In the above post on these forums it was stated that it would be fixed in 2.0

SE says this in their forums and in interviews at that time.

Why? Because I can't dodge the @#$%ing AoE. After hours of practicing in the duty finder and then going in with my free company I still failed over and over again.

Call me slow, I don't care. I don't think I'm slow. 80% of the time I made it. The other 20% of the time, I would think I made it, but then BAM WEIGHT TO THE FACE.

stop listening to ur dubsteps while fighting Titan and pay attention, thnx

[Alindra]

I had this issue with Titan when it first came up in my story quest. Eventually the stars aligned, and I got through it on a fight where the attack never landed on me, or anyone else who was having this issue, to begin with. But I almost quit the game right then because of this fight, and I dread having to do it at end game, or even to help out some of my lower level friends when they get to it.

I don't know anything about end game at this point, but if its required for me to do this fight at end game, it will be the reason I quit playing.
