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

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this in this very long thread, but maybe if it's mentioned every page or so someone might read it:

Yes, it seems like even if you move directly out of Weight of the Land as soon as it pops sometimes you get hit anyway (probably latency issue?).

HOWEVER, Titan attacks in set patterns. You should always know when Weight of the Land is about to go off. Just be moving already as it's cast and you will avoid it without problem.

Nothing affecting actual game results can be client side, or cheating begins immediately. What they probably do need is a bit more leeway in the cast times, they should be a bit longer to compensate for lag issues. Additionally, and I don't know how feasible this is, but having the clients issue a position update more often at least during certain parts of the game like boss fights in dungeons, could help.

Well there are games where there is no delay.
In these games, if you play with 2 accounts side by side, you wont notice ANY delay in what you see yourself doing and what the other person sees you doing. This is quite contrary to SE, where other people ALWAYS see you with at least 1 second delay.
White Knights will try to blame it on your skill/PC/ISP, or will say this is inevitable with an online game despite the overwhelming proof that they are wrong.

wish we could get a comment on this from anyone at SE... Would be nice to know, are they working on it? Do they consider it an issue? Do they just think we are all bad players?

weight of the land is casted randomly to 3 players....and with the problem at hand every1 is running around "avoiding it" ....and ppl die to it because that .

same goes for rocks , u see the order , move with the party, still get killed wtf?

I keep hoping that since this thread is now 27 pages and has been on the front page of general for a while that there will be some response. I may need to go check up on the thread in the bug reports to see if it has been investigated yet.

[Sneakaboo]

They have been investigating this issue since 1.0, I'm starting to get the feeling they aren't very good at solving the problem.

[Rydin]

To be fair to SE, Yoshi-p DID make a post about this on the BETA forums... He wasn't really saying shit... but he did reply, if that helps.
I've learned not to expect them to fix OR ignore the issue. Either one is a possibility... And either one is anyone's guess at this point

[ElunaMay]

I simply don't get it, all along they've been saying they want FFXIV to have that WoW like fluidity and Yoshi with his heavy MMO background I assumed the first thing he'd do is make it feel responsive.

Unless SE do something this is going to hurt them so badly in the long run, the glossy coat is beginning to wear off and people are starting to see the cracks.

During beta they were literally giving feedback on everything, no matter how small, now release is here and we can't get a response one way or the other on this game breaking oversight.

Oh i'm sure they know what the problem is and how to fix it, they just don't want to stop doing what they have been doing since they created FFXI: Code the game against RMT and Botters. The game goes through WAY too many server side checks on the character which make you lag behind i'm sure. Can see it with gathering and how the UI responds after each gather attempt. WoW did it right and created a client side system that checks for illegal mods or client modification and sends the needed info to the right people to get the bans/legal action going, which doesn't cause your connection to the servers to lag or delay to any noticable level and still catches cheaters. Its in the EULA. This game is going to continue to fail if SE doesn't adopt a client based cheat check and position so people can play comfortably.

blizzards coding, aside from graphical prowess (some may argue even this because wow was designed to have hundreds if not thousands of charactors on screen at once without bogging down), is light years beyond anything se even thought of doing
