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

The point of this thread imo is that if you move out of the red it shouldn't matter when you did it. If you are out of the attack you should not get hit, even if it was the last 50 milliseconds. THat's where people are complaining about the way it's designed and how latency affects it. I'm not saying I can't do this or that, just that the latency issue exists where you get it by it even though you are clearly not in it, I saw it on chimera, I saw it on hydra, I see it in AK on the first/second/third boss, I've seen it in every piece of content I've done.

So like others have stated I just move before it even happens my predicting it, which isn't always possible as some fights randomly cast stuff.

The red seriously needs to be synced with the cast bar for a true indicator. Because of the server lag, it doesn't even show until the cast is already 1/4 or more completed.

Above the titan 's HP, you see the skill cast bar right? if you avoid it before the cast bar reach its end point, then you dodge it.

Please explain the video below from 6:20- 6:24 According to you he should have dodged it. He didn't, why? This is what people are talking about.

At 6:21 landslide cast begins
At 6:22 player leaves aoe with cast bar at 75%
At 6:24 player is hit by landslide and knocked off

Pretty much this. I certainly don't mind L2P comments, but what I can't understand them in the context of videos like this. I guess I'm just mystified by "the problem is you, not SqEx" when there's a mountain of evidence that it's actually the reverse. Trolls will be trolls, perhaps?

In this link the guy moves rather late. You should be premoving on ripples and know when its coming and you will won't get hit.

Whether he moves late is not the point. The point is that he successfully moved out of the AoE before the cast ended, but still got hit. If you could show me how he was still standing inside the area when it went off, I'd say you were entirely right. But you can't, can you. All you can say is "yes, he was outside the area of effect before the effect went off, but still got hit." Basically, you're advocating working around a problem with the game. OK, fair enough. There's a lot to be said for that. Sort of a "If you can't work around the Titan issues, don't queue for Titan." Heck, I agree with you. On the other hand, w're advocating fixing the problem. I wonder why you appear to be against this? Surely you must be of the mind "work around this issue, but I agree they need to fix it"?

Personally, I've cancelled my sub. This is a great game, but I'm tired of having to anticipate everything before I even see the cast. I did this in my hardcore days of raiding, but now I work, have a family, and just play MMOs for fun. I'll stick with WoW HM raids and Challenge Modes until SqEx fixes this. Sad too, because WoW is really getting old and FFXIV:ARR has been a blast everywhere except endgame content.

Exactly the same boat here mate, I love so much about this game, but I'm not paying a sub for laggy servers

I have never been hit by an AoE that I didn't know I was going to get hit by. The second video you can watch him loiter in the circle. If you honestly don't think he was going to get hit I don't know what to tell you.

And if you honestly don't think the delay is unacceptably long... then... I don't know what to tell you
