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

[Shiros]

This right here...

The day someone starts working on something has nothing to do with things not properly working. It took me two~three attempts to understand the fight fully. I know the fight completely. Stop being ignorant to the fact that I'm not complaining about learning the fight or asking for it to be easy. I'm asking for the issue where people avoid aoes and still get hit to be fixed. No amount of knowing a fight will save anyone from that issue. I'm glad you don't have to deal with it but don't try to tell me that it is not the issue.

If this happen in ifrit fight where 90% of the floor is cover by the aoe, please tell me how to "memorize & learn" where to stand before the boss cast the spell?

I wonder, how they're going to laugh with .3s delay.

Possibly, because everyone is experiencing the delay (not ping, but how frequently the server updates), it might be a level battle field. There will be some actions you can't dodge and others that you can. Of course, circle-strafing will probably become the norm and mages will be uber-mad.

I'm not calling anyone wow-kiddies, so neither side should take this as that but the problem is that people come from combat, in so many games where the entire fight, once you know it, is darn-near macroable. People see that they need to memorize Titan and challenge accepted, they do! Others realize what this combat is supposed to be and what the red zones and other dangerous looking zones are supposed to mean (IE, if you're not in them, you're safe), and are rightfully upset that we're supposed to go back to the same old scripted fights.

Still no response from the cm... all they need to is watch that Titan video to understand that this isn't a skill issue -_-

This is not WoW. There will be no circle strafing in PVP. Your character will *always* turn automatically to face the character even if they're behind you.

Anyone who has pvp'd for more than a few minutes in any other mmorpg before knows that this lag will be a severe impediment to any class that relies on an interrupt.

It works fine! You just have to pull this lever, kick the dash, honk 3 times, NOT FOUR, push this button, that's it hold it, and now we turn the key! See works great!

The 'white knights' sound just like used car dealers, yes you can make something function at minimal capacity with tricks and workarounds, not the point, I am buying something, it should work without all the tricks.

I love that analogy. You don't actually need that clutch. Good drivers just shift at high RPM without the clutch. If you grind the gears it's because you're bad.

You don't turn to face them to move while you're casting. I mean, of course you face them when you cast, but if they run around to your back, you don't turn to them, do you?

We're not talking about ping, we're talking about how frequently the server updates your positioning, and if both people are experiencing that, it might cancel each other out.

Unfortunately, not all people live near servers.

Agree with what -Magister said.
Yet, this thread after so long and so many pages, no one from SE rep dare to acknowledge the issue or communicate with the player base.
Such disappointment for the so called AAA game studio which charging monthly sub.
Not to mention that other F2P/B2P dev replies and communicate with player base more often and faster than SE.
