Ooh, that reminds me of an odd quirk that happens a lot while I'm doing beastmen quests. I'll go to pick up the saltpeter (or whatever) all the while I'm jamming on my mount button. The action of picking up the saltpeter reaches completion, I get on my mount, and... the saltpeter is still on the ground... because apparently you need to wait a second between completing the saltpeter action before calling your mount or else it cancels the action of picking up the saltpeter EVEN THOUGH the game prevents you from calling your mount until the saltpeter action was complete. WTF?!

I really should just stop even trying to do levaithan ex. I just end up with i90+ dps who can't do anything right and tanks who think they're too cool to dodge charges.

Like, fucking give me out of range like you do at any distance beyond thator let me talk to them. Hate being forced to step 2 steps away for "mistiming" a fucking "talk to thing" check.

Similar to this, the retarded LoS quirks in T9 annoy me to no end when I'm trying to Shadowflare. Don't tell me it's ok to drop a Shadowflare only to have it cancel when I'm casting cause the target is obscured by absolutely fucking nothing.

Dear SE, make the ground flat pls

What's cool is when I run around trying to lay Soil for Megaflare and barely get it off in time. Hoping this fix is in 2.28.

DRG in Bray HM was doing 124 dps, as compared to the blm doing 300+

Ask him what he was doing to cause such low dps, Instantly kicked. elitist struggles

Titan ground is flat, doesn't prevent facepalms.. even in the HM one as of today. Real query should be "Dear SE, please put Bowling barriers and cushions on the edge of each fighting plateform pls.."

You're missing the point. There is flat ground in t9 that will line of sight your spells, just because.

Oh sorry

Anyone having weirdness lately with instances loading, all 8 people fully loaded in and not watching cutscenes, and yet the circle not breaking? Ended up leaving and eating the 30 minute penalty (which was fine, because it was time to start cooking dinner anyway).

**Niiro** · 2014-05-23 18:24

If you leave an instance before the little entry circle breaks you don't get the 30 min penalty.

(or was that fixed?)

Not sure, but I left with the circle intact and it gave me the penalty.

They fixed this over a week ago, unfortunately.

It's not I still quit np

Gotta check in progress

**Seravi Edalborez** · 2014-05-23 20:01

Yeah. You can't actually join an in progress instance via roulette. But if you check 'Join Party in Progress' you will not be kicked for leaving a DR instance.

Oh so that's the trick.

Did they change that? You used to be able to.

**Seravi Edalborez** · 2014-05-23 21:50

Around 2.15 or 2.16. It's easiest to see with main roulette. Try to find a CM or Prae inprog, try to queue inprog DR. Get only fresh runs.

Getting constant little lag spikes for the last week.

I've been getting them at around 7pm est and onwards. Shit is annoying, my connection to other services are fine, my ping to my server (not the instance) is showing fine, but shit skips about a lot.

Also brings up my hatred of spells hardcasting after you hit swift, to which the game cancels the skill for you instead of just accepting it as instant from there.
