    Even as someone who's cleared the current raid tier there was still good information to learn from this. It'll be phenomenal help to all the new players coming in, hopefully one of the big streamers shows this vid so it can get even more views by those who need it. Not sure if it's a basic but perhaps you could go into the idea of slidecasting as well in a future video in relation to OGCDS/GCDs and clipping with snapshots.

    • @rithli
      @rithli  3 года назад +5

      I considered including slidecasting, but I felt that got a little too specific, even if the guide wasn't really directed at new players. In a future video perhaps!

    • @raventhorX
      @raventhorX 3 года назад +3

      Not sure what slidecasting is but does that have anything to do with the slight delay right before the castbar finishes where you can actually move without risking the cast being cancelled? I've noticed something like this before occasionally when playing caster classes but not sure if that was internet issues on my end or part of the intended lag the game makes you play under.

    • @TheBigManJohn

    @fredxu99 3 года назад +19

    This is an incredibly important video, since some aspects of FF14's gameplay can be a bit unintuitive (like snapshots and delays). But once you get it down, the flow of combat feels really good with greeding, you just feel like a badass with dodging.

    This video is honestly fantastic. I love brushing up on the basics and fundamentals of FFXIV so I can remember how to play certain classes and so on. The only gripe I have about this video is that the visuals make it feel a tiny bit spoiler-y? I have a friend who's going through Stormblood's initial MSQ right now, wanting to catch up to my other friends and I at the end of Shadowbringers. I'd love to show him this because I know he has a little trouble with some of his inputs/timing, but I *also* don't want to advertise to him "Hey, you'll be fighting Redux Primals during Eden's 8-man raids, the Omega 8-man raids have bosses from a whole slew of other Final Fantasy games, and Hades *probably* looks like he's the end boss of an expansion because he *probably* is," and stuff.
    That's just my own personal gripe, and I know some of the tougher fights in the game are the only ones that USE some of these mechanics for the sake of demonstration during this video; that they don't present themselves prior anywhere in A Realm Reborn or Heavensward. I still really love this video regardless. The presentation of the video is smooth, clean, no distracting elements anywhere that are unnecessary, and the music! Oh my god, I love the music so much. It fits perfectly for keeping a clean mind and straight forward attitude in regards to paying attention and learning, listening.

    Even as someone, who already knew the Terms in the Video, I enjoyed watching it because the Presentation was just so Darn good. Great Work!

    I initially began playing tank when I watched your Big Pulls video a while back. I found the advice of standing on the edge between the flank and rear helpful this time, as I've started playing Dragoon more. Also, I'm super happy to see you still teaching new players!

    I'm quite happy that I already knew all of this... What a fantastic video to share with the plethora of people coming into the game though!

    Thank you so much for that tankswap one! I see so many tanks who try to slam out a swap after the cast bar finishes and then wonder why it didn't work. Had to explain to numerous people that you're actually supposed to swap during the castbar.
    To be fair, the game doesn't make this apparent to many people, which is why I don't get mad about it.

    I absolutely love this, and absolutely second what others have said (wonderful visual guide to weaving and burst windows, great explanation of snapshots). Thank you for making guides that are easy to understand and visualize!

    This is the kind of stuff the "Hall of Novices" should be showing people once they've gotten their brand new set. It'd be nice if they had some sort of primer like this when unlocking the first ex trials just so people at least have an idea how to move. Very well done video. Hopefully it spreads quickly.

    FFXIV Vet of 9 years, knew everything shown, and STILL watched the whole thing because it was just so well done. Awesome video. Definitely getting a sub from me.

    pretty amazing. I wish it had touched uptime and it's importance but these principles would definetly increase uptime in an organic way

    This video just looks great visually - it actually looks like a tutorial screen that you see in a AAA title help menu.

    Gonna expand on the snapshot concept a bit...
    Part of the reason the game does the snapshot thing is that the server "tick" time (the interval at which the server processes content and executes both player and non-player actions/responses) is around 300 ms, which is a huge time span for a MMO, but mechanics visuals are client-side, not server-side, and while they're _triggered_ by server commands _the visuals are not directly bound to server tick time._
    _This means that you MUST anticipate a third of a second in advance of any action that requires your reaction._
    This is what produces the snapshot effect on everything non-targeted - every ~300ms the server does its position checks, etc. and if you're within range of a mechanic that's going off at that instant in time you're getting hit, and it won't matter how far away from the mechanic it may look like you are _on your end_ when it goes off. You could be halfway across an arena and get nailed if you covered that distance.
    On the upside, you can also exploit this behavior if you have a fast enough ping with the server, and use it to get hits in before the mob you're fighting can execute its actions. A common use case for this is landing stuns or other forms of cast disruption on a mob, which can be used to repeatedly and reliably stunlock an annoying mob or an annoying cast from a mob (e.g., High Voltage, the arena-wide paralysis, from the modes in the Binding Coil series). There's also a visual side-effect: throwing a lunge move or similar when a mechanic is about to go off (so your move starts as the mechanic ends) can make it look like you're flying into it while its visuals are firing client-slide, as was shown in the video.
