Again, it's in regards to the oddball lag and latency that seems to plague FFXIV as a whole. It's annoying enough when you're trying to teleport or change zones or anything mundane like that. It's extra annoying (and sometimes terrifying) when it happens in combat, especially in dungeons.
However, there's a special annoyance and upset that I get when it happens during RP. Quadruply so if it leads into a sudden and seemly random disconnect (though that same multiplication occurs when it's a combat scenario too, ogod. I'm gonna come back and everyone's gonna be dead...Â). I mean, come on! I'm trying to roleplay here, game! I'm not even doing anything graphically intensive or anything!
LEAVE ME ALONE.
Motherfluffin' PREACH! Â It always makes me pause for a moment in panic, like "Oh crap, are they asleep? Wait...NO NO DON'T--DON'T DISCONNECT--Sh*t, lemme log on again...ARGH QUEUE!! Â Please, RP person/people, don't leave meeeee!! Â :c "
Oh jeez, don't even get me started on if there's a queue! In both cases!
If I may nerd-analogy to the nth degree here... if a normal lag situation is a kaioken, and getting disconnected is a kaioken-times-four (enough to beat Vegeta, y'know!)... then hitting either the queue or that stupid "your character is still in the world" nonsense is a times-ten kaioken. FRIEZA-BEATING LEVELS OF RAGE.
(Yes, I just turned all my frustration into a DBZ analogy. Totally not sorry.)
