Horn Tail boss quotstickyquot ?

Myself and some members of my alliance have noticed something rather annoying about the first 2 maps of HT. (Fighting Left/Right heads alone)
The first 2 maps seem to have a slight delay between when you hit your keyboard, this produces a sticky like feeling on your character.
I find myself frustrated and hitting keys multiple times in order to do anything.

Has anyone else noticed this?
Oddly enough the "stickiness" goes away in the final boss stage thankfully, otherwise HT would be a major inconvenience for a rather simple boss.

It only seems to be noticed by warriors right now; however, that is likely a coincidence.

[quote=trancem5]this was actually a bug since pre big bang days. I remember trying to ht then with a group all the warriors would be doing nothing half the time and not realize it.[/quote]

Yeah I was just gonna say this has been a known bug for years... I have an easier time casting buffs while hanging on the rope it seems.

stand just past the hanging rope and you should have no problem attacking, you can go a few steps closer if need be

@Fiercepaingwin: It happens to everyone, and I think that its because of how the bosses are summoned. You summon them by walking past a point on the platform, but the game is currently coded to continuously check that, even after they are summoned. So if you stand too close to the end of the platform the client continuously runs extra checks to see if it should summon HT or not and it produces huge skill lag.

The solution is to stand on another platform or stand farther back

@litaozhao Haha I know the feels, I hold down RB enraged and hope for the best as well. Usually don't even bother using panic/puncture because of it.

@Haqua You mean where the portal is?

Yup, as an Aran i have trouble chaining my FB/BB combo when im in those maps, on the top platform, for both chaos and normal HT. However, I don't when I stand on the ground (not on the upper platform) so I just attack from there instead.
