Anyone else having a huge spell execution delay and another Conj issue.

Greetings everyone. So I started out as a Conj main and have been leveling it quite well, as much as you can as a conj, so on and so forth. However, the higher I get and more parties I get into, the more significant this issue has become for me. I will cast stoneskin (for example), it will fully be ready in the action meter and then it will be charging for 10+ seconds more before executing. While this is not only annoying for buffing prior combat on my party, it happens for Cure, Shockspikes, etc. Also, this happens on offensive spells (fire, blizzard, etc). So, when my party needs healed i am always late because something is charging and i can't cancel that to have my cure just wait and charge as well endlessly. So, my question is is anyone else experiencing this issue, tips for it (other than predicting in the future), and so on?
Also, another issue i ran into was when I was with a thauromage (sp?) and we were buffing and my shockspikes and his spike spell (the one where when hit restores MP on the user), overlap eachother and cancel the 1st cast out! So if i'd buff with my shock spikes which has a chance of stun on the enemy when hit and he used his that would be replaced with manaregen when hit, and this makes no sense to me to have these two classes skills be able to do this (other than name purposes with the spike factor). Any thoughts or something similar people have found?
Thanks for reading and will appreciate the feedback

i'm having the same problem with conjy
if there is lag your better off not exping since cure takes way too long to cast and half the party dies before it lands
i hope they fix this as right now the party play is useless and bugged as hell
i agree, in addition too you can't level it because of the delay and it sucks, especially if you tell the party please don't kill it fast so i can get some conj exp lol. It's sad it launched like this, but I honestly don't see it getting better (same with UI lag, party invite lag, etc). I think it's the system and while it works for every other class imo, for magic it doesn't.
It's hard to say for certain, but this could be happening because you're in too crowded of an area. In such araes, there's a bit of a server lag to all actions, and this becomes quite noticable when you're casting spells with really long casting times like Stoneskin.
i was going to respond but the user deleted, but no this is not in the beginning area and away from a lot of people.
This really has become my biggest complaint about the game. I only get lag when I cast a spell and even then it is not stuttering lag but the spell just sits there and takes forever to finnish its casting cycle. I really hope this gets fixed soon because it happens even if nobody else is around.

Thank you so much for this thread, I thought it was just me. The number of times my BF died because I was pressing the keyboard number and my cure was just sitting there not doing anything..... It was really upsetting (and caused some arguments as you can imagine:P).
Another thing I noticed was that I could be pressing one keyboard number and the spell relating to another kb number would be in the spell bar. I think that may be something to do with it being a controller - centric game as, apparently, if a spell is highlighted, it doesn't matter which key you press, the highlighted spell will go off. So my chat said I was doing one thing, and my spell bar showed a different spell.
The problems I had with the conj spells were game breaking for both me and my BF. We just couldn't grind mobs together as most of the ones we saw were red con anyway so quite difficult and, with the problems above, we just kept dying.
So, unfortunately, we have walked away from the game, it just wasn't fun for us at this point in time. Shame, as my BF normally loves anything SE (which is why we bought the CE even though we did the OB).
Hopefully you guys will get them to fix this and make it better for all the others who stay. Good luck.
This is probably the main reason why I'm not getting the game when my buddy pass is up. Combat is not synced correctly at all. If you do a leve solo, you will notice that it updates even before the action goes off. And I've had the same issue as you with spells casting at odd intervals. I think it has a lot to do with a huge delay between the client and the servers.

funny, i've noticed it a lot on stoneskin and shock spikes, but never on offensive spells or cure.

Then I guess almost all of us are doing it wrong and either way you slice it, Square's going to lose subs and some box sales because of it.

Well, I havent tried that class so I cant speak on its behalf. There is major UI lag, not doubt about it. My concern is when people say almost all of us and there has only been a few people post with this particular problem. I am sure there is more but you cant speak for everyone. I never understand why people try...
Almost all is not all. Would most have been a better word? Some? Few? Many? A lot? Chewbacca? Perhaps I was using hyperbole to highlight how important this issue is to the people that are affected by it.

That is the problem. Everyone that is on here bitching about FF14 problems are using hyperbole. At least you admit it..... I am sure exaggeration will make them get right on it..
Now, I do understand how important the UI lag and casting lag with the other things people wont fixed are. I want some things fixed too. However, I wont come on here using hyperbole to express it. Also, I dont see any miracle patch coming anytime soon. We have to get use to it being the way it is for a while or just stop and come back later. I have made my decision....
Of course, this is only my opinion....
I wasn't trying to complain or flame or anything, I love Square Enix and all that jazz, but what I want is a game where the caster has to worry about combatting his foes and rallying behind his/her allies, not fighting the random charge delay. Still, I'm sure it will be addressed in a matter of time it DID just come out lol.
He said "almost all." I don't think it was hyperbole considering "almost all" people experience lag with the menus either in or outside of populated areas.
Well I experience lag outside populated areas, but it could be worse, a lot worse. The lag has really lightened up and now things run pretty smooth for me. If you are having delays that is population lag though, that will go away in a few weeks once the population thins out, happens in every game.
I really hope it clears up. At least you guys, with the delay, are getting it out. I love seeing:

1 second passes.. 2 seconds... 3... 4.... 5... and finally!:

Or having my action bar grey out because I've accidentally queued up two Light Stabs. Party vs Party (the high star leves) play is really annoying for me as a tank right now...
Though I guess this isn't really a Conj issue, it's still most likely related :P
yeah its a niche game and if you dont like it its becaume the game wasnt meant for ya ... we know the argument... niche games MUST be lagging its a requisite...

WTF, why won't this work?!
Yep, working as intended.
Because i forgot you knew everthing about what HE was doing wrong ... you really saw what went wrong and you know that is not a programming bug. Unless you live at his place and are part of dev team i really dont know how you can say that he is doing something wrong.
I meant that Phillip said what he said in a sarcastic manner. Sorry I was being retarded about it. I was only like that because like 1 minute before you missed my sarcasm in another post.
You have to be hardcore to understand sarcasm.
I'm going to toss 1 more vote into not buying this game until they fix it. I'm just about ready to cancel my subscription until they get their act together.
This thread wasnt a poll or vote but...ok.
