FFXIV’s<\/a> Fall Guys event has been a mixed bag for a lot of players. On one hand, it offers players the chance to grab some vibrant rewards and cosmetics<\/a> by competing in some Fall Guys-inspired mini-games at the Gold Saucer. On the otherhand, it has quickly become clear that the game’s netcode isn’t really up to the task. <\/p>\n

The “obstacles” within the Fall Guys courses<\/a> in FFXIV rely on hitting players with a number of debuffs and status effects, like Stun. But a lot of lag and synchronisation issues means players are getting hit with these obstacles despite seemingly being nowhere near them. If you’ve got actually bad lag on top of this, you can kiss that winning crown goodbye. <\/p>\n

One Achievement tied to the event is causing players a lot of stress. By earning the ‘It’s a Blunderful Life IV’ Achievement, not only do players get 5 Achievement Points, but they’re also awarded the ‘Queen Bean\/King Bean’ in-game title to use. So what are the unlock conditions? Simply place first in Blunderville 100 times. Not even qualify through 100 rounds (an arguably more respectful achievement), but win the whole thing 100 times. <\/p>\n

Needless to say, there’s plenty of players (myself included) who cannot fathom winning Blunderville even ten times — not on Cerberus, anyway.<\/p>\n
