Current and previous lagging Duty Servers in the EU Area.

[Nyme]

Hi.

I'm the Company Master of a large finnish gaming community of +1500 players, i'm acting as the leader in the game Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn currently and i wanted to take some time address an issue that has already been talked enough, but i still wanted to post something here regarding this issue as this has been bugging me, and my Free Company for a longer while.

The concurrent lag in the EU Area has been getting worse day after day, it seems to get better from time to time after a maintenance but the lag eventually comes back, this wouldn't be such a big issue if it was just a "minor lag" but the fact is, it's horrible and causing the Duty Servers to be pretty much unplayable, especially in the end-game content.

We have been stuck on Coil turn 2, it's been fun and frustrating from time to time but i've always felt and my raid members have agreed, that weve always been able to progress even if it was just a little bit, but today on Sunday 6.10.2013 it has become apparent that we can't progress until the lag in the EU area has been fixed one way or another.

Today the problem's we had :
Being unable to dodge lasers even though we move at the exact time they are cast
Being unable to interrupt High Voltage even though casting Blunt Arrow or using Paladin Silence right after ADS starts casting.
Being unable to heal tank's since the game decides to interrupt the healer's heals without any warning or reason behind it.

After banging our heads in the lagwall for an hour and a half, only being able to progress as far as 50% (Previously we had several 10~% tries on ADS without the issue of lag being present) we gave up, and i don't know if i will be willing to lead another raid group into Coil after this experience.

I'm not saying that i don't enjoy the fight, i do, i don't mind learning the fight's by wiping multiple times but when the game makes the fight virtually impossible because of lag, i'm not willing to play or even pay for a game anymore if it's keeping us from being able to progress further.

Thank you for your time.

Thank's

I'm sorry about the english i used in my previous post, the experience we had previously today made me pretty distraught so i wasn't in the best state of mind when writing.
Stil, i would like some kind of response on this issue, even if it just that they are acknowledging it or something.

Again, thank you for your time.

/bumping again for justice.

/bump and would also like to state that the NA servers experienced this same issue over this past weekend.

/bump for never been able to dodge bad breath from Aurum Vale. A perfect solution would be to have an EU server, IN EU!

Edit: I am sure if we /bump this thread to 50 pages, SE will at least make a small comment.

There is a post in the "Accepted bugs" forum about this issue already, so they are aware of it

I actually tried to find this post from accepted bugs but couldnt, could you post link to it?

This is not only an issue for EU but for Australians too.
WoW had better lag compensation in 40 man raids, surely SE can do it.
