Lag in Instances + Endless "loading" screens when transitioning to a new area

Square Enix has made a post in the news section regarding this issue.

Had bad lag tonight. Repeatably casting fire I, III and the animation completes but there is no damage done or mana used. Same with blizzard spells and flare. I could weave scathe in between spells and only scathe would do damage. :/

I am dealing with this issue as well. It's pretty much non-playable. I thought at first it may have been my firewall since the new patch was released and all but was glad to know that it just wasn't me. Hopefully this gets fixed soon.

Going to sign onto this. I JUST got out of an ifrit(NM) run where I literally moved to the outermost edge to avoid the first plume before the animation even STARTED and somehow got hit by both it and the second one, which I was WELL toward the center of the arena to avoid. Same with eruptions, where I could move before they even began to cast and still eat them. Had a sas yesterday where the whole group was porting around thanks to it. Duties are freaking unplayable at the moment.

eh think they need to straighten that news post out. it's not just delay on actions. it's straight up lag. people occasional getting red connection issue icons above their heads. warping around the map ect... just spent 30 mins on diablos because it toke 5 seconds when interacting with the door before they would even begin to open.
