Bad lag again with NTT's NA server network

Adding to the pile, also UK player on NA servers, 184 is my usual ping, but since August 24th combos have been breaking, rolling my GCD smoothly is next to impossible, crafting macros are unusable. Playing like this is kind of miserable because single weaving can cause clipping but I'm in a static and have to do reclears on Tuesday. It's unfortunate that this happened right as the support staff got their holiday time.

I think what feitochan is saying might be right.

I actually noticed it a day before it became an issue for days on my end. I remember after daily reset I did Frontline only to notice it was unplayable due to action delays (hadn't done anything in-game before FL, so I didn't know there was an issue until then), so I went to Aether thinking it was a Primal issue but nope, no changes. I went to Crystal after that, again, no changes. I believe I logged into my EU alt then to check if there was a problem but of course, everything ran fine. I went back on my main, return to my home world and wow, everything ran fine. So I thought it was temp. server issue on NA side and didn't think anything of it... until I logged in the next day... and the next...

However today, RNG has blessed me with the ability to play on my NA main. I've done quite a few Frontline matches without problems. It's really weird. I don't want to log out now... (._. )

Had good ping yesterday all day (amazing tbh), however today at about 11 AM BST the ping ramped up to 500 ms, then dropped back to my usual 170ms. I suppose most people went to sleep or something but goodness gracious, playing 500 ms while doing Nier as mentor is excruciatingly awful.

Another day another NTT headache. It was normal for a little while earlier with 160-170 ping but then it started to go back up for no reason because why not.

I dont want to spam but i also want to keep engagement up on this issue in the hopes that it will somehow make SE acknowledge the problem.
Like just a small statement saying they know there is a problem, its so disheartening not knowing if this is going to be a permanent thing that they dont even know exist or care about.

Or maybe we'll get an answer like "EU players should play on EU servers, there's nothing we can do about it" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I was kicked off last night 4-5 times, and often had periods where nothing would respond for 20+ seconds. I lost many cast attempts during Ruby Dragon thanks to this. Here's my response graph from last night and into early this morning (each time a request bottoms out, the given data center did not respond):

It seems like it's back to normal for me this morning.

Edit: it started up again right as I got home to play, at 4:26 PM this evening. Kicked during a raid with a 90006 error as usual.

Managed to actually get on today (2pm gmt) with around 300ms which is playable but still not the best, very much expecting it to drop out again when the majority of NA has woken up; just annoying that we haven't heard anything from SE about this, especially since it's it's during the 10yr anniversery event.

Welp it was only a matter of time, Warp is now causing 90k errors regularly just as I read would eventually happen. If it continues the game isn't just figeratively unplayable, it literally is.

Try Proton VPN, you just need an account (it has free servers) but if you feel like there's a packet loss, just keep changing server until you get one that works.

Just to update, as of this morning, my ping seems to have improved again and my latency to NA seems to have normalized.
This is the first time since the issue first occurred that my latency is that far down again.
