Unplayable Lag

Yes I and many FC members last night had serious unplayable lag issues that caused a number of us to just log out for the night. Hopefully tonight it will be better but I'd really like to see a response from SE acknowledging the issue.

Apparently you are new to the internet. Wow had this same problem years ago,and it was Comcast, and had nothing to do with them. And thousands of people suffered, and it was not Blizzard's fault. Might be the same for FFXI also back in the day, and now FFXIV.

Yep - when comcast was going through, let's call it their rebellious stage it affected people connecting to XI, a game designed for and capped at 56k.

Yeah, My FC still having all kinds of lag issues and we all have different ISP's

Still an issue for many with no dev response...I expected more.

I didn't see any of this yesterday, although it was a huge issue when the OP was written.

We are located at different locations across the US, with different ISPs and hops to the server. This was a server side delay spike, most likely caused from overloading instances.

That's actually something different. It's a bug that I can replicate pretty reliably by standing next to a party member and using Jump (I'm a Dragoon) the second the Repel cast finishes. It knocks me back in midair, once the Jump animation concludes, I teleport back to where I was standing (as per Jump mechanics), and whoever I was standing next to goes flying back 2sec later, about 70% of the time. Nothing to do with server lag, everything to do with some sort of bizarre coding conflict when determining player/party positioning.

I have had the same issues for about a week.Healing is almost impossible in a dungeon.I did find a fix and outlined it in a thread titled, "My temporary solution to packet loss/lag. I hope it works for you all too!

So tonight I was helping some of my FC members on HM Titan. I lagged so bad that I kept getting the Disconnect symbol, everything on the screen would freeze and when it would unlock I would be dead. I have been experiencing lag issues for the last couple of days. Characters seem to be moving in inches on my screen. I have gone through everything I could possible do with and too my pc and isp. This lag issue is not on my end at all. Up until the downtime on Monday I would get little hiccups here and there but now it is almost unplayable for me as a WHM and BRD. It seems to be getting progressively worse for me.

The game has become pretty much unplayable since the last server maintenance. I've had constant rubberbanding of characters and R0's the entire week no matter what time of day. No problems with anything outside of FFXIV. If it was something they did during the maintenance like it seems then I would expect it to be affecting a lot more people than what's been posted in this thread.

What zones/regions are you in?
Because I was playing for a while in Limsa and that was fast/lag free, then I decided to travel to Ul'Dah/Horizon and it that got a lil laggy. Not unplayable but noticable in places.

My point been maybe your in zones with a high number of active players and that could be causing the lag.

I logged out in Horizon about 20mins ago not because of lag or anything like that but because RL things needed doing.

I've actually been pretty stable since maintenance, and I by no means have amazing internet (using a wireless connection with less than 80% signal strength most of the time). The only lag I receive is at peak hours, and that's just server congestion. If I'm ever lagging, though, I leave the area and go to another (Southern Thanalan is my go to, since it's not that populated). If I'm still lagging there, I'll usually log off for a couple hours or wait to get hit by an Error 90000.

I've been having the same stutter, to the extent that I am getting unplayable stutters mining in Sagolii and even riding my mount from Forgotten to the points. Additionally, I'm not getting lag connecting to GW2 or STO (and when your connection is worse than Cryptic's...).

Yeah, its most likely during the peak hours, with server congestion.
I been doing dungeons most of the day on my Arcanist, running Tam-tara, copperbell mines and halatali. Its been lag free most of the day, but about 1½-2 hours ago, that would be about 7 PM GMT+2, lag started to kick in.
People skating around in the dungeons. Some times its only a 1-2 second hiccup, other times it look like a d/c, where nothing happens for 5-10 secs, then BLAM.... game is fast forwarding to catch up.

For me world servers are always a bit laggy since monday, instances are ok when not too crowded it seems. AK was unplayable at start of the week but got better. Now sunday evening everything, instances and world started to lag so it's almost unplayable.
