Batraal - Lagging Fight...

last 2 days unable to log in

- Name of ISP: Rogers Cable
- Country of Residence: Canada
- When does the problem occur (always, only during specific times?): Started lagging for me on Friday September 20th, 2013. Game lags in place for up to 10 seconds then everything catches up. I had a LITTLE of this before Friday but it was not as bad as now it was only lasting maybe 1 second so it did not really affect my gameplay. It just suddenly got a lot worse and is affecting my gameplay since Friday. Seems to be anytime.
- Reference number from your ISP, if you raised this matter with them: Did not bother since they likely will not do anything or give me any answers.

- Name of ISP: Shaw Communications
- Country of Residence: Canada
- Always lagging for a couple of seconds. Makes it impossible to heal. Started last week

Name of ISP: Verizon
Country of Residence: United States - New York
When does the problem occur: All the time. Insane delay during instances, fighting in the open world, and even when mining/botany. Makes fights like Demon Wall impossible. I think I'm out of the purple and I'm moving back and forth "doing" dps and "not" taking damage and then the game catches up and I'm dead.
Reference number from your ISP: I didn't bother because, like everyone else here, I'm going to receive the same old answers. I have no such problem with any other game I play.

Hey what the hell SE? This has been going on since game release, and you haven't done ANYTHING? This is getting very close to a joke. Every single other game in the WORLD IS FINE, except this one. You won't be getting any money from me until you FIX YOUR GAME.

It really isn't throtteling but for the record

Name of ISP: Comcast
Country Of Residence: USA
Area: Chicago
When: At any time during an instance, freeze, lag out, 90K disconnect. This only started to occur after the last extended maint. period

The JP servers are alright. I just logged there to play a bit and had not a single freeze or skill delay. The issue is with the crappy servers from the NA/EU side. I'm quite sure is the datacenter they're using. Which means we're not getting a decent fix anytime soon...

- Köpings kabel-TV
- Sweden
- mostly happens in the evening, get severe lag with lots of rubberbanding.

I am having the same issue.

Cannot Connect to Server. 90000

I run TWC
Anahiem, CA USA

I have noticed that this problem is most prolific with an increase with the number of people on the server and especially bad around warp points and teleportation usage.

Did anyone think to beef up the servers or put in more for the game's introduction? The hype was pretty crazy and it should have been understood they needed to prepare for a high number of players.

I hate to say this, but take an example from Blizzard. They don't have this problem at all; and when they introduced WoW vanilla and had this problem, it was solved in days, not weeks, and they did not have to suspend the sale of their product.

When is this going to be fixed?

- PLDT
- Philippines
- Around 11pm - 7am New York time. (No idea which timezoneis that)

- Reynolds Cable(Reynoldscable.com)
- United States
- For the most part at 8:00p.m. and sometimes earlier during weekdays.

- Name of ISP; Telstra - Bigpond
- Country of Residence; Australia
- When does the problem occur (always, only during specific times?); Usually all the time, in instances and outside. At times I'll get 15-30 minutes of lag-free gameplay but then it starts all over again.
- Reference number from your ISP, if you raised this matter with them; I have talked to them about it, and yes they are throttling FF14: ARR they did not give me a reference number.

Name of ISP: Time Warner Cable
Country: USA - Texas
When does it occur: Nearly all the time ever since the last server maintenance. I get 3-10 second skill delays, npcs not showing up (Making leves and more impossible), menu delay and everything. I am NORMALLY ok in instances (Today I did stone Vigil and took Three dragon aoes to the face since they didn't show in a lag spike ._.). Restarting my moded fixes the issue sometimes, but normally I just have to wait it out or deal with the lag.

This doesn't make Coerthus Highlands any easier on top of the normal lag from the high amount of players there, and I may not be able to keep playing at all if the issue isn't fixed.

Name of ISP: Shaw Cable
Country: Canada - BC
When does it occur: Increasing in frequency and duration ever since the server work on 19/09/2013, started as every 30-40 minutes on friday, now every 3-5 minutes or on every dungeon boss fight 10-20 seconds of lag or complete disconnect

I feel like my computer is ten years old or something. Been playing since start of beta 3 and this last couple of weeks with this lag' this is the FIRST time I have had ANY complaints about this game. I have loved every minute up until whatever happened happened. I hope squeex can fix it, I have been playing all my gather/crafter stuff cause I don't want to heal in an instance with this freeking lag junk going on lol. Macros are useless right now, start em, watch em skip a step, pop goes the HQ mats..... yay.

Character Name :Paradigm Salcydi

World : Crouel

ISP : Telus/Canada

Does it happen only on one world or character ? : Only happens on one pc we have two. We are on the same ISP.

When the problem started happening?: During Dungeons mainly/Hard mode Ifrit/etc. Sometimes Im able to play long hours at a time when I log into a dungeon or duty finder on bosses it dc's me. My wife doesn't and she's playing next to me. Has been happening since Sept. 20th or so before that I had no problems.

PLEAS FIX IT OR GET BACK TO US WITH SOME WORK AROUND. I WOULD RATHER YOU FIX IT THOUGH. Never had any issues before the 20th or so.
Updated all my drivers my BIOS etc etc to see if it was my issue.

ISP: ComX

Country: Denmark

When it Occurs: 24-7. Always.

Character Name: Shadow Kin
World: Odin
ISP: Virgin Media UK (100mbit fibre optic)

Does it happen only on one world or character ? All characters, also on Sargatanas where I have a Legacy char
Does it happen only on one world or character ? Early evenings/weekends. What usually happens is that the packages received go down up to 0, and I cannot escape AOE anymore (even though on my screen I am miles away). Also spells that I broke up by moving out of AOE still complete, sometime the character turns into a complete different direction than originally facing while running.
This did not happen during the beta, this started about 2 weeks ago. I play other games without any issue and a generally low server ping. I also noticed that suddenly my ISP claims I am uploading tons of data (still within my limit but still) when I am not using any P2P network/sharing/etc.

ISP: Deutsche Telekom
Country: Germany
Where: Most of the time its on the Duty/Dungeon Servers, but sometimes on the normal once as well
Time: 8PM+ (GMT +1)

Side note: Impossible to heal, dodge AoEs, kite mobs. Basically not able to do any Duties, Dungeon and so on...

ISP: Sky
Country: UK
When: Started two days ago, random disconnections at any part of the day, lagging in fights, lagging in turning in quests, lagging in summoning mounts and sprint etc

- Name of ISP: Time Warner Cable

- Country of Residence: USA, I'm in Los Angeles

- When does the problem occur (always, only during specific times?): this problem began on Saturday in which I started to lag in instances. I see minor lag in the cities, but when I run AAK or CM, I suddenly see everybody stop running, then EVERYTHING catching up after 2-3 seconds, and it makes it a pain to get out of the red zones during fights. I haven't been able to even try hardmode Titan because this lag makes it impossible for me to survive the fight. I've been having this issue nonstop for almost 3 days now, and I have this issue only with FF14. I play WoW too and I haven't experienced any lag in it, and speed tests done at different times of the day show a constant dl speed of 16Mbps with a 1Mbps upload.

I've had issues with TWC before to recognize when the problem is in their end, and this time it isn't. The problem is with the game.

isp: dodo

country: australia

when it occurs: all the god dam time!. since the start any enemy i face that does a charged attack i always get hit, even when im out of the aoe i still get hit. i cant face titan because of this and get flammed by everyone.

ISP: Comcast
Country: North America
When: After the 9/19? 9/20? server maintenance. Happens specifically when in dungeons/instances, making me absolutely useless. Cannot progress in content with this issue.
