Effects of ping/latency on animation lock and ability to perform rotations normally.

Bump, can't let this disappear.

Another reason to add to the list of why the game needs a new engine, badly.

I cant even mirage dive single weave without a clip any advice

I’m live on the Canadian east coast and my ping on avg is 95-100ms. The last couple weeks I’ve noticed a huge increase in input lag, making cast sliding and double weaving become almost impossible, even being interrupted mid cast. My internet connection has been rock solid and no changes from my ISP. I’m at the point where the game is becoming not enjoyable and will have to resort to a VPN client. It would be nice if SE would recognize this issue.

Try doing a tracert when you're experiencing these lag spikes and posting them here.

And yeah SE really likes to ignore these longstanding latency issues. >_< (I don't know if they understand what it feels like to game across a continent instead of an island)

Just bringing this back up to keep it in dev team's radar since I didn't see anything about ping acknowledgements in the preliminary patch notes for Endwalker. Didn't really expect anything but these problems don't go away by brushing them aside. First page posts are still very much relevant and the discussion should go on.

Bump because if only SE would find this stuff like they did the error 2002 bug

The issue can't be on SE's side if a VPN fixes it.

It means that at some point, the nodes your ISP is using to connect to SE's servers are being lil shitters, and the issue has to be resolved between your ISP and the backbone nodes it connects to.

Ah, I dream of a connection that good. I really do. I'd even be happier with a 200ms ping.

I've been playing at 280-320ms for 9 years. It goes beyond animation lock. A lot of telegraphs are too short, meaning by the time I see them they have almost gone off.
