Bad lag again with NTT's NA server network

I still see rubber banding / lag spikes game is almost not playable sigh.

I'm not on ATT but am also now having issues, goes away when I try a diff network, so they clearly did something during maintenance, I am worried they broke it more than they fixed it atm.

Like, my sound works, but if I alt-tab too long I come back to dead quiet and have to exit out from taskbar because it will hang up if I try to close from in-game.

NEAT!

FUN!

Holy heckin moly. Today's the worst the lag has been. I normally have just experienced gnarly rubberbanding, but I've been having several bursts of 10+ seconds of freezing with my first 90006 error of this whole ordeal. Absolutely bonkers.
I hate hate hate the fact that I'm still subbed just to keep my gd house.

I'm happy you don't have super rubber banding lag spikes. A lot still do. Heck ppl have unsubbed till its fixed.

The lag was really horrible tonight. It has been pretty bad since this thread's creation, but tonight was just exceptionally horrific. Combat had reached the point of being unplayable, and it's really frustrating.

Hope it's better tonight. Anyway this morning it's back to being okay without having to use things like a VPN or Cloudflare Warp. Let's see if it holds guys. I hope it's fixed by the time 'Neko is not as distracted by Zelda so we can play together again. I realize I go to bed earlier than some of you but it may be due to time zones as well.

I have been continuing to use my Verizon hotspot with no issues (other than the mild lag it's always had and inability to use Discord voice chat). Just watching this thread in hopes of seeing the issue resolved so I can actually use the fiber internet I'm paying for to play. I can't believe it's gone on this long. ☹️

I can't really do much since I can't justify a new router for one game that I already pay for monthly to play on a console. I've tried different DNS settings, but haven't had luck. Ridiculous we're still here with no end in sight two weeks since the issue started. 3 big companies involved doing the spiderman meme.
