Lag makes me give up end game

It sadens me to have to give up end game content thou i have bad lag as many other player.
I love this game so it hurt, not being able to play end game.
Titan hm and Behamut is unplayable for me right now.
May the twelve give Yoshi the right Tools so he can give us a lagfree endgame:(

most of the problems in these fights are server stress if you ask me. too many people in them adding stress making them lag a little more then what your normal ping would be = too much lag. Same thing was happening in titan hard at release when the masses got there and where stuck, but server adjustments, more people clearing so not spamming it and things get better. Same things will happen in the next month or so when people learn the fights clear them and have what they want and stop spamming them.

I better ISP and/or tunneling service can go a long ways in helping with these issues also, but they are not always an option.

Not sure why people keep complaining about server lag. I get some issues when there are just tons of people like at Odin or Reverant's Toll sure, who doesn't when your on one of the top 3 most populated servers, but even on my less than stellar PC just turning down the graphics a bit eliminates alot of the issues.

i used to use server lag as a excuse when i died and then i figured out the fight and with a walmart dial up connection i never get hit by anything now. they helped the lag alot also so there shouldn't be much of a problem its on your side connection wise most likly

I highly suggest trying WTFast. It is a tunneling service designed to eliminate latency to the game. More of less Battle Pings Competitor, but with a longer free trial. Has a 10day free trial.

Over 50% of my guild was having issues with Titan, ADS, and so on dodging. Got them on this and now they are dodging as good as all the people we have clearing the stuff.

People need to stop expecting SE to fix it, it is nothing they can do. It is not server latency most the time, does happen occasionally though. Most the time it is high latency getting to the server, your isp throttling XIV thinking it is a peer to peer download, or an unstable connection.

its probably your internet.

If this is the case (bolded) then SE most certainly can fix the issue, simply by shaping their packets differently so they don't look like p2p traffic.

Poo- oor game structure and content "makes me give up end game".

Srsly, i don't mind the typical theme-park style Final Fantasy MMO they throw at us to save the companies name but when you've walked around the park and jumped on every ride, you get kinda bored and it's like that's all they have to offer!

This really isn't final fantasy IMO(even if you compare it to an offline game). It take a long time to break down the content because of poor structure not because of replayability. Gathering and crafting is the only thing that gives XIV potential.

:(

I've never seen someone say WTFast or Pingzapper didn't work. Try it.

I'm not sure what the fuck kind of amount of content you expect from a game on release but I think you're probably extremely deluded, and don't go comparing to FFXI, there wasn't more content in FFXI on release, it was just a LOT MORE TEDIOUS to level up

Lag is murder.

I use to have connection issues, but after doing a few things on my side then SE doing a few things on theirs I never have an issue anymore. Well, besides sometimes randomly DCing because of my ISP hiccuping or when Odin spawns and I decide to go after him. lol

If your issues is connection there's a few steps you can take to try to relieve it. Make sure you're not on wireless, for example. A few other tips have already been posted. If it's FPS lag then simply turn down your graphics or upgrade to a high end computer.

OP - "Behamut"

.... omg i cant believe I've been playing since BETA and I havent had the luck to expirience this fight!

Titan HM is easy, try Titan extreme. I also think you should check your computer as well, since the latest patch I have had little problems with lag in boss fights (unless there is serious server lag because of population or right before server maintenance). If you're lagging so bad then that might be on your end and not on the server, this will not be different for other games.

Well i tried to turn down my graphics settings from highest to standard and then i Went to try Titan HM. Must say that it had improved performence but still there was some lag, but not as much as before.
This time i could enjoy a hard fight, still laggy but playable^^
Thx for all you ppl in this thread giving my good advices.
(Btw im from Sweden and my internet is Cable fiber wired 100/10).

What lowering your graphic settings does has nothing to do with network/internet connexion.
Glad you found a way to improve your situation, though.

Game is not only "ex modes" or -->Behamut<-- (for Behamut 10+ to OP , laughed all morning!!) , i have lagging spikes , lol especially when NA prime time on Balmung i start dotting/lagging 100% of time , so every battle it's a Premove game for me , have learn totally everything , also proper timing or dead ; ; . Best advice here is just if have lag , then need try harder than others and dont give up lol . I myself didn't even won Garuda EX yet, tho i finally reached T5 , will win this garuda for sure in end of week when learn all premove timing lmao .
