Latency Issues [SEA] Dungeons/Raids -End Game

My friend and I from Australia have been playing this game for a month now. With have a ping of 300 on NA. We played the game with 1 second delay, whats happening in actual game server, the aoe shows up instantly, but on our screens the aoe shows up 1 second later

Most of the time we dodged the aoe's with instant dodge we don't cast anything! JUST RUN! And we would barely scrape through.

However, when hitting Titan hardmode, he uses plumes it's virtually impossible for us to dodge it, unless we dodge before hand, but managed dodge inbetween 0.1 seconds - 0.3seconds. The last phase everyone has to stand at one position so the weight of land doesn't spread. Instant death for us for sure.

I was wondering, if its viable to do the rest of the content with this latency issue. It doesn't seem impossible (avoiding titan HM/EX) We're looking to do coil and the rest of end game content.

We tried programs like WTFast which reduces 300 ping to 270. Minor decrease, but still helps.

It should be possible by memorising the fights in order to move beforehand, as you put it. Though I haven't had the opportunity to try the most recent content, people seem to find it a viable option.

Sorry for you, your friend and you seem to be amongst the unlucky ones.

Another thing you can look into is Leatrix Latency Fix (You'll find the download on places like wowhead) Seems to have helped some people from SEA regions playing on NA servers.

300 ping = 0.3s delay not 1s, do urself a favor and play in jp servers which have tons of aussies

If you are in Australia. Try come to JP server. Many people I know stay in Aegis and they are all no lag. I think Australia is closer to JP than NA too right?

A lot of people around the world randomly still have this problem. I'm in toronto (close to montreal where NA servers are) and have the issue. A number of people I play with have the same issue. And a number of IRL friends here on other servers have the same issue. SE isn't really acknowledging it's an issue, even though 100s of people seem to have the problem. So honestly if you can't fix it with one of those third probably programs you are just out of luck.

I'm not entirely convinced it's SE's doing for all those people. I've recently been playing on a few different connections from a few different internet providers for a few days at a time on a pc and ps4. At my home on my normal connection, I get a few lag spikes a day on my pc. On my ps4, the most I've gotten is one a day. Playing on my pc with a different provider (only an hour away geographically) and I got one lag spike over a week. Over at my friend's house (5 minutes away) I got zero lag spikes on ps4 while he got two over a few hours of play time.

It could just be a combination of the internet provider and the system the player uses that doesn't work well with SE's servers.

A lot of it is general latency caused by dropped packages due to insufficient peering capacity in the North American segment of the internet. It's showing up more and more in the news lately surrounding Netflix and net neutrality.

Move over to Tonberry. Why are you playing on NA servers?

Thanks for the help everyone! We heavily discussing about changing servers at the moment. We don't really want to switch servers because leviathan is a great server with lots of friendly people. Thank you for this discussion :3

You don't need to change servers. Don't abandon friendships made when it's really not that big of a deal.
I run on the Excalibur server and have about the same latency as you do. You can do everything that people in under 100ms can do.
From you put your OP it seems that you aren't used to how the mechanics fully work in game yet.
Just to go with you Titan HM example. You have a lot of time, even if you go to dodge as the weight appears around you. This catches out players on less than 100ms latency. It's all about practice, even for those with no latency issues.
To answer your question about on how viable content is with 300ms. It's very doable. I've been practicing T9 the past couple weeks (on and off due to our group's schedule being poop at the moment), so there is effectively nothing stopping you from getting to the same point or further (in later patches).

I post this in every single thread that regards latency issues. It's my tracert to the NA/EU data center.

I'd like to note that I normally attack threads complaining about latency, but you're quite possibly the first person who's asked "what can I do that could help me out?" instead of "OMG SE FIX IT!"

So you're admitting to being a white knight then since Yoshi p has played the game in Australia and admitted that latency is an issue that needs to be addressed.

"Admitting to being a white knight" Wat.

I had no knowledge of this article or what you're trying to get at. All I'm doing is giving advice to someone in a similar situation as my own.
Please read my entire post as a whole, and not try and evaluate me on my final paragraph which isn't even aimed at you or anyone else, aside from OP.

Once you go JP server group you never look back, don't let these people stop you from making a wonderful decision.

How did you get past Titan Extreme with 300ms latency? O___O
Those double plumes are barely dodge-able even for people with <100ms

If I were OP, I'd save all the trouble and just move to a JP server (Tonberry is famous for having an international community) for less latency and headache.

Tonberry.. give some love to Masamune.. Q.Q

We're too busy taking your refugees

Iyap...that was my ping spike on Titan EX.

You just said you attack people that have legitimate concerns about the game. That's white knighting.

No, I attack people that complain about latency and how "SE should fix it." When none of them have actual latency issues and are just terrible at the game.
I have no interest in defending SE. I like to prove that people are just bad at the game and would rather blame someone else for their own incompetence.

You do know that Yoshi P played the game in Australia and said lag was an issue.

Here is the exact quote.

"In fact, I was playing the game until 4 o’clock this morning in my hotel room, and I did see there was a lag issue. I was fighting Titan, and the lag does impact the game experience. I definitely realise what Australia [and New Zealand] people are suffering from, and with over 2,000 players, I feel we do need to look into it."

Seems like Yoshida needs to git gud then.
The game isn't hard. Really.

This is getting off topic now, so I'm leaving it at this.

Gee I dunno I think he would know more about the game mechanics than you would.

SQUARE ENIX SHOULD FIX THIS! I'm having hard time bahamut T9 keep get 9000-9002 error

Thank everyone for commenting and coming up with solutions to this problem, we'll stay on the server were on now and try to experience all the end game content. However, if it heavily becomes unplayable we may switch to Tonberry. But, that will be our final resort.

@Hali

With clear evidence which @Jaykos and the rest of the people commented here, there is clear underlying fact that latency issues involved. There is a reason why SEA users have gone to a certain server to avoid these issues. And your, "Hur, duh get good comment" was very informative and I hope everyone else can learn to be more like you.

Considering the number of people with high latency insisting that they experience no problem, while people close to the servers or with lower latency do experience a delay, I wonder more and more if it really is a latency issue.
(which doesn't mean that latency isn't an issue for anyone)


If you find your current experience bearable, and wish only to be able to clear the content, then I encourage you to try on your current server before transfering (which might solve it... or not).

This fix will not help your situation when you're that far from the server.
