Ninja Mudras LAG is back.

The Ninja Mudra Lag that used to be a plague on our class was a thing in the beginning of heavensward then it was fixed by the time midas raid tier came around. but ever since this expansion dropped, the mudras consistently lagg every time and i'm a Na player playing on NA servers.I can't even use lv 70 move tenchijin without it lagging. please would be nice if Square enix take notice of this problem.anyone who is not using 3rd party programs most of us play either on console or play on pc play without anything to fix lag issues. if anyone could please get square enix to please notice this problem please and thank you.

Are you on the east coast, by any chance?

Non NA player on NA servers and I haven't noticed an increase in mudra lag. However they absolutely punished higher ping players with the TCJ skill, our openers especially suffer.

I've been noticing this lately, as well.

I'm in Hawaii, but had lagless mudras for a while even prior to the west coast server move, so having it start again is kind of annoying.

It's been horrendous lately. Can barely even get a 1 step fuma shurikan out without it clipping my gcd. Rations and tcj are even worse.

I'm personally in the UK and have played on the same server with the same people ever since 1.0 first launched and the server was saronia. And never had any issues until recently

It needs fixing ninja is almost impossible to play to a decent level at the minute. I'm Doing less dps in Susan ex at 70 than I was in zurvan ex at 60 just because of mudra lag and the heavy gcd clipping.

It's been bad ever since the data centre moved but seems even worse with stormblood. Definitely needs addressing. The data centre issues thread hasn't seen any official response or update either and that's bad.

I have some issues too since last week, but I'm an EU player on EU server. Maybe it's a different issue or caused by provider issues ?

Mudra lag also affects my SMN ;-;

Even with the suppossed client side fix, the lag was still present in HW for me, still till now.
Dunno how its client side, when I can watch the UI, out of combat, to make sure, and still see it slow to respond 30% of the time.

When the servers first moved to California in Heavensward, I saw some very minor improvements compared to the 80 ms ping I'd had before (with a VPN, around 150 otherwise). When we moved into Stormblood, the frequency with which a Ninjutsu would say Suiton and cast Raiton or Fuma increased to about the levels before the "mudra fix". My ping is low enough that it's not crippling to gameplay, but I have to wait for a moment after the final mudra for it to actually cast what it says it will cast. It's as if the mudras themselves may still be on client-side animation lock timers, but the resultant Ninjutsu is not also compiled client-side from the mudras fed to it.

For a while following any spike, even when everything else is back on its normal timings, the visual refresh/recast timers of mudras outpaces the actual refresh rate. Maybe desync is causing further, and longer-lasting, issues than it used to?

I am very glad that our Ninja Community has noticed this being a real problem Especially with our Lv 70 move "Ten Chi Jin" i just hope that The Live Letter At least talks about this. It's very upsetting hearing Raid Community's and other reddit post's talk about Ninja overall class being "OP" i just wish they would fix the Mudra lagg or finally Completely fix this problem its been a thing since Realm Reborn, Then Fixed slightly in Heavensward. its Sad we As Community have to "Deal" with this problem again at the start of Stormblood. Again sorry about the rant, but if everyone could least spread the word of Ninja Needing a Mudra fix or Complete Fix it would be nice to see our favorite class to finally see its job be fixed for once. even it takes up until 5.0. =/

I'm playing in Nordic (Sweden) and play obviously on EU DC. I have no Mudra lag.

Really hoping the Dev's do something about this It's almost impossible to play ninja effectively because of how the mudra issues affect TCJ which is a very significant portion of your damage. over the course of time.

when you add that to the fractions of seconds lost just clipping gcds with ration or even (fuma shurikan) it all adds up to a major dps loss. my latency seems to vary between 150 and 180 depending on the time of day..

I've just come out a susano ex party where I had major mudra issues and a quick ping test right after I got out of that is currently 163

Ninja is currently unplayable on any remotely decent level

I've seen mudra lag levels go down from HW to SB, playing on roughly 100 ping and can weave Fuma Shuriken just fine, that's not to say the issues that are brought up in this thread do not exist because they do and I have seen them first hand when watching a friend play NIN, but I personally have had the exact opposite experience from most people in this thread, which is bizarre because I used to play at sub 30ms during HW before the server move.
