Sorry SE, but endgame won't work if you don't fix something.

That doesn't actually prove anything. At all. But a fine effort on big-boy posting.

The game is littered with problems and inconsistencies in it's net code and client->server synchronisation.

Any idiot can ping a server (you did), but pinging is hardly indicative of what the game actually does at runtime (pro tip: games do more than ping <ip>)

Secondly you live 800 miles away from the servers (Wisconsin, right?) - that's a decent distance. Try 3300 miles away and several additional servers.

But wait? Proxies! So then try a proxy, which many of us have. It's still not right. You know why? It's not the connection; it's the coding.

Also that's an embarrassing PC name, Jeff.

In France we have a 130 ~ 180 ping to the server, it should not be a problem. But yes a 0.3s position check is a real problem because sum it with the ping = half a second where the server does not know where you *really* stand.

Signed, fix this or all that is going to happen is people will pay for titan wins or get friends to carry them, if thats what u want SE then fine, we'll wait for new raid to come out in 2.1 then gear up enough in that so titan is doable without having to worry about getting hit a few times by your stupid 0.3 delay, funny thing is during last beta that was 1.5 and they thought that make for good testing, this game is failing, burning and falling just like version 1.0, a few dedicated fan-boys are doing titan hundreds of times and eventually getting lucky, talking about people with the delay issue, if you dont have the problem, your input really is not needed, i live in the uk, god knows the distance i am from the server, but i hate feeling like a bad player and people wanting me replaced because of your mess up.

Thats nice connection you have there. Now go and make video of you casting esuna or mounting while moving and im 100% sure even you will not interupt it before 60% or 70% of that casting bar. Thats more than half a second delay. If you call that there is no problem at all and that its all ISP/routing fault its your first online game ever and think its normal or you are extremely insensitive to lag/delay or how you want to call that server polling rate.

And for your information i live in Czech Rep., have 100ms ping and 11 hops to server (you cant get much better from here). I have absolutely no problem dodging titan but im not blind like you and see problem when there is one.

You totally weren't zoomed out. Obv the problem ^^

So yeah, this game is unplayable on Myth Tome reset day. I'm getting hit by lag spikes that last five-ten seconds every ten seconds, just like last week (after the hotfix, so... what the hotfix fixed broke something that makes the game unplayable on a certain day). My friends wanted me to go as SCH for a Titan HM run and... yeah. I could not do anything.

Imagine having this happen: Titan drops bombs, lag spike happens and then nothing happens for fifteen seconds. Suddenly lag ends and apparently we're on the Heart Phase. Somehow, I survived the explosion and Geocrush. I was then knocked off the edge by a Landslide while I was lag spiking again... apparently (one moment I was up on the platform with everyone, suddenly everyone stopped moving... and then I'm KO'd on the ground below).

I was getting major rubber banding all day yesterday. Were the servers taking a dump?

[Nestama]

Maybe all the people who left their Myth runs until the last minute decided to all jump on at the same time (I didn't play FFXIV today)? I do recall last week, before Myth Reset day, that I was rubber banding every so often. It eventually stopped about 4-5 hours before JPM.

You could be right on the money.

The overall server lag that occurs on certain times is a different issue than the lag people talk about. I had times where I can see Demon Wall finish casting Repel, and didn't get pushed back until 5 seconds later. That's the server being overloaded and every game has that problem when traffic is way too high. The lag people tag about is persistent. Do the running Esuna or mount chocobo test (autorun on, just keep casting the said spell) at any time you want. You'll notice the spell always casts at least 50% no matter when you tried this, so it takes about 0.5s before your client realizes you can't cast a spell while running even though the action is actually impossible. That's the part that is unique to this game.

Atleast 50%? Man I get consistently to around 0.30-0.10 seconds left of full 1 second cast before it interrupts. In fact yesterday was abnormally laggy and I managed to actually run and mount without interrupt. Every now and then the run and mount caused a 90k.
