Titan Extreme is NOT Fun

Lag and latency issues will always be in any MMO, so I don't see any reliable way to fix this issue for players that cant seem to beat difficult contents with this issue. Sadly if it's latency/lag issue that is stopping pple from beating endgame content, best thing to do is just not do them. In any ONLINE game there will always be lag or delays, so this isn't just a FFXIV problem.

The thing with FFXIV, though, is that I, and many others, only have a problem with FFXIV.

I'm a good player.

I know I am.

But I have to use WTFast, and I've never had to do that with any other game.

You from Europe ? If so, it's pretty obvious why you and many others (including me) have higher ping... Cause there are not servers in Europe, unlike almost every other MMO.

If you live in US, then I don't know... Shouldn't be any problem. I get the ping I expect from Sweden, 160 without WTFast(not "premium") and 140 with it. Which is to be expected.

There's problems with people in the US and problems with people that have only a stone's throw to the data center servers - That means it's an ISP problem because unlike other MMORPGs, XIV's data tend to get throttled by ISPs due to it appearing as torrent type P2P traffic. This is why with some other MMOs, WoW included, some people have issues updating the game but not necessarily playing it.

Thanks ! Didn't know that actually

Had heard something about this before, but I thought it got fixed ?

Not something I notice, since we don't have any throttling of p2p.... That would s*ck.

I laughed so much when someone said they can't account for people with 200ms latency.

If that was the case, then SE shouldn't have sold the game in Australia at all. Or New Zealand.

They did. It's up to them to "deal with it".
