Lack of SE Response to Lag

[Undrentide]

This is why FFXIV has scripted boss battles, they're not fun, i want to be able to react on the fly - not know that x,y,z is gonna happen so stand here, do this, do that... The only reason i feel scripted battles is in is cos of the damned latency issues that SE wont comment on. The only way for players to get round this that have the problem is by learning and predodging which is ok for players that have no problems memorizing patterns. Im paying a sub to wtfast on top of FFXIV's sub just to be able to get the game to a playable state. An acknowledgement that there is a problem would go a long way....Titan HM is still unbeatable for me due to latency, cant move from plumes because the damage registers literally a second after they appear, landslides shoot me from the edge despite having ran the other side of the arena. I know for a fact now, ill never progress past Titan extreme without being carried which i absolutely dont want to do. All i and many many other players want is a definitive statement and course of action on the latency issues.

I don't want this hidden by content threads, so bump. Also, did SE ignore anything related to this in the live letter? ... I feel like the questions answered here http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...68#post1818468 are some of the worst choices I've ever seen. Secrets? Job description? Really...?

I'm tired of this

This is getting absolutely ridiculous. Can't even do Titan Ex with VPN software without rubber banding. T5 is basically pointless now.

Try not doing it on NA monday primetime, where the main attractions are EX upkeep and Coil?

Congestion on the busiest day of the week? Blasphemy!

Also- I pugged t1-4 today, only 2 people complained of rubberbanding, and they live in the same town.

In Florida.

Reset day congestion + extra hops, a catastrophe is not.

This wasn't just today.

Well, not to make any assumptions-

What city do you live near?
Speed of internet connection?
The last time you experienced no such issues?
Local friends experiencing same issue?

dont' hope that se will fix lags .....
for them it's fixed , they already stated this in an official message .
the only thing u can do is :
deal with it by :

1)use a vpn +leatrix latency fix
2)change ur isp ( perhaps u ll be lucky )
3)only play away from pick times
or else if it's still don't work , unsub .......

btw , 0.3 isn't for all dungeons ..... just 2.1 content i think , dunno

ur not the only who lags btw .... just loock the forum , ull see over 9000 post about lags

Lag is mostly client side. i.e. contact your ISP pepz. By the way, anything around 250 ms is totally playable for any content in this game at the moment.

This is just as bad at the one a few posts ago. You can't generalize lag. Client side = my LAN before I route to my Hub. No, 95% of uses that I've seen post don't have client side lag and they don't have host related lag. It's the super highway in between the two that is having problems.

Don't just contact your ISP. Contact them requesting a reroute with the data to BACK IT UP while asking to file bugs with the owners of the offending node. If you don't, they will laugh you right off the phone.

Ping means NOTHING when you're dropping packets. I can have 20ms response times but if only have the data is S/R, I'M STILL LAGGING.

There is no excuse for SE not commenting on the situation. The issue is between SE and the T1 networks in Montreal, Cogent and Level 3 for most players. Not you or your ISP as it is outside your control and your ISP's network.

All the excuses here defending SE is selfish. It is SE's responsibility to resolve with the T1 networks in Montreal, period.

Some facts for my situation.
- I am within 350 miles of the server.
- My routing to the server is within 500 miles to the server.
- 12 hops to the server.
- No issues prior to 2.1, 20-30ms constant to server, zero packet loss.
- Since the issue started Cogent and Level3 are dropping packets, this is a greater problem than simple lag/latency.
- I pay for a 50/50 Internet Service.
- I pay my monthly fees.

Using a Proxy Service and not going through Cogent or Level3 networks brings my ping down to 40ms and zero packet loss.

Why should I have to pay for SE's issue with other T1 Companies by paying for a VPN/Proxy service?
