Yoshi P addresses lag. Its time to deliever...

#1 Most important thing : LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE RUBBISH INTERNET CONNECTIONS.

All this is true, except you forgot some other important steps to check on your own system.

Adding/changing these to the appropriate numbers on your own system registry

Registry Updates:
TcpAckFrequency = 1
TCPNoDelay = 1
TcpDelAckTicks = 0

and removing energy saving measures (such as ones that can cause your network card to go to sleep)

These registry setting were what fixed my own systems 'lag' in fights like titan so I was able to complete them properly.

I'll play Devil's Advocate a bit: They are using some new techniques that may change how MMOs work in the future to potentially run better. Everything is moving to server side programming in business, so why not MMOs? It's a good idea in practice, but it came with some bumps. Most connections recovered no problem from this. 0.3s delay (which almost all MMOs currently have): Why not try reducing this to 0.1s? Functionally, this worked for much of the population, but this specific issue pertains only to certain portions of its player-base. If it gets resolved, which I imagine they are working on, it will make the game run smoother for everyone again.

A lot may say "don't fix what isn't broken", but that's just technology. If you stay stagnant in tech and never try anything new, we wouldn't have some of the capabilities we currently do. The reason they wouldn't have been able to test this on a FTP model is simply that, for the time being, these new practices are cost-heavy.

Somehow your reasoning appears to me as -- some of us are paying to be 'lab rats' to try out this new technology and suffer its consequences? Sounds like a good deal...

People here can claim that they work as this and that I CAN claim i'm the president of the USA.
The fact is that this game has a lot of issues that in a PTP type of game shouldn't be happening
I play PSO2 A FTP game that is extremely action oriented and have NO LAG whatsoever(servers are in Japan)
and in FFXIV sometimes i have rubber band lag.
This is full of ....

What lag ?

[Zendy]

Well, I've tried EVERYTHING on this list and the lag still makes high level content unplayable for me. I'm either stuck with the damage if the AoE graphic starts on me (no matter how fast I move out) or everything locks up for 1 to 3 seconds.

No other game has lag like this for me currently. In particular, "The Secret World" has very similiar fight mechanics and NO LAG.

If someone from SE just acknowledged there was a problem, I'd happily level lower classes or craft or something until it was fixed. However, they seem to just be hoping that everyone with a problem unsubscribes.

So I unsubscribed. I wonder how long I'll have before they delete my poor characters? (And sorry guys I already gave away my gil...)

Yoshi P doesn't (want to) understand the real issue here. If the game can check player position against AOE on client side (like most MMORPG if not all), people will be fine even with 200-300 ping. But that will be a massive job to do.

But this could lead to massive exploits, like miner bots being able to warp between mining points underground. >.>

Most of it *isn't* SE's problem or anything they can even fix.

There is, however, a documented problem involving the transition of networks in montreal, canada (Not part of SE's network). There is nothing SE can do out of its own personal realm of control. There isn't a whole lot more they are capable since not everyone is affected by the lag. If services such as those posted near the start of this thread make you connection better, it is in fact your connection (the routing to their particular servers from your ISP) and not SE.

This is amusing LOL.

Boycott Netflix in America, and don't stream movies.

Fun Fact:

Netflix is more than 1/3 of all bandwidth consumption in the united states. All streaming media is more than half.

I dont Boycott Netflix as a whole. Just their streaming... because the selection is just horrible.
