A Healer's view of dungeon latency::

[Zwipe]

It's not just the new trials and dungeons. I observed this happening to our healer and tank in Titan (story mode) when I was plopped in there for low level roulette.

Experienced the exact same thing in Story mode last night. It was pathetic.

can somebody please tell me why im paying a monthly sub for a game that can barely function half of the time? im dieing to know. (literally, dieing all over the place in every dungeon)
this lag... has been hellish for me... ever since i started playing a month and a half ago, and now its so bad that i just sit there in my FC house because i get too much lag to do anything else.
ugh, this is so not how mmos were run if they had a monthly sub a couple years ago. i would kind of expect it once in a while in a f2p, but, yeah.

Before the patch the lag was contained within Arum Vale pretty much, but since they updated the servers it has spread everywhere.

I'm expecting an extended maintenance sometime this week.

It also seems to get a lot worse around US prime time which says it all really, they should just spend the money and give EU players their own datacentre.

STOP BEING SO TIGHT SE !!!

Lag starts at 16.00 GMT and 02.00 GMT when the daily reset happens and people log in to do dailies in the instances, and gets weaker up until the next reset time.
Morning time is when lag is the weaker. Lag will start again in 40 minutes.

in what universe is it ok for an mmo with a monthly sub to operate like that? i feel like if any other mmo was plagued by the lag this one has been experiencing, it would just die off. but thats not happining because of the nametag on this mmo. if i didnt mind crappy service, id be playing a f2p title, but i DO mind. thats why im playing a p2p game, because they arent suppose to have this crap happen constantly.

The lag happening now is new and due to 2.2. Prior to that is a very different story.

i am 100% aware of that. my point was that something is always wrong.

With your end or the path you take to get to the servers. Not absolutely with the game itself. Anecdote; I have friends in Hawaii that only have issue with Titan Ex/HM. It's almost always your connection or your setup.

However, if the game moved away from server side checks, everything would be smoother. Like most modern MMOs

I am a blm and just trying to cast a spell is a battle. Game is unplayable as is right now. They better fix asap or risk losing a lot of ppl.
