bad lag spikes since heavensward launch

[Alassea]

The lag I've been experiencing has been making this game damn near unplayable for me. I've done everything I can to get it to go away, but at this point its the game. No other game I play has this issue. This needs to be addressed.

I have been experiencing the same thing, mostly in dungeons, which isn't so great as a healer. :/

I'm really sorry to say this but Get used to it folks. This has been ongoing and will likely continue. It affects every service at some point and time. When I had Comcast I had this issue, and then when I changed to Verizon to try and alleviate it I unexpectedly began to rubberband/lag spike AGAIN. If you want to enjoy what you pay for then you need a VPN especially if you can't get anything other than the two net services I listed. And yes ps4 and PS3 can VPN I have and still do it currently until we get lucky again and can use our own connection by itself.

I really wish I had a better solution, I wish that I could offer more than a bandaid. But the powers that be have a chokehold on our connections, and they don't care at all about us trying to enjoy a game.

May I ask how do you setup VPN via PS4? I'd like to do this but have no clue where to start.

I can't post detailed reply ATM due to being at work and writing from my phone. But it requires you to have access to a computer/laptop (macs included). From your comp you set up the VPN server and connect an ethernet cable from your PS4/PS3 to your PC.

Ah I see, thanks very much. Are there any safety precautions when doing this like security issues? If you have anymore info to pass along I would appreciate it.

I have not encountered breach of security while in use of this service. I currently use VYPR VPN a service where their CTO has stated..."We go out of our way to avoid Level 3, not because we think they are bad guys, but because we know they are feuding with Verizon..." http://www.theverge.com/2014/7/18/59...ngestion-speed

If you plan to use a VPN, they typically offer a manual how-to guide for setting up a VPN server for Mac/PC sometimes other OS.
