[Data Center USA] Ping increased. Report your changes here.

I can, people going from the 20-40 range will notice the difference hell I do I live about 6 hours from the old servers but I can feel the difference in ping already not unplayable but it is annoying. I can feel the delay on some of my skills it's not much but it's there. Am I going to quit because of this no, will I need to learn to adjust for this since I can promise it will carry over to how early I have to dodge the AOE's in fights which at first is going to suck and it's why I wish they went with a Central server that way no one really could complain.

Yeah, it is noticeable, but I agree that it's not deal breaking. I went the other direction where I now no longer have that teensy tiny, little delay at the end of every ability before the next queued one kicks in. I certainly didn't have any issues completing content or weaving ogcd abilities in without clipping the next one.

Are you serious?
I was raiding from West coast to our previous server location (so Montreal) with 120 ms ping...

GL double weaving with 100+ latency js

I was getting 50ms before so this is a pretty big jump to the point I cannot play SMN/BRD effectively. I'm also having issues properly slidecasting on BLM It will be a pretty big adjustment for me and I may just drop BRD as my secondary class altogether.

It will be interesting to see if player performance in the east coast/europe overall goes down due to this.

Guess you should uninstall then?

White Knights on high alert I see.

EU have every right to be upset if they feel their ping increased too much for them personally.
I wouldn't outright quit the game as long as I could still enjoy myself, but I would be upset.

We are, but what can we really do?
There is still no word on a free transfer option.

snip.

You *CAN* double weave at 200+, but you will clip GCD and it will hurt your performance a bit. I'm not pulling anything out of my rear; people have said for the past few years that even 80+ makes double weaving frustrating because of gcd clipping. I have been on 40-50ms for the past few years, so I can't say exactly where that threshold is, but I can tell you that just dummy testing alone makes it feel clunky with gcd clipping, and on mch with rapidfire I can't ogcd at all without clipping into gcd. I didn't have that problem before, and I've played MCH since it was added to the game.

Maybe it won't hurt much after I get used to it and adjust accordingly, but it's still kind of silly to have better ping to EU servers when I live in New York. West coast players have complained about ping for years, so why flip the issue now?

If the aether ip address going around is correct then I'm sitting at an average 152 ping in central england. Not to shabby

[Jxnibbles]

My ogcds on bard are clipping into my gcds.. Yay... I miss my old ping.

[MuseTraveller]

Lol 100ms is unplayable what? I've been running with 160-180 from EU just fine and being able to clear and farm everything. Now I saw my ping jumped to 220 and it's scary but I can't jump the gun before I see how it feels in game. I'm on a NA server due to friends and I made lots of them there. I don't feel comfortable even thinking about moving. I'm upset, yes. But I stayed on a NA server cause the old ping was perfectly fine and no one expected such drastic change with the servers moving. I don't get you people tossing a fit over getting 100 and bellow even.

[Zumi]

My ping went down to 38 with the move. It actually made the game a lot more responsive.

Results from 20 pings: Minimum = 101ms, Maximum = 233ms, Average = 114ms Oh boy! I can't wait to do EX trials now! Thank you Squeenix for screwing over the northeast by choosing California and not somewhere in the middle.
