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

[Mirateski]

~110ms > 220-230ms, Midlands UK. Feels the same for me because I just super upgraded my laptop, but it also sorta feels like I wasted all the money upgrading, you know?

My partner is on ps4 but is experiencing similar delays to me, so I imagine hers is around the same. I was already having trouble with ghost AoEs etc while raiding... will probably have to move to EU servers and hope they follow through with house plot reimbursement.

I'm going to sound selfish here, but I don't care about complaints from EU players. They CHOSE to play outside of their region even though they have their own data center. NA data center should be about what is convenient for NA players, not EU players. You have your own data center for a reason.

To be honest, you sound more ignorant than selfish.

Lots of us, EU players, started to play this game 7 years ago, where there was only JP Datacenter.
3 Years later they moved our worlds to an NA Datacenter.
Only recently they opened an EU Datacenter with new worlds.
When you have 7 years of friendship, memories, stories, LS, FC, Static, Houses, millions of gils, etc. you don't trade all this for a Datacenter.

On a side note, high ping would not be an issue in DPS if SE could accept to change their netcode, making the location of a Datacenter quite irrelevant as much as you don't have something above 250ms.
What we need, is a new way to handle communication between client and server, because weaving 3 oGCD during 2,5 sec with 0,2 sec ping without clipping GCD, is possible if you don't have to wait for the server permission everytime you trigger a skill.
The problem lies in the netcode. We could all enjoy the Datacenter we want, if they could modify the netcode. So this is what you want to rant about.

And you really couldnt fit that into one of the other 34089120349801580565t25901 outcry threads?

Wait? You had problems with ghost aoes at 110ping? I don't have that problem with 180 ping. 260 ping, sometimes.

[Inue]

honestly that sounds like the best decision really.
because of this move my ping has shot up to 170, and i'm still in the states. my girlfriend, who lives in the EU, now has to transfer out because of how unplayable it is.
i may as well quit until Square does something... IF they do something. its better than paying to play alone.
thanks for ruining everything Square. hope you enjoy your stupid vacation property that you just HAD to have instead of getting something in Central America where everyone would benefit. or, you know, having both east and west coast servers like every other friggin' mmo.

Well, I have been playing this game at 180+ping for $25 NZ dollars a month (using pingreducing VP thingies) so I can't say I feel sorry for you. And the game was perfectly playable at 260ping for me. Even when doing PvP.

Oh lord no, it wasn't my ping doing that - my partner had no problems at all with the old ping. It was my crap-bucket laptop and the way it struggled to deal with ff14 even on minimal settings that caused the problem, definitely client-side. Which is why I never really complained about it.

60's=>90's ping. Kentuckian gamer here. Don't really notice a difference yet...

Provider is Timewarner/Spectrum.

70ish in Texas now, not sure what it was but doesn't feel different.

[Mikira]

SW Indiana here 120 to 160 no VPN was around 60 to 80 at old location, ping pretty much doubled for me. Really hate the fact that I might have to get a vpn service just to play the game for progression raiding.
