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

I love how the west coast players immediately try to make fun of people who are legit having issues. The entitlement is real.

Sorry OP but this is what I considered unplayable:

It was me when EU was in NA location. Needless to say, I always were turned down by "stop making excuses", "noob bard", "git gut" and other phrases I cannot report here to avoid indecency. Thanks to all of them, I learnt to make only my own business when in a duty and pretty ignore every and all comments coming from the party chat.

normies get out

That's good for you. I'm close to Eastern Europe, with a new ping of 200 and the delay is horrible. I get hit by something I dodged about 2 seconds ago, my abilities don't go off properly, I tested it in Dun Scaith and died to things I didn't even get a chance to react to...

Fellow European, I'm so sorry I've practiced these instances a lot with 160-180 ping and for the most part could move in time even with 220. There have been moments of - I can sneak one more attack, and I got hit even if out of AoE zone but that was what happened to me with the old ping as well. I understand your frustrations but beyond learning the fights very well and moving in advance, there is little one can do in our case.
The ping was more noticeable to me as BRD than WHM.

Your wife is so slow she almost let people die? I don't think you should be blaming the server for her being slow, tell her to get faster with her pressing of buttons before you blame other people.

You heard the man, shut it down, shut it all down

But how are we supposed to know where that next aoe will be placed MuseTraveller? We are no fortunetellers, right?

People is having real problems and this affects people on the west coast, JP and EU as well, since this can make people leave FFXIV and we don't want that, so there's no need to make fun of them because who knows, maybe you will have the same problem one day, and you wouldn't want people to laugh at you in that case, but help you instead. So be more respectful with people who is having legit ping problems, stop acting that low.


Give it a week until servers get stable, hopefully ping will get better. If not, then you guys should continue showing SE how bad was their decision until they do something!

No,we're just annoyed/perplexed by all the "my old ping of 30 is now 90 which makes the game unplayable" statements when that's what us west coasters had for years without issue. NA players who are getting pings higher than 150 is most likely due to a less than average ISP and not the location. An decently average connection will net pings of 100ish even from the other coast. Not everyone has access to or can afford a decent connection , though, so I feel for people in that situation. Case in point, when 2.0 first launched, I could only afford the budget low speed package with my isp and I had 175 ping to Montreal from Vancouver. It resulted in me taking a break from the game because I was having a hard time completing end game content. When I upgraded to my provider's standard average connection a couple of years later I got a much better 90 ping.

Some regions, like South America, do appear to have significant increases to already relatively high pings due to out of the way routing, but even that's something that is not entirely out of the realm of expectation. Connecting to an international server is not likely to be speedy regardless of location. There are even some international regions without native server locations that got an increase. I believe some oceanic players are experiencing this for example.

Dream scenario would be to split the data centers between east and west and let those in the middle pick which ever of the two is best for them.

But yeah, the developers suck for this.
