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

Yes I'm looking something like VPN I'm completely oblivious as to how it works or what does it do.im wired too.

Thanks to the server move to improve stability and traffic to the game, has created mixed opinions.

People has seen their latency reduce , some have seen their latency increase. (As you probably expected and tested to begin with)I think the most affected ones were EU players. When chaos data was transferred​ to EU side you were given NA players the option to transfer out for free to a NA server for free due to the fact they were gonna be the ones who were gonna suffer the most in latency being moved further away to benefit others (EU players) now the issue arrising is the other way round.

Could we , us EU players get given the chance to a transfer to a EU server for free with no gil or any kind of restrictions at all?

Someone of us would like to get ready for stormblood before rather than no after.

Thanks

Nope.

The only people with a legit right to complain are those from South America and other similar regions that are getting 300+ ms latency due to them allegedly being routed through Europe. THOSE numbers are what needs some working on by SE.

Those getting just a wee smidgen above 100ms? You guys seriously need to get in the shoes of the rest of us who play on the other side of the Pacific for a little perspective, and perhaps learn how we deal with our "literally unplayable latency."

[Aronys]

Clearly. I must be halucinating. My ping must actually be 0, I imagined the 2 and 0 before it, silly me.

[gumas]

^agree, those with 300ms latency (especially with screenshot posted) are legit and have right to be mad and complain, and i support you guys because 300ms is indeed and rightfully unplayable

For those with 1st world problems saying 100ms is unplayable, you only have 2 choice, get used to it or quit. Dont expect people to pat your shoulder and support you, at best people will told you to "git gud"

100ms is literally godsend for the norm here, we play with average 150-200ms and we still fully 100% enjoying the game, in fact we never thought about the lag at all, so saying you have 100ms and cry about it is pretty dumb

i also see many threads popping out and start badmouthing yoshi and the game..... Then they fully expect people to be on their side.

All i can say is "You sir has no problem, you just create your own just because."

100ms unplayable? Disagree and liar. 100ms is normal playable.
You are just inexperienced player for ping.
I was 90+ms, this is no problems with my BLM or other cast class since played for 3 years.
Get a better ISP or stop complains yourself.

(now 40-50ms for me. I know where server hardware is.)

Hello everyone. So I've been seeing a lot of discontent among players regarding ping and the server change. While I feel for those who are having sever issues I'm not entirely sure its due to what you think it is.

I live in Missouri so I'm slightly east but mostly central. I've personally not experienced any change in performance due to the change. However that may be because I'm used to "sub par" performance. In the past I've only had issues on the weekend when my neighbors actually use the single internet line we have in the neighborhood.


In short I tested my ping and it runs from 97-130 (while running Discord, and Chrome with youtube on) with a single spike to 270 with no change. So maybe the problem isn't your internet but your connection to it. I use an Ethernet cable to connect to my modem it cost me less than 20 bucks and it fixed similar issues I had been having with overwatch and dark souls back when I was using wireless.

I'm not an expert but maybe you guys should do some research about your own gear before you cry fowl. And even then the servers have just been set up. it may take some tweaking before things become optimal again. so please be patient

[eschaton]

Maybe you missed it, but people didn't change their PC-setups, the datacenter changed. So that's why.

[Nestama]

Thing is people have 100-200 ping thinking its ok for some reason. Most if not all of them are the bad players thst never do anything but dungons.

Gosh. I guess I better tell my friends how terrible of an Australian player I am... I hope they can take the news well.

[gumas]

Because some people are too hardcore about it

Increase ping mean their performace will go down and that mean they are not in the high end 1% player group anymore (you know, those people who yell at you because your dps is 3% lower than standard, or get angry because the dungeon end 5 seconds late than usual)

Thing is, this ping discussion is divided into 2 category:

1. The one who got huge increase from 90s to 300s, this one legit and i feel sorry for them because not just their perfomance will drop by huge margin, its pretty much almost unplayable.

2. The one who only got miniscule increase from 50s to 100s then cry about it because its "unplayable" for them. All i can say is, get used to it or go ahead quit, no one will miss you.
