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

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.

No, there are possibly many players better than you that have 100-200ping. Ping doesn't make the player, skill does. Now stop acting all entitled, all Aussies have had to put up with 150ms++ ping for years now with no complaint. It is NORMAL to us lol and we clear content just fine.

Are you even from North America?

If not, your voice on where servers designated from a region you\\'re not even a part of counts for nothing. Be thankful that you have the privilege to even play on them.

I sincerely hope your reply was meant as a joke.

Cheers,

I could even entertain a theory someone posted otherwhere, though it might end up being just a fancy. First of, they needed new servers and they needed them now, since some of the planned features for SB couldn't have been realised in the old servers. They chose NTT because they have done business with them in Japan. And NTT is having a new datacenter in Texas but possibly that was not ready to make the transfer at this point yet, but the transfer had to be made. By this theory they willmove again, in the Texas location when it is ready, a move that might be easier when moving inside NTT infrastructure. But then again, that's just a theory.

Then they would have to determine which ones go to which coast in which group. Primal West Aether East? And then hit the fall out from even that. No one is ever happy.

Not to mention have to set up a new east coast center - just leaving the old one would not have worked as it was the data center itself that was the issue with the previous one being an impediment to things like inventory expansion and non-split cities.

Please remember that FFXIV is officially sold in Brazil and maybe in other countries in South America and the decent latency we used to have is gone. After the change I have to deal with a 300ms latency and my FC colleagues are reporting 270-350ms. We don't have anywhere else to go other than quit the game.

The best case scenario is that SE creates east cost servers, since the company that is hosting their data has data centers on both west and east regions. They solved the problem for a group of players which I'm happy for, but at the cost of another group.

This change did nothing but make it harder to ogcd rotations for people. All this lag still exists and I quote another friend:

In short the game is simply worse with the move for more people then it helped.

Wow the entitlement is real. Oceania have had to deal with 150ms ++ ping for years dude. Get with the times and shove that privilege elsewhere.

I also challenge that quote, check FFLOGs, Oceania is still very competitive despite the ping lol.

Stop being entitled for a game you pay monthly for and accept this pants on head retard decision.

Hi, I support this option for european players, but remember as well that south american players don't even have this option and we now have 300ms latency. The game is officially sold in Brazil.
