The lag has started again. Half of my alliance dropped, the other 1/4 red dotted and came back. I saw a lag burst but was okay on my end.

We had to cancel raid on Tuesday because of rubber band lag and 2 people (Diff timezone and ISP) kept dropping.. and we are all hoping very much the server cooperates with us tonight. 3 of us seemed to be OK while the other 5 stopped seeing their abilities go off. We gave it 4 attempts each foiled by lag, another hour wasted.

I have a difficult time believing this is ISP or DDOS related when most of the time I am personally staying connected fine. I play on a laptop connected wirelessly to my router and get excellent pings in raids. My wife is wired in on PS4 and is about had it with this game..

.. we just don't understand what's taking so long to fix this? If this was free to play that's one thing, but it really has gotten bad enough NOW that it needs some serious attention. 60% of the people I encounter have issues, 40% do not.

I do not see the lag as much as others but it is starting to affect my game play, like I said half of my alliance just disconnected. I have joined a few in progresses now where it has been destroyed by server dropping all but two players.

Again, I thought servers were upgraded to support Stormblood, but others are telling me no.. they were just moved. Well whatever the case, I feel like the game ran better at expansion launch, aside from lining up at NPCs for a couple days .. at least we could raid and the instance was smooth.

SE please put more resources toward this and update the community on any progress.
