I don't know what you guys did, but the problem is 90%-resolved, my ping is still 200-ish (previously stable at 80-ish), but there is no more RTO, so I can play again
duty roulette, instance, quest can progress normally although my sixth-sense in dodging have to be improved due to latency increase

And for that, thank you

I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT TIMING BECAUSE IT JUST HAPPENS WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT (MORE LIKELY WHEN IN AREAS WITH MORE PLAYERS SUCH AS MOST MAJOR CITIES, IT SEEMS), IT WAS LIKE THIS WHEN MY MAIN WAS IN HYPERION BUT MOSTLY HAPPENED AT 3AM EST THEN

More info: It been happening since 25th December (the day that submarine cable fault is reported), my ISP did log the submarine cable issue and eventually was resolved after 2 weeks, but the lagging and ping spikes during peak hours issue still persisted till today. Its making progging in Savage not possible during the weekdays.

It's been rubberbanding/lagging for me for the past week by at least 8-10 seconds. I can't even craft properly. Weaving is impossible, half the time it doesn't even recognize the combo. I'm on console so there's only so much I can look at (that I know of). It keeps telling me my connection is poor but all my other online games/streaming services/etc work fine. I showed my connection as Excellent this morning and it STILL lagged.

[Deenosaurus]

Multiple dc's every 5 to 60 minutes, randomly happening, troubleshooting done, isp is fine, other games or twitch are working flawless. Game unplayable, unsubscribed until fix. At first the damn queues, now the random dcs, this just causes headaches. After 3 years im kinda forced into a break, thanks.
