Seems like no one cares about the lag

[SethosYaeRevelas]

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.

Ping spike starting an hour and 25 minute earlier than usual.@_@;; Ugh I hope this doesn't continue forward during this upcoming week...

[NevaehQuest]

Adding my experience. It seems to happen to me every night around 7:30 or 8 PM CST and lasts for an hour or longer. I can clear it up immediately by turning my VPN on, but I shouldn't have to rely on that.

Everything is fine until it jumps onto NTT's servers where the reliability of the connection falls dramatically.

what vpn are you using if i may ask?

[JohncarterIx]

Last night raids lagg lagg lagg went to pop a potion never poped died to lagg

[NevaehQuest]

I need to report a new bug that is making all the lag complains invisible in this forum.

[DesertRanger]

(Twintania/Light) I've also been having insane lag spikes every 30 seconds lately at peak hours. I stopped having them for a few weeks but now they're back. Samew as others, my friends see me as moving while I'm lagged out which is weird.
The only solution is using mobile data from my phone which for some reason fixes the problem. So I just do that when I have raids with my static.
This problem is preventing me from playing the game normally, hope they figure something out soon
