Ping of 200+

[Skreeps]

Call them that is not right, game isn't working for you doesn't mean 100% everyone is not working. Got to be your end ISP issues that most ISP will always deny problems as long it can connect. They don't give a dam about latency to be honest unless your line is completely cut out.

My ping is 50ms over Fiber optic line - I'm in NA. So I can tell you there are no latency issues with the server. If the server is the cause of latency - I would be complaining too.

Try to have some perspective from other side of the world.

I'm not an expert in this so correct me if I'm wrong but you're saying you're from NA and you're fine but why would you even have latency if you're from NA? People in this thread are all from Portugal (I think). Also looking at the thread it's happening in different ISPs too, I've played for over 5 years and this never happened before, I doubt multiple ISPs would just suddenly have worse connection in only a specific game. But yes it's good to have some perspective from the other side of the world. It may not be happening to everyone but I have a couple of friends who live in different locations in Portugal with distinct ISPs and we all have the same problem.

Right but Square Enic is not the ISP boss (another word internet regulator)... They have no power to control the connnection line outside of the server building - I am not sure what you really want to do from SE, I'm not defending SE - this is just technical logic aspect how things are operating.

It appears if everyone in Portugal to EU server are having issue, then the datacenter of the ISP (do not mix up with DataCenter of FFXIV game given that it has the same wording). ISP Datacenter is basically the network node hop between service line. That node is probably overwhelmed with connections. Much like the cities main highway is under heavy traffic.

Alright i can understand that, but how come it's only happening on FFXIV, every other game or internet service is fine.
And nonetheless they could still try to not sound like we're talking to machines with copy paste default answers and try to explain to us the problem, like you just did, but I guess that's another problem that isn't really relevant.
Guess we'll just have to wait and see if it's magically solved or not...
