I've been having bad lag and high ping for the past 2 days but said nothing since I thought it could've been my internet.

Nope. Everything is fine on my end, no lag or ping issues in other games, but my ping is constantly above 200ms in FFXIV.

yeah it's possible it's been longer than today, today is just when I checked, if I tracert the ip they gave on the lodestone post about this issue I get what I expect as latency, however if I then do the same with the actual in game cactuar ip, it'll jump up massively and even route differently for some reason, no idea what's going on.

Well i let PingPlotter run just noght and looks like there is a bad Node again when connceting from EU to NA.

It was bad already this morning and it is even worse now!
Someone need to look into this issue, because in this state you can't doo anything besides Island and Chat Simulator!

Just got Malikah's Well for roulette when I went as DNC. It's barely playable, everything seems to happen by 1 second delay and in huge bursts. Kept missing the dances too.

Guess no FFXIV for the night.

I'm connecting to NA from EU, ping is spiking up to 600ms in game, macros for crafting aren't firing correctly... can't play DNC as it doesn't tell me my dance has registered until 1/2 a second after I've pressed it...

Tracert shows its gin.ntt.net within the US too:

Talked to some buddies and it seems to be affecting EU players only, particularly those who play on NA servers about evening/night time (so about later afternoon for US peeps).

[Asuka-Hykiri]

I noticed it about an hour and a half ago (10 BST) and seen it happen until about 6PM before.

[Rehayem]

Currently around 1 PM BST at the moment here and the lag has started. Can't gather nodes, and animation is stuck in between each hit for about 1-2 seconds. I've submitted my report with the tracert, but I have little hope or expectations for them do to anything.

Sadly having the same problem. Very noticeable latency issue over the last few days, has become progressively worse. Seemed to happen mainly during the evening (GMT). Used to get on average 140-160ms, now it's been at 400-600ms for the last 3-4 hours today. Game is completely unplayable, everything else works perfectly fine.
