I'm learning a lot in here, wow.

For some reason, I recall multiple instances of 230 ms ping being labeled a comfortable limit for high ping to still play FFXIV reliably. Years ago. That's half a second delay and still being able complete any encounter.

I've always played with high ping, every test getting around 190 to 210. I have one of my area's best services from my ISP. This fully explains *why* DT content suddenly feels so brutal while others just do not see or feel it as a problem beyond lack of skill. That comfortable ceiling got drastically lowered with zero change on how our games communicate with the server. Thousands of us are just screwed over.



That's bad.
