Physical/regional servers FINALLY confirmed ??! (Y)

[Griss]

Jumping to conclusions YAAAAAAAY!!!

By the way guys heres how you check your latency to your server

I only know 2 direct server adresses so here they are

Durandal - 202.67.51.111
Ragnarok - 202.67.51.121 or 120 (a bit hazey in memory)

So you basically ping those

to run a ping test got to CMD or command prompt in windows.

Type:

ping -t 202.67.51.111

And it should start pinging the address through your router.

Thanks Jinko, someone that understand what i mean ...

Guys, if i say that it's because i have a lot of friends that left xiv cuz of lag first of all!

Most of them are now doing Nightmare modes on SW (and some of them are crazy hard yeah)...

So when i show them a video of what has been implemented on XIV, like Chimera, Garuda and etc. they simply laugh at me saying things like:

-What kind of gameplay is that? All bind to the ground spamming actions?
-WTF ranged shooting besides the rock and they don't get loss of target??
- Why everything feels so heavy, slow and static?
- Lol everyone ranged, 5 same class in a pt, where is the balance? etc

And i simply can't contrast -what they say because i played always with them, did many first kill on wow (like lich king hm ) and so i know what they mean.

SO i REALLY hope that 2.0 will succeed for me, ( so i can tell them that i was hoping the right :P) , and for all the ppl that quitted before like my friends to bring them back.

Sorry guys

Really hate to say it but I really hope 2.0 doesnt turn into anything like suggested above first of all

WOW ruined MMOs!!!!!

They brought in instant gratification and easy achievements and WTF Achievements !! thats a stupid COD concept


Secondly the idea of most final fantasy is slow-medium paced imersive combat where strategy is prioritized above twitchy button pressing. (agreed FFXI was VERY slow - but the strategy element was perfect)

Now wow lich king and big SW monsters spamming loads of buttons sounds fun in some ways but tbh i can get the same kind of excitement from BF3 or Call of Duty.

Second WOW hard lol...

Try Old school COP or Bahmut pre all this lvl 90 bull crap and abysea or whatever its called.

Here a comparison of what insta grat games bring to the MMO community

firstly 2007 very fun fight Bahmut V1

And heres another great old vid from the good old days of difficulty

Bahmut V2 - 18 man battle !!

And yes they are sub bosses awfully strong as well spawned during the fight and u have to kill them quick cos mega flare kills if bahmut uses it

The fact of the matter is your are smack in the middle of both regions, your latency is going to be half of what an EU player experiences.

I'm not though, my ping to japan is 350ms and I'm 10300 ish km away, it's roughly the same distance as most of EU players. Some slightly more, some slightly less.

Because I'm the same distance away from most of EU (not half the distance like you seem to think), I'm just not understanding why others complain so heavily about the lag.

I have a pimped out rig with the highest speed internet I can get and I'm right in the city, so I'm not faced with every problem that most are.
However, even with my internet, if I play on my laptop, I experience lag. I'm not talking framerate lag either, i'm talking serious delay in enemy response and when i get off my chocobo.
On my laptop I consider the game unplayable for most things, that's why i only use it to craft.

I've got it pegged as hardware related lag.
If I had to guess, it's the nvidia gtx 540m.

But it shouldn't be the distance. Google the distances, Toronto Canada.

*cough*
So after over a year of having my laptop, I changed a setting and I can play the game with HQ graphics >.>;
I feel silly -.-;

I've played both CoP pre nerf and WoW heroic raids, and WoW is much much more difficult.

You sound like someone who has played WoW for a week and not even experienced Heroic raids.

Well if its not frame rate issues and its not latency issues what is it ?

It's one or the other, I didn't realise you get 300 ms from Canada my bad, even so you think 300ms isn't something to be concerned about ?

I sure as hell do, granted this game may not have fast paced battle like WoW, but it does require quick thinking when moving out of eruptions/plumes and other stuff.

I hope that in 2.0 the servers will allow for even more complex boss fights, the only problem then is the latency messing that up.

Ifrit isn't that hectic and we all know how many issues that causes.

P.s you say its not frame rate related but then blame the graphics card, make up your mind :P

Has everyone forgotten that Yoshi already explained his plans to create both regional AND global servers for 2.0? This has already loooong been decided since before 2.0 was announced.

Yup but people here seem to be under the impression that they can dictate what the dev team can and can not do, just because they don't agree with it.

This forum is a double edged sword.

Jumping to conclusions YAAAAAAAY!!!

They need to add a filter for that, it ruins my forum going experience when I see people Jumping to conclusions. >.> <.<

They said they might add regional servers, and they did.

Ragnarok

Now if you are talking about regional servers located in Europe, or the US. He never said that, and the quote in the OP doesn't imply that at all. It just means an announcement about lag or latency, most likely about how 2.0's server will improve this.

This. People should stop using old interviews as citations when they haven't even read the content.
