No plans to fix the atrocious netcode?

[skillface]

Japan data centers use the same code as the NA datacenters. The only difference is that EU servers are based in NA and people in EU get 300 ping to servers they should be getting sub 100 to. I get 70ms to my server and have no issues with lag or ability delay at all (not including the animation delay that was intentional)

Oh you do, you just don't realize it. Thanks to the internal tick rate being 300ms, everyone has a bare minimum of an effective 300ms latency, regardless of where you live. Of course living outside of the US or Japan exacerbates the issue (to the point where if you're in Europe, Australia or any other area like that you're better off playing any other MMO, hell I get better performance with EVE Online as an Australian and the server is in LONDON).

Stop making excuses for SquareEnix. Other MMOs do NOT have this issue (other than SWTOR but even they managed to fix that I think, at least I haven't heard people complaining about it for ages, unless it's just because nobody plays it anymore).

"Well then move to a Japanese server" I hear you say. I was on Tonberry during Beta Phase 4, it wasn't much better than it is right now. Even though it's around 150ms to Japan vs. the 300ms to Montreal, you still have that internal 300ms to worry about, which (in the best case scenario) halves the benefit of playing on JP servers.
