Laaaaaaaag

So after a week of searching I finally was lucky enough to get a decent Hydra party put together (great people to talk to, great gear on players) I really thought we would win this. We tried four times, but each time there was SOOO much lag that the party kept wiping. Nothing worse than everything going still, only to have it jerk to hydra being on top of me and half the party dead. VERY FRUSTRATING.

And it isn't just Hydra, I notice similar issues in dungeons like WP and AK and Ifrit where I will be well out of the danger zone, but still get hit for damage when it goes off. I would really like it to be easier to find a Hydra party first of all. And second of all I really hope the server gets to the point where as I move off of areas that I am no longer in the area. As a BLM, I need to know when I can move and when it is safe to finish the tail end of a spell so I don't get interrupted by leaving my spot.

I was going to say maybe people aren't avoiding the fear that would look like "lag" and sometimes can one shot people if their hp is low. But I've had people in my FC experience lag, but I never have. I'm not sure what to make of it.

I use cable for my internet so maybe that's a factor, but I doubt it. Meh who knows. I just hope it gets fixed before too many people rage quit.

Just had a lovely HM garuda experience, super laggy + she turned invisible a few times (still won though, don't ask me how) also got 90k'd twice so I assume the maintenance tonight will be fixing it.

I run a cable line, and I usually don't lag so bad, but I do notice it from time to time. It's frustrating because of how much of the game is built around response/movement. In a normal dungeon lag isn't bad, I just miss a few hits on some trash mobs. But when it is a critical fight and so much has to go right, there isn't room for so much lag.

Dude dude dude. I experienced some really bad lag today, (Lag spikes actually) I was in CM and it seemed like I d/c'ed but no after about 10 secs everyone began moving again (Very very fast) and then they would stop (Another lag spike) and then again and again. I had this lag throughout the entire run, it was very very undesirable.

Wait until you are attempting to attack a boss and the attack is "out of range" even though the boss is right there in front of you. Then, once you find the boss by seeing the cone on the floor (boss on your screen is in the other room) and it is wiping your party, but you are powerless because the boss is still "out of range". It turns a PLD into a healer real quick because the only thing you can target is your party. It's just lovely. Hopefully you have rez on your bar.

Hey, but SE is going to fix that... soon.
