Red Ring of Death!

[Borfin]

I'm sorry but making 10 year old graphics look like 7 year old graphics and adding player housing is not enough to make me want to play that terrible game again.

I didn't say it would, but there WILL be people that it WILL be enough for, and this problem is going to be a large part of the reason why.

The fact of the matter is that WoW gameplay is crisp and responsive - part of why it's been so successful for so long. FFXIV's is not.

And just curious Borfin, have you done any troubleshooting on your end? Have you tried doing a ping and and route trace to SE's servers that show there is nothing wrong on your end?

Server connection's Excellent, my ping is less than 30 at any given time I log in. Last speed test I did gave me 38m/s download speed, 15m/s upload. Enough for practically my entire neighborhood, let alone my own home.

The fact you don't have issues in other games means absolutely NOTHING. Just go troubleshoot your stuff, that's ALL I'm saying lol.

Why do you assume I didn't? Is there anything in my post to suggest I've done anything BUT research the hell out of this issue?

I love this game. I won't be quitting, but I also don't want to see it go the way of SWTOR because the devs chose to turn a blind eye to the issue - and people white knighting it sure as hell aren't helping.

And take your "oo let's go play wow" somewhere else lol.

Oh the ignorance.

That isn't what a ping or route trace is...

If you trace your route and ping to their servers, it will tell you exactly what you are being routed through, each hop it makes, and the delay each hop takes. There may be ones taking too long, or timing out.
