Titan LAG complaint thread

[diulalasing]

Behold, the 1230712039701923719023 thread complaing about titan lag, and yet have not even google for possible solution, or thought about actually learning the fight to make better response to titan.

No, titan is not meant to be a first attempt and slain primal, its meant to be a blocker so it horns your skill and makes you a better player

Thank you so much for missing the point entirely. Congrats on your kill, you have a huge skill level! Now back to the matter at hand...

People saying "blaming lag because you can't dodge are just bad"... just don't get it

Sometime, the lag is so extreme that there is NOTHING to avoid
Like everything freeze for 10 seconds, Titan does not move, team does not move, I can launch spell but I cannot see the result
Then those 10 sec fast-forward and everything happen in 1 second

You cannot predict and avoid 10 seconds of attacks hoping to be at the right place!

And for me, it's really only in Titan and sometimes WP
Had no issue in Coil turn 1...

Sounds like it's a problem on your end, not SE's end.

crap, i forgot to zoom out, no wonder i couldn't see the point

I play routinely while on some sort of voice chat and streaming anime from funimation and rarely have latency problems. I even beat Titan HM under these same conditions.

haha I was lagging so badly (screen would freeze for 5-10 seconds and no one would be moving) the other healer just gave up ressing me.
Well thanks to the non lagged members they carried me through titan to get my relic lol

See, that's not lag. That's fps issues and not the fault of the server. Is your computer a bit underpowered, or just overdue for a cleanup (malware)/restart?

The dude is talking about packet loss, which is the fault of the game (not the server). This is not video lag or an FPS issue. The game stops running any movement (but it's still rendering at 60 FPS) because a packet got dropped and it's waiting to get that packet to then speed the simulation up back to real time.

Most other MMOs don't use TCP for their network protocol, so when a packet gets dropped it can just continue with the latest date in the next packet (and interpolate between them). FFXIV has to wait for all packets to arrive, and in order, before it can process them.

The developers have already acknowledged that there is a problem with movement in the game, and responsiveness. It's time to stop defending SE here, since they are not even defending themselves anymore.

Seeing how this lag only started a week ago or so could be the malware thing. I've been viciously scanning my computer with malware bytes & avast and haven't found anything. Perhaps I'll give spybot a shot too?

This is exactly what happens. It started a week ago when I joined up Garuda HM and I also got 90k'ed in the process. Since it's never happened before I'm not sure if it's last week's maintenance that is to blame or my computer getting possibly infected (nothing found after a few scans though). Up to Ifrit HM I've not had any lag issues but suddenly constant freezeups. This also now happens to me in Amdapor Keep and Wanderer's palace - again all since last week's maintenance. I'll do some more scanning to see if it's really me but I'm also inclined to think something got messed up with the DF servers.

I wasn't defending them, I was just distinguishing from the overall lag term. I've never seen the game purely freeze, and would still assume it was my machine / a rendering glitch that caused it, and not lag, though some people do call it "fps lag".
