More lags after creating data centers

[Esmian]

Fixed that for you.

To OP: I've been getting weird rubberbanding lag the last couple of days inside instances only. I don't see it outside in the world.

Yeah, my only actual lag in the game has been inside instances so far so I think there's something going on there. Hopefully nothing to do with the new changes to positional delay.

For good reason. Just about every other AAA MMO provides at least two data centers, on both the west and east coasts of America. AT LEAST.
Sqenix half assed it and took the cheap way out with one data center located in Vancouver.
That means people in California have to send packets 1/4 of the way around the planet to reach the server. And it's even worse for some people who are unfortunate enough to be even further away.

i'm from germany. don't have any issues with lag.

has been said time and time again on the forums (after 2.0), people still won't admit it, they say it's all on SE :x

Because it is. Before 2.1 came out, I had zero issues. After it comes out I get lag spikes in Duty Finder. The only variable that changed was SE data center reshuffle. And yea, I'm not the only one: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...Fast-Forwarded

I've gotten an increased amount of lag since the 2.1 patch.

The game is still a lagfest, depending on where you are.
Here in Socal for instance it's incredibly bad.

Socal? Southern California? That'd be news to me...

There are like ten million threads about the socal issue.

Never had an issue until after 2.1. Now I get frequent lag spikes in DF and everyone in the DF says the same.

Try defragging the computer / PS3 harddrive... On the PS3 Freezing thread, there is a link to a video that teaches you how to force cleaning the PS3 and defragging the HDD.

Seriously I've been lagging non-stop in-game. Every since the Dec 11 update, i've been getting awful graphical lag as well as server lag from the Dec 17 update. It's driving me nuts.

With every update recently something bad happens.
