For past few days crazy rubberband lag on a powerful rig with 10ms/70+ Mbps connect..

dont you think its retarded how you have to get a 3rd party app to make the game work

Oh my god, I could kiss everyone in this thread that recommended the WTFast. Just did several flawless dungeon runs, no problems.

How the hell did this fix the problem so easily?

Because it is a problem along the route your ISP and their partners are using to get you to SE's servers. Using a VPN or Proxy service that offers a more optimized route is allowing you to avoid the over congested hops you are being directed to normally.

Today I noticed hotbar actions just not firing off on command, which is slowing combos for hate. I'm hoping the problem is addressed as being on PS3 and I did the DMZ which I thought initially fixed the problems but it's back again. I have to agree with your comment, it doesn't make sense to have to pay extra to play 14. I could understand if everything had lag/spikes/disconnects but I been testing on PC/PS3 and everything runs fine but 14. I'm hoping to see a resolution but as long as my friends are playing I will have to do my best with what we have.

The extra hurdles to entry is what gives that old familiar Final Fantasy MMORPG feeling. The hallmark of Square MMOs is that you practically have to fight them into letting you play their games.

I really hope this issue gets fixed before my free trial runs out because yeah, it's a mite ridiculous that I have to go through a proxy just to not rubberband all over a dungeon.

This crazy rubberband lag started happening to me since Friday. First time I've had this problem ever since I got the game a few months ago.

Saturday morning it went back to normal and I was able to play but this morning it went back to "slow motion mode".

Just adding my two cents, I have the same issues as listed by everyone else. I would say this became noticeably bad AFTER they performed their maintenance last week on the 26th or whatever day last week. Tracert shows the same hop lagging horribly for me and I was getting consistent 90000 errors last night trying to do extreme mode primals. There would either be rubberbanding and everything freezes up for a second or two or I would just get kicked instantly with a 90k error. This is from Western Mass using Charter Internet.

am I in the minority where WTFast doesn't work for me?

I was doing a Pharos and I got two 90ks and caused two wipes because of rubberbanding issues. I kind of don't want to play this game anymore due to these issues.

I still have the lag issue up to now.
SE did nothing to it.

I'm still having this issue, uploading a video now.

Started yesterday for me 1/11/13. Issue is as described. Ability would come off cool down and be ready, however, on attempting to use i would get the "ability not ready " message. The cool down shader will then return on the ability for 2-3 secs.
