[Dev response requested] Unplayable lag since the hotfixes

[Luhy]

I saw on reddit that this is a thing. I thought I had a night of bad traffic or something.

I have Verizon FIOS and 60 download 15 upload and have never lagged in this game. I'm fine on any sort of test. I can't imagine that this is on my side of things. Freezing for 10 seconds at a time in the middle of Ifrit EX and Twintania is not fair to the rest of my group.

Is this being addressed? Is this known by the devs?

Had the same thing happen to me tonight when I was running Titan. Would love to get this addressed. I also have Verizon Fios.

Not an internet tech by any stretch of the imagination, but every time I get lag like that, I just reboot my modem and router then the problem goes away. Just something to try, if you haven't already.

Pointing out the obvious is always a good way to up the post count.

I just went from one thread (turn 2 enrage strat) to this and you're posting useless, idiotic drivel here too. If you've paid any sort of attention at all for the past few months you would have seen that it has everything to do with the way your ISPs are sending your information. If they're routing you through cogentco to get to their servers then you'll lag and time out the connection very briefly. This is easily seen through a tracert for those with issues. This is also why using a VPN/tunnel service makes the lag go away as long as it doesn't take the same route.

As far as turn 2 strat if they never meant for people to survive or try to do it on a soft enrage than it would have been a hard enrage from the start or at least changed to it many patches ago when people first started doing it. My FC has done it w/ rot passing for the longest time and killed it every week just fyi.

You're the worst kind of person on the holidays; a troll.

You both have the same problem on the same ISP. Maybe you should call up your ISP and find out whats going on?

You would think so. I don't have "unplayable lag" at all and I'm certainly not on Verizon Fios. Got a FC member also on Fios that's having issues, so I think it's safe to say it's currently an ISP issue that SE can't actually fix (as they don't run the ISP.)

Assumptions, assumptions, assumptions...

SE had their own ISP network maintenance. Looking at my netlog from the 25th and 26th and being a Verizon FiOS customer, the issue isn't even coming from Verizon for me. I get all my packet loss from Ormuco nodes, which is SE's ISP in Montreal.

Thus it would be SE's problem in my case, not my ISP.

Then how come the majority, if not all the people with the issue are Verizon customers? There was another online game I played, i've forgotten what it was now, but we had many people with issues and it all boiled down to Verizon there as well. Not saying it IS them, but if it indeed wasn't Verizon, why is only Verizon seemingly having the issue?

Yes, because the countless "I'm using Verizon and seem to have issues" on here as well as other forum communities is just..assuming it's verizon - I mean, clearly there's no common factor in people with "unplayable lag" lately.

Fyi, if it's SE's ISP that would mean everyone playing XIV ARR to this date would have unplayable lag, no exceptions. There's problems over in that side of the country which means hops by certain ISPs are affected - Verizon clearly being one of them. I'm not on Verizon and I'm not having this issue, however people in my FC on Verizon internet/Fios are having this issue...yes, assumptions..assumptions...

People really hate to admit when it can be their problem, which is why people get charged $200-500 for taking in a PC/Laptop etc to a shop and turns out it's only a configuration issue. Like..honestly lol, browsing around it's pointing to something with Verizon currently, SE's servers may not be perfect but everyone would be unable to play no matter your ISP if it was purely on SE's end.

Verizon issues not confined to a specific area, but across the USA. All having different routing, except the destination > Ormuco.

[Maintenance] Notice of Network Maintenance (Dec. 26)
At the following time, network maintenance will be performed by the internet service provider for the North American/European data center.

Looks like an assumption by you to me.
