[Dev response requested] Unplayable lag since the hotfixes

[DSanchez]

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.

You are correct. The problem lies with SE's upstream provider for their datacenter, not the user-end.

Two others in my FC with Verizon FIOS are also having these freezes. It does seem ISP-based, but Verizon says that everything is fine on their end. I just reset my router twice. Nothing has changed. People keep stopping and teleporting. I imagine since SE added more servers and junk in the hotfix, maybe they did something that doesn't work with FiOS.

The last maintenance was entirely Network based:

Nothing wrong with your ISP, it's the servers.

Edit: sorry! Apparently I've also had super unplayable lags!! my bad forgive me ffxiv forum peeps.

I've not had unplayable lag issues as yet but I have had an instance in CT where the game would "freeze" where it looked like I was about to dc but my send would be at about 15 while my receive was at about 6000+ then after 3 or 4 min it would play out the whole fight in fast forward and I'd be able to play again without issue until the next boss fight when it would happen again. Had no issues in other dungeons, and there were no other drains on the home network other than ffxiv.

Further more I've notice since the update there is a delay when opening and deleting mog mail. Before the patch I'd be able to open a mail take the items and then delete said mail in a series of quick one after the other actions. Now 100% of the time it gives me a still retrieving mail error when I try to delete the letter after taking the items. And I now have to count to four to be able to delete the mail successfully.

There has been noticble response delays in certain tasks since the data centre implementation.

This is the exact same issue I'm getting in WP since the patch, its always at the same locations every time. I have no idea what this Verzion thing is (I dont think I have it anyway) but if its a provider, mine is optus

WP was my favored method of capping myth and as a tank who has yet to get full DL gear I'd really like to see this fixed as I can no longer run WP due to this. No one wants a tank that "stops" right after a pull. I for one refuse to put other players through that.

Note: I should point out I have run a few lower level dungeons since the patch and all seem ok, I've yet to run AK since patch though. I also see no similar symptoms outside of the dungeon.

[EDIT]: Just ran AK a few moments ago, it was horrible, no way in hell I could have been the tank for it. But never have I seen a worse case of freeze-and-fast-forwards kind of lag before. I thought WTFast would fix all these kinds of issues and before the hotfix, it did. To makes things clear, this latest hotfix has made end game (or late game) dungeons and primals out of the question for me.

That means no Phil gear, no Myth gear, no relics and no hope in hell of ever seeing extreme primals.

Please fix this SE, I would love to keep playing

Verizon Fios here and huge lag spikes during titan/coils.

When are people going to realize that putting "requesting dev" anything in the title automatically flags it to not be read by devs?

I have time Warner and I too have had some bad lag. I was running wp tonight and every single time I got targeted by the 2nd boss I died. At a full sprint with both my wards up, I'm. A blm full dl and CT pants. Never died before three times in a row like that even the people I party with was like wtf

[Renly]

Same for me and I also have Verizon Fios. Posted on a different thread about this earlier. Hope they fix it soon..

That's the very definition of an unplayable lag issue, and it's consistant with what everyone else has been seeing. Somehow I managed to eek out Ultima and CT wins last night amongst the regular rubber banding.

It seems to be even worse after the hotifx yesterday. It's not only happening for me in dungeons, DoH and DoL are both having very noticeable delays in actions.
