Lag is still a problem

[Cupcakehyperion]

Network Maintenace did not solve the problems caused by the December 26 Network Maintenance. This game is unplayable if half my group freezes every 20 seconds in Twintania and Titan EX and cause a wipe every time someone lags. Please just revert things to how they were before Christmas. Worst Christmas gift ever. Twintania Extreme and Titan EXtremely Extreme. Gotta predict Twisters before they happen and landslides before they even appear. If people keep stopping and then jumping forward in time, it's packet loss, right? Fix your packet things, SE.

Yes, the servers were only good after maintenance when noone was on them. But as for right now while doing Titan Extreme, the game still screen freezes as usual. Why is Square Enix being so cheap and unwilling to fix the server issues?

Been doing Garuda EX and after her 1st jump sometimes she disappears and I can't see her..... They need to fix this and other places.

Walk out of a landslide at as fast of a rate as I always do, get knocked off anyways, and this is me knowing the landslide is coming. Right when it spawns I start moving, get hit about 20% of the time, but that 20% accounts for the whole fight, I might get knocked out in 2nd phase, or when titans at 30% health, either way it makes me want to quit playing this game.

Apparently it's not only Verizon FIOS people, either. Whatever they tried to "fix" with the recent maintenance made it worse for everyone. Just go back to Dec 25 network! You didn't help anything with these maints!

Oddly enough 90k error hit me 5 times today. No lag in between or anything.

Do u have a wireed connectio? Its a lot better than wireless

Don't know if you meant me or OP since it's right under my post but yea it's wired.

I'm fine with my wired comcast connection till it hits the server farm in Montreal. Once it gets there all hell breaks loose. But the ping to and from there is 40ms with 0 packet loss. Still rubberband in instances. I'm not sure its not something else like corruption on the servers themselves. They do use shared architecture... (hard drives, memory, cpu) all in the same rack or blade. Something to think about. Not something we can fix unfortunately.

I have Comcast ISP and live in south Florida and I get lag spikes and unresponsive moments far to often. I play on a high end I-BuyPower PC also. Makes me sad as only reason I bought a PC was to play this game on max settings and the lag is so frustrating.

The lag issues seem to be weirdly random, and may not always have to do with a particular ISP. I play on the same network as another person who is also playing FFXIV on the same server, usually in the SAME instances together. Sometimes, I have no lag but he has huge lag spikes. Other times, I have a bunch of lag spikes but he has no issue. (We are using a new router and modem, and experience no issues in any other game we play... so FFXIV is definitely the cause, or catalyst.) And then there is the occasional 90k with 'no warning' whatsoever... extremely frustrating. The day after 2.1 was released, people kept getting DCed from my Garuda (extreme) party left and right. The running joke was that Garuda's hardest hitting move was her ability to DC people...
