Post 2.1 Lag spike (Still not resolved)

I'm quite close to posting this thread / making a new one with this topic on other sections seeing as we're outright being ignored here. I mean come on. Game breaking < Quality of life stuffs?

I have to say, I am VERY disappointed at this point. I had played in the original beta pre-shutdown, even purchased the CE edition in hopes they would have used some of our feed back from beta. Turns out that none of the feed back was given any consideration and the game was in such a bad place they had to shut down and reboot.

So here I am, giving it yet another chance and look where we are now. After enjoying the game my first month back I get this nonsense. I can not run ANY dungeons (enjoyably) without a 3rd party VPN. I am stuck using a service like WTFAST to have a playable game. That's worked great for 2 weeks, but now I'm even getting silly rubberband lag with WTFAST as well unless I use a server outside of the northeast.

At this rate given the lack of communication concerning this wide spread issue I will be forced to quit this game AGAIN. Not because I want to, but because I CAN NOT PLAY IT.

Shame on me SE, I let you fool me twice now.

Still lagging, Right now is impossible to stay logged in. Disconnection in the same moment i log in. Is IMPOSSIBLE play this Game in raid hour. I cannot pay a subcription to play only early in the morning. -.- 1 week more then i quit this game

seems like se either dont just care about a few ppl sad to see this since one of the things that i liked in this game was that the team was always open in communication

I've noticed yesterday evenning a most curious fact:

I've two chars on the same world: Moogle. One is my main, one is a 10 level archer.
They were both in the same zone (New Gridania) -> same server
I logged with the main one and got disconnected with error 90k in few seconds. This many times in a row.
Than I logged with the Archer (after few seconds from the previous disconnection) : everything was perfect and didn't notice even a lag spike.
After this try, I tried to connect with my main and everything worked well.
I cannot think that the congestion got away in that moment (it was about 10pm), so why?

I too am sick of the lag spikes and they have become much worse as of late. I love this game and want to keep playing but not if the connection remains this bad. I have done everything I can do on my end ie: updated my PC's TcpAck frequency and called my ISP and made sure all settings on my network card are as they should be. Nothing more I can do on my end so now I need SE to step up and fix the problem so I can again enjoy this game. I don't care if they have to drop the servers for a week to totally redo the entire infrastructure. I doubt anyone would care if it meant ZERO lag after.

They really need to do something soon. This is only going to get worse as more people subscribe. With the PS4 test jus around the corner and who know how many new subs that will bring when it launches this is only going to further congest the routes to the servers and lead to worse lag spikes wit worse rubber banding and packet loss. They need to nip this in the butt sooner rather than later or their will just be more angry people.

I'm glad to see this post. The first 45-60 days of my time here I had no issues. The last couple weeks I've had a sudden wave of spikes of lag. It's where I can't be a healer in dungeons now. 4-5 seconds go by and I find people are dead. I had to use my Bard now as they are to handle the 4-5 second lag spikes in a dungeon and not cause a wipe.

It's also not just dungeons. It's gathering, crafting, etc. Lag spikes in the evenings. If I play in the mornings(EST), then I have no issues. Or less spikes I should say. I still get 1-2 second delays.

I have played since closed beta with pretty few issues, considering.

All of that being said, trying to play this game for the past 48 hours has been a ridiculous exercise in frustration. I get 90000 errors just about every hour, and rubber banding / nothing animating about every 10-15 minutes.

At first I thought I was only having issues in instances, but it is everywhere. As it stands, it is unplayable for me.

Ah, for what it is worth my ISP is Cox and the server is Sargatanas.

I've had lag spike issue since patch 2.15. The issue seems to be worse during the evenings (after 6pm GMT). It makes content like Coil turn 5 and Titan Extreme (basically all content that matters at this point) completely unplayable for me.
