Lack of SE Response to Lag

[Thunderz]

I dunno maybe the idea of having a single datacenter for All NA/EU customers might be the problem.... just saying

The US and EU should get their own datacenter and this could solve a lot of the ping problem and the severe congestion the game gets on prime time (which is maybe why we get mass 90k's?)

Games with far more people on singular datacenters/servers doesn't have this issue, yet they're also not on Level3 - So no that isn't the case.

Bump and +1

had it for 1 week now.. unacceptable.. paying for this service

funny story came from it though.. got a huge lag spike in titan extreme after the super bombs when he landed.. anyone familiar with the fight knows he does a landslide after.. i saw it was all frozen so i just moved a bit to a random place (during these lag spikes you still actually move to everyone else, this was confirmed by people on TS in the CT vassago fight, they actually directed me where to run to get out of the fire aoe when i couldnt see it)

and yea, the lag then went fast forward all the way to the next bomb phase and i had survived everything.. we went on to win lol

SE cant fix your bad connections or shoddy internet service. they also cant move you out of the boondocks

i play on ps3 in north america. lag rarely affects my gameplay. and since the 2.1 fixes i can safely say ive had no "lag" deaths

I have a great connection, I don't die to lag. I have had 90k errors for no reason *cough SE* cough* And its not just lag deaths people are complaining about. There are NUMEROUS connection issues of all kinds. And it is their fault.

Again WOW HAS THE SAME PLAYERS and none of the problems.

WoW has under 600k players? They go through Level3?

[MythToken]

Misquoted me, they do not have teh same AMOUNT, but rather, the same type. People who play WoW have the same "shoddy internet connections" that are apparently the cause of everyones connetion issues. Yet they do no effect WoW only FFxiv.

Apparently you guys do not get this concept.

I am going to launch WoW and FFxiv at the same time on my computer and dual box them on my double monitor.

Lets take bets on which one disconnects or has extreme lag, and which one doesn't.

Are you starting to understand my point?

Another company is running the same game, with millions more users, and doing it far better. Can SE please take some notes.

WoW also has way different mechanics that arent as heavily affected by twitch reflexes and dodging, so even if they did have the same problems they would be less noticeable or game breaking

youre comparing apples to oranges

I will just state what we all know to be the actual problem. They don't have the money.

They do not have the money to upgrade their server numbers or quality.

Or they are not willing to spend the money to do so.

Either way it is about money. (might have something to do with the failed initial launch, and some debt. hint hint.)
