SICK OF THE LAG FEST

[Raist]

The 42k and 73k time figures are the total time for all the pings to complete (25 pings took just under 43 seconds (42785ms), and then 74 pings took just over 73 seconds (73105ms) to complete).

What should raise concern is the high jitter and packet loss. While the response times were tighter on the pings to SE, they had high packet loss. Even though the google pings showed no packet loss, there is too wide a variance in the response times (16ms to 26ms - a bit too much jitter).

But yeah.. there is definitely something going on along the routes that warrants a closer look.

Okay I can understand that. Mine saying "average time" I think threw me off because i missed in his post something saying "average"

I have a lot of lag over at Famfrit too these past few days. It's almost unbearable as a healer.

I posted the following in another topic, though might as well add it here as I can see this is an ongoing issue:

I'd like to add my voice to this group. I've only been experiencing these spikes in the last day, however.

Detailed explanation:
The lag appears to be clearly connection related, rather than a matter of internet or simple speed. The actions and spells happening in game will simply stop and then a second or two later "catch up" at a rapid pace. At this exact moment, my "received" column in the connection mouse-over will drop to 0, and then rush up to several thousand as the dungeon catches up with itself. This will happen through the instance at anything from 10 second intervals to up to 2 minutes, but it is consistent. This morning, I experienced it doing Ifrit as part of my duty daily. I reset my internet, assuming it was on my end. Everything outside of the dungeon was fine before entering the duty, and also after, though I chose to reset all the same. Everything I did from that point outside of the duty finder was also fine, including a single PvP daily I did through the duty finder. As soon as I went to do today's daily however (the dailies reset afternoon EU, keep in mind) the spikes were back and made the dungeon fairly difficult. As soon as I left the dungeon, everything was back to normal and lag free.

I am playing on Gilgamesh, but am connecting from the EU. I would very much like to try some level 50 dungeons, though simply cannot afford to have the game stop processing for a second or two in any of them. Hopefully this information will help you address the problem.

I'm having pretty much the same issue as the others reported here. It all seemed to start at some point yesterday when the game would freeze for between 5-10 seconds every minute and then rapidly catch up. Made playing WOD pretty unplayable.

I tried again this morning and it was still pretty bad and I noticed a lot of players disconnecting or just dying instantly as a result. Seems like some emergency maintenance is in order on Odin Server (connecting from UK BTW).

I think SE really need to do some maintenace, since last update the lag spikes are getting to the stage of making the game unplayable. Fates farming usually ends up with a freeze in the play followed by health bar decimation, and dungeons are frankly ridiculous to suffer. Its not my internet, these issues appeared for me after last update and have steadily worsened.

[Tigeriss]

Same here... mine is to the point now that if I join any FATEs or try a raid or extreme run I freeze up and eventually dc or instant die due to lag spike jump killing me and titan knocking me out of the ring. I play on the PS3 and connect from the Northwest end of the U.S. if that means anything which shouldn't. :/

[Dhanauranji]

I am also suffering from the same problems. I can't play in any kind of role without having everything slow down, stop and then resume actions in waves. It's beyond unplayable at this point and it has been like that ever since yesterday. :S

What could possibly be wrong?

[VraeliaValkyria]

I too, am having a lot of lag. My heals are severely delayed. My attacks are delayed. I keep getting 10105 and 90,000 errors. 'Connection to the server was lost' And getting 'Something unexpected has occurred' and forces me out of the game. It's entirely ridiculous. I try and try to play and ignore all this. But, I can't anymore. This needs to be fixed. ASAP. I can't play to enjoy this game as it stands. I play it to endure it now. Which shouldn't happen to any player.

Also more information of how this sucks....I try to do my roulettes...and when I get kicked off hte server, I lose my daily rewards (poetics, soldiery) so yeah....this whole thing fcking sucks! lol
