Aurum Vale LAG

[EUdoomtrain]

And only Aurum Vale zero lag in the world, Titan HM, King Moogle, CT? fine all fine and OK but once try connecting to Aurum Vale its like you crossed lag hell line. The lag there is so bad that the first Boos is unbeatable I have no idea what happen but for the last 2 days its like that.

SE opened an investigation Wednesday for particular issues affecting instanced servers--notice is in Lodestone and Status sections if you missed it (March 5th posts). Your problems could tie into what they are working on. Might want to follow their instructions for reporting the issue in the appropriate channels, as this is for user-to-user support and not for contacting SE with technical issues.

Thank for the info but the first link get me to a page with "The page you are searching for has either been removed, or the designated URL address is incorrect."
And Second is "Page Not Found"

Edit: ok I found The info on lodestone and this is not a lag when prime time on instance servers(that is what they are talking about in the post). This lag is 24h and only in this instance I have no problem with any other one. I just did a test run on 4 in the morning EU time on Odin EU and its still there.

don't know what happened with the pasting... links were truncated somehow, should work now.

"Prime Time" is a little broader than some people may realize in this game. 4AM in London is actually right in primetime for much of North America--where the servers are located. Same thing can apply to JP servers. The congestion windows can move around--it's an issue triggered when traffic increases, whether that comes from EU or US players being active on the Canadian servers, or players in any other region hammering the JP servers. It just takes a lot of people getting concentrated into a narrow corridor of transit lines to impact routing, or a bunch of people hitting the same instance servers to impact things at the server level.

The point is, SE is acknowledging an issue with the stability of the instance servers when under load and are investigating it now, and they want us to report our issues in the proper support channels, which is not here.

As noted in the guidelines in the first link in my post... this forum is not the place to be addressing SE for support. This forum is for users to assist users with a problem. If you want to address a technical problem with the servers/game that only SE can address... need to go through the appropriate support channel(s).

I've had same problem with Aurum Vale while trying to help FC mate there. Experienced it first time on Thursday 6.3. probably around 17.00 UK time if I recall correctly and thought it would be just some random hiccup with the servers but experienced it again on Saturday 8.3. around 12.15 UK time and I did WP without any problems immediately after abandoning AV. I checked my ping from resource manager and seemed to be normal.

Just finished a AV run, lots of lag experienced by 3/4 of the people in there.
