Lag in Instances + Endless "loading" screens when transitioning to a new area

[Saigi]

From all the reports I have seen, it's ONLY affecting 4-man instances, not 8-man ones.

I can confirm this is the case as well for me and my fiancee. We did T2 enrage several times and Ultima HM with no lag but Halatali and Brayflox HM versions had absolutely horrible lag.

But not one instance of lag in an 8-man instance.

Crystal Tower (24-Man Istance) is lag-free too

Okay.

Not ONLY is my issue from the last patch not fixed (1-10 second lag in the overworld, unbearable combat lag, only solved by WTFast or other VPN) without even a single acknowledgement of the problem from SE
But now not even my VPN is helping and I'm back to rubberbanding all over the goddamn dungeon, skills not going off, etc. It's horrible.

I've gone seriously a whole four months without even someone acknowledging the problem, let alone fixing it. Get your act together, SE, it's 2014.

Can confirm, much lag in instance servers, especially 4 man dungeons. Had to abandon a DM run due to the inability to dodge anything.

I agree with the OP, before 2.2 AV was unplayable but everything else I did was fine, since 2.2 pretty much all instances/guildhests are lag-fests.

Whatever SE fixed is now well broken.

Same happens on Ifrit for all the 4-man dungeons, trials and other 8-man dungeons + CT are not affected, not sure about normal Ifrit, Garuda and Titan though.

Yea had unplayable lag in Halatali hard, second boss was unwinnable due to not being able to use the orbs due to lag. I'd rather have a 30 minute reserving instance queue and be able to complete it once I got in instead of going in right away only to lose and abandon because of the lag.

can't get through my combos, healers can't get their casts off, happened to me in both pharos sirius and copperbell hard, couldn't get past first boss in both cases. people disappearing and reappearing moments later. forget about hallowed ground, normally to be jammed when in trouble, can't ever get it off.

idk about CT being lag free, all day Ive had zero problems, but second I try do Crystal Tower everything just freezes and eventually d/cs and I have never d/cd in this game unless it was server wide

outside running around town in Lominsa, even in the market area, Ive had zero issues, just in CT it lags like crazy for me that I can't even complete it

[Austratus]

I'll chime in for an instance on. I never really noticed any lag myself during a Halatali (Hard) run, but my two Gilgamesh party mates (one being the tank) were rubberbanding like crazy, and we couldn't really get past the second boss because of it.

i got 20 sec of lag in duty finder roulette too
