Bad ping/latency/lag problems

[Amiral_Benson]

What Suburp Asura forgot to tell you is that when we speak in TS, we can measure a lag of 3 sec in the game. For example, I tell him I will move my character, I do a countdown, and I told him exactly when I move it. He will see my character moving after 3 seconds !!!

Our TS3 server is really real time, only 30 ms, and I can do the exact same test on the phone, the fact is in Europe, even with my Optical Fiber 100 Mb/s Internet connexion, it is impossible to play seriously because of that latency.

Like Suburp Asura said, all attacks that can be prevented, are almost impossible to avoid in Europe, every strategy based on timing failed most of the time...

During the Alpha Test, we asked for international continental servers to avoid latency problems, yes we really love to play with the US and Japanese players, but if I had to choose between that and no latency, I will choose no latency and a group of servers based in Europe, this will still be international, and I will still always met players from other countries, because there are plenty of European countries who play FFXIV.

I really think that the dev and Yoshi-P should seriously try to play from Europe to realize this huge and critical problem.
