"I Was Out of That!" (Some Life Lessons)

[Edenholt]

I can speak from my own experience. I have this game on both my ps4 and pc and I can affirm that unless I'm using a VPN service, I better get ready for freezes and lags. On both PC and ps4. I can play the entire day, but by night it's almost impossible to play on my ps4, I have to change to pc and activate battleping. Mind you, this is the only game I ever needed a vpn service. Actually, I never even knew about VPN services until I started playing ffxiv. So, while many people will use lag as an excuse, please bear in mind that latency in this game is a serious problem and if you check the technical support section we have a 200 pages thread with people reporting on this issue. And it worse for us, EU players, since our servers are located in Canada. We really do hope someday SE will move EU servers to an EU country, since they boast having over 4mil players I'm quite sure they could afford that.

I believe they actually have said they are working on it. I don't remember for when, though.

I don't know what the exact delay is like (for me) right now, but it's definately not as little as 0.1~
I didnt watch castbars much myself, as a healer. The delay is very noticable, both when moving out of aoes and when casting. It's possible to clip heals in a way I've never seen possible anywhere else, unless I had massive ping.


I'll have to try that. Would be kind of weird if graphics could effect it, but who knows.

The way the in built delay works is thats basically on top of your actual lag, not the entirety of it. So for example if its 0.1 seconds of delay between server pings, and your ms to server was 200, you'd get 0.3 seconds of delay, and on old one at 0.333 you'd have over half a sec delay.
