[Data Center USA] Ping increased. Report your changes here.

[silverlunarfox]

I find it funny those that don't have issues simply say, "It's your ISP, contact them" (Like they really care) "Move" (Yeah thats realistic) "I don't have an issue you're making it up" (That seems legit)

I have a whole two ISP's to choose from in one whole corner of a state. My ping went from about 20 to 60 since for whatever reason it likes me hopping around chicago before heading out to california. And some of those hops are REALLY bad.

I feel for the people that saw an even higher increase and there's not a damn thing they can do about it, so they give feedback and get jumped on right away. That's not the right way to go about it. Let them post their legitimate grievances and move on. Some people can't help how bad the situation has become for them.

Good luck out there folks. Maybe there's a fix on the way, maybe...

Mostly because the rest of the US that didn't live next to the old server has been dealing with way worse for a long time, and pecking this beast is humorous.

In all seriousness, people play this game with 200 ping or worse, and have been for years. Suddenly, some people are saying 100 is unplayable because someone in New York has to do it? Nah. That's not how it works, mate.

You merely adopted the lag. We were born in it. Molded by it.

The connection strength required to play the game hasn't changed with the server move. People close to the old server just got spoiled.

hehehehehe. I like this. But I am in the Midwest and was closer to the old server by a little bit. I think my ISP just had better routing than it does to CA, since apparently Chicago is a maze of WTF. But I've played other games with worse lag, and you just get used to it. Suddenly going up to 100 won't make the game unplayable by any means. I do enjoy the 0 packet loss though, I think that was the biggest issue.

60 is bad? LMAO. Okay then.

60 is bad? LMAO. Okay then.

This game was designed by japaneses for japaneses, below 50ms.
The difference between 60ms and 200ms is basically nothing, but 20 to 60ms does affect double weaving.
It's not bad, but you do notice it, at least I do.

[Fourbestintoner]

Europeans wouldn't shut up about lag during ARR and their ping was only 120-150, but now the game is optimized, intended for 220ms because Yoshi said so. What a joke. It's almost like this game feels like mud above 100ms.
I now have better ping on the new EU data center than on my own, thanks Yoshi.

To be fair its Square, I love the game but I don't have hope for a so called "Fix" anytime soon. They are most likely waiting for Stormblood so the people who are negatively affected by this will forget about it. If anyone is honestly hoping for a fix just think about things they "fixed" or are in the process of. I remember how some games I used to play had community voting on major updates/decisions. I really wish this game had votings and some transparency, We will most likely be fed a carrot on a stick to make us forget like usual. Anyway I am glad for players who had gotten better ping.

[Lexia]

Shut it down and fix it.

I highly doubt they going to move the servers again, so might as well move along.

I live on the east coast with pretty poor internet, and I honestly can't say I've noticed any loss of performance.

We've always gotten hit by AoEs after running out of them. We have a reputation for being one of the clunkiest MMOs after all. Anyone getting "She deep breaths more" vibes?

that's the thing, it's not about losing performance, it's having to readjust for the delay. If you play baseball and you are only use and know when to swing at 90MPH baseballs, it becomes second nature. But the moment they strat throwing 100, to 80, you continue to miss because you aren't use to that speed, you have to learn and readjust for the variables.

Ping is no different. Higher pin means you have to react sooner than you use to, move earlier than before, I personally tested it out to see if I would get hit by any of Titan's AOE and I did fine. So honestly, I'd say just use any boss with an AOE to test the difference in timing.
