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

"logically" South America should see an improvement on Ping rates.. sadly my best friend in Peru went from 180 to 220-250+

I think SE should consider adding a server in south America because there is enough fan base there to cover the cost.

Only the northwest coast of South america should see a slight improvement. Im pretty sure Brazil is their biggest market in SA and everyone got fucked here. My ping went from 100 to 220 =.= a friend from argentina went from 150 to 250. Its very well known arround here that the route from most SA to the west coast is completely garbage.

Dumb decision not bringing it near Dallas or Chicago...or somewhere near the middle.

Ninja is simply unplayable at 120-160ms, it so irresponsible I'll need to say goodbye to it.
200ms-220ms being fine, maybe if you are an ex roulette paladin hero, yoshi.
At least the commiefornians are happy.

I see you're taking this harder than most.

High latency Ninja is so unpleasant to play, if that were my main I'd be absolutely livid.

Oh I don't think you read her post. There's a way to go about expressing disdain, then there's calling everyone in California a commie. Lol.

Politics has a time and a place, and although the FFXIV forums aren't one of them, they're not entirely off base.

Almost anything melee is unpleasant to play with latency, especially with positional requirements. I was orig on Gilga as an EU player, played DRK moved to Odin and was blown away by how smooth using OGCD abilities was.

You might take shit for this but it's true.

What I think a lot of people here don't understand is that because of how low the ticrate is in this game, a small latency increase can actually result in things getting delayed by several hundred milliseconds. Imagine you have a bus stop and a bus closes its doors and departs exactly every 10 minutes. If you miss the bus by 1 minute, you're not just 1 minute late to your destination, you're 10 minutes late because you won't be departing until the next bus leaves. Every bit of latency you add shrinks the window for getting on the bus in time, until at a certain threshold you are frequently or even always missing the bus.

I've been playing with 110-120 ms since 2.0 release. I'm also a NIN main. It's not that bad, just gotta get used to it and adjust accordingly. On a side note, I agree with you on the "commiefornia" bit ;[
