Regarding Reports on Recent Connection Problems with the NA Data Center

[Kerwin]

I posted my damn info to many times before. Go look at the ones I already posted.

But once again I'll post it again cause this latency and lag is wiping my group because the servers are located in California with garbage nodes along it's path. YAY!

Same Chicago IL location. Same Comcast. Same time.

This has been going on for months and still no resolve.

I've basically given up playing in the evening at all. Which is a shame since that's when all my friends play. Probably not too far off just unsubbing entirely at this point. If the game is unplayable for literally 60% of my available time during the day, what's the point?

I start the game all good, then when I click to log in my character, it just disconnects. What's happening ?

after 3 days of smooth run, the 90002 error came back. just had 2 dc error 90002 in a single dungeon run, i guess this problem will haunt ff14 forever lol

Game was working good today and then teleported to new area to do my daily beast tribe quests just have game freeze up and have to force shutdown the game. Whole time this was happening chat worked just fine and saw other players running by me. They just need to force who ever there data center server is with to fix there garbage server stations. Problems is like how frontier internet was at my place there whole server stations had outdated computers.

i dont understand, opening port and turning off antivirus still get me 90002 error, considering 90002 mean connection problem in this game, doing those 2 should at least fix the problem to certain degree

i never see this kind of problem in any mmorpg, even maybe in all other online game that i ever played zzzz

my trace result, for some reason my pic never appear whenever i upload it.

I have done so many things to try and resolve my problems too. I've had maybe one good month in 2017 where my connection to this game was normal, perfect you could say. But after that patch...the patch I'll never forget lol. 4.06a, my connection problems started and it has never got better since. This was back in the beginning of September 2017. I'm surprised I'm still here and subscribed too because this is without a doubt the worst connection problems I've ever experienced online for any game. It's been so long now that I just don't ever expect it to be fixed, I forgot what it feels like to play without having lag and disconnects. Disconnect errors, rubber-banding; they're just apart of this game like anything else now.

Also, you can use [ I M G ] [ / I M G ], no spaces of course, to show us your pic. You'll have to go to that link and click your image and choose "Open image in new tab." and use that address instead.

I won't post my info again, but holy cow. We need you guys at SE to resolve this issues SOON.

If NTT won't fix the problem, I would suggest moving the servers again to somewhere more centralized. This is getting ridiculous.

You and I are in the same area it seems. We get hit HARD in Illinois. It's crazy.
