Latency/Packet Loss Issues [Chaos Datacenter]

[Riardon]

Too many disconnects. In Frontlines half the population got instant DC out of the servers. Trying to log in back got me another 3 DCs straight away.
The disconnects and lag spikes never improved. The only time I saw such a horrible networking with XIV was back when 2.0 launched.

Hello everyone.

Thank you for bringing your latency and disconnection issues with the EU Data Center to our attention and for the continued reports on the matter. These reports have been invaluable in our investigation. We do apologize for the recent lack of updates as we work to research the root of the problem. We can gladly confirm that there is no issue with the Data Center itself, however, we will continue our research in hopes that we may find a solution so that everyone may enjoy the game.

It seems that, at least for some of you, the situation has improved and the latency/disconnections have been placated. We would like to know if this is still true or if you have been experiencing the same symptoms without this lapse. Any additional information you can provide will be beneficial in helping us solve the problem.

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.

I'm so sorry for you, but this is starting to be deplorable. I'm sick of this issue that has been on going since ... ¡YES! ¡6 DAMN MONTHS! At this rate we will be able to celebrate its birthday Seriously, I would like to know why 5 people from different EU countries with different ISP shout at the same time "LAG SPIKE!".

"It really feels like they don’t give a shit about EU Region players at times. The issues Chaos as been having for ages along with those stupid in game item summer events. :x "

"If it was only on one person, but my statics raid nights on tuesdays usually end up with everyone shouting "lag spike" mutliple times in one pull and we're all from different corners of Europe. This has been going on for quite some time now."

"If the wording was, "we are still working at trying to figure it out" it would be understandable, issues can be hard to find. But in this case they specifically stated that there were no issues with their DC, essentially refusing to acknowledge that this specific issue which affects a large portion of the EU playerbase is on their side."

Been experiencing disconnections since yesterday :x very frequent ones. It seems like I'm not the only one since I disconnected at the exact same time as others in the same dungeon (friend in pt is on voice call with me and tells me this happens). I hope the issue is resolved soon >_<.

Tonight has been one of the worst instances of this lag ever. O7S is swiftly becoming unplayable because of the lag affecting the missiles and beams. It feels like 1/10 of my casts gets interrupted for no good reason. You mentioned that you have confirmed there are no issues with the data centre, does this mean that you are winding down your investigation into the issues?

Unfortunately, all we have to do is to be patiente cuz only SE can solve this since the problem is not our connections.

Once I love this game, Ill just wait, soon or not they will take wake up to this problem and see that is something with their servers.
