This have been an issue for me for nearly a year now and it's reached a point I can't enjoy the game other than weekends when I'm not at work and even then, I still can't play it after the evening starts. Raids are impossible and Eureka isn't even worth going to with that kind of latency. And it's been getting worse. Bad enough I was getting 180ms hops. Now it's peaking around 240ms-300ms. It's outrageous. I've stopped playing after 7pm and have gone back to WoW. For the first time since I started playing FFXIV two years ago, I've considered cancelling my sub. While I'm getting 300ms latency on FFXIV, I get 50ms latency on WoW, at exactly the same time of night. I've swapped games to test. The issue is NTT and the California nodes. I get 50ms latency all the way from here to Texas and soon as the hops hit San Jose, the latency goes way up.
I feel the same way, they are giving me less and less reasons to log on with problem after problem - coming from someone that has been around since 1.0. There are some serious issues going on imo.
