I've been experiencing really bad latency on Omega for the past 2 weeks. Combat feels worse and worse due to the increased latency (eg: animations take 1 to 3 seconds to start playing, damage numbers and healthbars go down 1 to 3 seconds after the animation is done, sometimes combat actually freezes for up to 3 seconds but the worst thing for me are the AoE attacks. I keep getting hit despite moving out of the way seconds before the attack is executed. Sometimes I move away when there's 1/4th left on the casting bar and I'm a good distance away but I still get hit. I also get hit after using the DRG's backwards jump to get out of the way seconds before the attack is executed. It doesn't always happen but it's becoming more and more common nowadays.

Chocobo racing on the other hand is completely unplayable for me. Races freeze for 3 to 5 seconds every 3-4 seconds and it's really really frustrating.

My connection is rather decent (200/50 but 100/20 effective) and the latency I measured through the resource monitor for both ffxiv processes is almost always 50 to 55 seconds with very very rare spikes to 60 and a single spike to 70 when I was downloading something at fullspeed in the background. I've performed a speedtest to a server in Munich (I figured that's where the datacenter is since it has to be in a central location) and sure enough I get ~50ms of latency there.

In my experience with other games that require low latency (MOBAs, FPS, RTS) even 80-100ms don't produce these kinds of results.

Can anything be done about this ?
