The JP button

[tymora]

Another poster on these boards made a very good observation last week, saying that if there is no local server set up for players outside japan, this game will never really succeed no matter how good 2.0 is outside of japan. Those tenths of a second crush a game.

For the most part, it doesn't really matter out of PvP. PvE is quite forgiving.

I've been in japan for the last 6 months now.. I really haven't noticed any less lag playing here than when I was in America. I'm pretty sad there's still lag.

I don't understand this, im to tired atm to re read everything, cause im lazy, but if your in japan right now and u get the same amount of lag as when your in america than the problem isn't latency right?

*gasps* i just got my CCNA at school, employee referel? yes please? XD j/k

If you truly are a CCNA, you shouldn't even need a referral.. jobs come at you.. I'm a Securities/Networking CCNA myself.

On topic though, its interesting hearing of players in Japan experiencing the same issue. If you could post more details that would be great, prreferably your connection type/speed, your ping in ms form, etc

Just seems like bunch of good players, i know because they don't wear full AF unlike...... *cough*

i live in japan and
we have the same problems with lag here
tough it might depend on how straight your ISP is connecting to the servers
or its a router setting problem but i would like to hear about such concrete stuff from
actual network specialists...

my japanese ISP seems to be crap (JCOM)
my NA friends usually know whats in the loot 2sec before it appears in mine...

Played on both JP and EN client for both FFXI and FFXIV. Also have logged onto FFXI from New York, Maryland, California, Taiwan, and Japan. Sorry JP Button doesn't exist. Have logged onto FFXIV from California and Taiwan so far, only things that make a difference on your side are your general internet connection and computer spec. I've also heard my fair share of JP friends complaining about the the game lags when they play in Japan, they pretty much complain about it every night

I am not saying that SE doesn't have anything to improve on when it comes to server/game speed/stability, but this whole "JP button" is just lol.

As far as FFXIV goes, post merge during prime time in Japan, all things go to hell. I've run through the entire first floor of Aurum before the mobs start to spawn or finding the warp portals aren't up when we get there. Also spent upwards to 5 minutes at the loading screen into and out of Aurum. My JP friends joke and say the outside of Ul'dah looks like a refugee camp during prime time, because... well... it does.

Basically. I was exping a few days ago and I'd try to use a skill on a mob and I'd get "You can't use that on a KOed enemy" or whatever. Even though the mob was still alive for me. Or the game telling me I can't cast a spell while I'm moving but I already stopped moving.

What a racist thread...

I've yet to see anyone mine faster than me when I'm not lazy, JP or otherwise.

I can mine as fast as possible and still not beat NA and JP players and the waiting between bites on fishing is just a joke in the EU.

SE should have made Ragnarok regional !!

For those that play from Japan:-

As I have said 100 times, you are confusing server latency with network latency, regardless of the amount of lag you get in Japan you can bet people in the US and EU are having the same lag + network latency to deal with.
