Unbearable server lag since yesterday

[Caesius]

This lag has been happening every night since at least Monday. It's bad enough that I often see everything freeze for more than 3 entire seconds. I don't know how we're supposed to enjoy the new content that's dropping on Tuesday when the connection to SE's servers is so poor.

More lag problem, going to log out for now since I can't do anything with so much lag

Lag is confirmed back tonight during prime time around 9pm eastern-12 midnight or so. This seems to really be bad in savage content. I've never had this lag before clearing savages, just started this week. Can the Moderators at least respond to this thread with some sort of information on how this is getting addressed or that it's at least being looked at?

Not sure if this is helpful... it may just be coincidence that we are mostly on comcast, after all it's one of the more popular internet providers for the US. Since people from Europe have encountered this it makes me think it's not a comcast thing.

Here's my pingplotter for tonight, while lag is currently occurring right now.

Here's a ping to google.com:

And here's a screenshot of pinging the FFXIV Ether server:

Seems like to me, it is something on SE's side from those images.

Whatever it is, I just downloaded ExpressVPN and that cleared it up instantly. So that's at least 2 VPNs that clear it up. Shame that outside of free trials there's no decent free unlimited VPNs with good gaming latency that I know of.

We have the same issue in europe server .
datacenter chaos .

Back to say it's still a problem. It's not as bad as two nights ago but still annoying.

It’s still a problem on Cerberus chaos DC and seems to go away late night.. All though I can get excellent connection while being on my vpn from Netherlands. Which isn’t a viable solution in the long term. Hope it get resolved soon
