Seems like no one cares about the lag

[Lautrec]

Lag was the worse it has ever been last night. Good number of times where I was "standing still" with my entire raid team for 15 seconds at a time. I'm seriously considering unsubbing at this point because savage content is the only thing I enjoy and I can't even do that anymore.

Issues always start around 9:00 CST which naturally is our raid time.

This weekend it has just become unplayable for me at random, it has completely ruined my experience in the second Savage fight.
First went fine, but then this weekend when I was planning on clearing the second one I've had a ton of problems.
Just now I again had it and had to leave a group that had clearing potential because it just suddenly decided it didn't want me to play anymore it's infuriating I feel like I've wasted almost 24 hours in total due to lag on this fight.

I am really struggling to find the commonality between us as a subset of the player base. When I talk about these issues within my static or FC (within the same datacenter), only roughly 20% of people have any idea what I am talking about.

Looking back through this thread, there doesn't seem to be anything to key on. ISPs are different, servers are different, datacenters are different, geographical location is different.

From what I know about large scale networks (admittedly not a ton from the network layer), I can only assume that whether or not you get connected to the problematic node is random based on their GLB config. This could explain why not everyone connecting to the destination host would experience it.

This really is infuriating and sucks every conceivable bit of fun out of the game. Their lack of monitoring, resolution, and communication is embarrassing and SE should be ashamed.

I too was having major lag both Sunday night and last night (Monday). Happens around 10 pm-1 am and when I traced, it was a node in San Jose that was having 100% packet loss.

I tried Mudfish’s vpn free trial and that seemed to help me overall. Wasn’t 100% perfect, still a brief freeze up here/there but it was manageable (vs not being able to play at all). I had it set to auto because I don’t know a ton about technology, but it looked like it was routing me around the problem node.

Well, I can be *slightly* hopeful. But tonight was actually a normal night. Nothing of the usual spikes, but I hope it can maintain at least this week... and hopefully the following after.

I am in Sweden so I don't think I should be going through that node?

I dunno what it is but it has made me quit the game for periods of time multiple times, it just comes back all of the sudden and makes the game totally unplayable until I essentially ragequit and unsub.
No other issues in other games and when it works in FFXIV it works fine everything is very responsive.
But then the game just out of nowhere decides that it doesn't want me to play anymore...

I'm having a similar issue with EU servers I tried connecting to different servers but they all go the same route which I believe has a faulty node, I would really appreciate it if someone can pass it to technical support.

Same actually. Monday night was practically flawless. Last time it happened I assumed they had resolved the issue but the problem resumed full force the following night.

Knock on wood.

I'm having roughly the same experience. Mudfish makes things good enough. Nothing changed on my end and I've been harrassing my ISP about this, and they say they can't find a problem. So... I guess I'm stuck paying for mudfish for the foreseeable future unless Square figures out what is going on with their networking.

I live in Missouri, in the St Louis region and my ISP is Charter Spectrum. I don't know if that helps.

reset day, lets see if we can finally play the game tonight
