Bad lag again with NTT's NA server network

[Kyeria]

I'm just going to keep putting this here every day this problem keeps existing.

I'm not getting affected by this, since I'm forced to use a VPN now. However, my raid members are getting hit with this issue. Trace Route again showing...


San Jose node is continuing to fail with NTT and in result will continue to have players believe this is a "DDoS issue" from malicious people.

In actuality, this is a server infrastructure issue that's failed to be addressed for over a year and continuing.

At this point some of us may not have a choice either. What VPN are you using and do you like it. This issue is getting insanely infuriating...

For me, I'm using ExitLag. They're running promotions for the past few months and it's been working relatively well. They do have good customer support.

Having issues for the second night in a row, around the same time (10PM EST). Still having issues as of 11:30PM EST, gave up trying to play for the night.

I can't do any real content. Everything desyncs, and then I disconnect.

Yeah today was absolutely horrible for me. Constantly knocked out of lobby with 2002 or 96002 after clicking things and it takes forever to do anything. I hope they fix this soon - making the game very unplayable.

Having issues as well, I have ATT Fiber and was fine until the maintenance and now my ping has increased by 400%, non-stop lag spikes, rubber-banding, and disconnects. Today was especially bad.

Really bad right now too. I have Cox cable internet. Cutting the trace down to where it starts to be problematic, the first timeout:

Been happening to me for the last two nights, usually when the later part of the evening sets in. The ping just jumps up to almost 200, and other players start sliding around like chess pieces on a tilting tray. Tonight there was a really fun thing that I wanted to go to, but it was in Empyreum, and I can't unlock it with the character I wanted to bring because there's no way I can do that specific trial with 150-200 ping. Just no way. I really hope they get this fixed soon. People are paying money to be able to play, and this amount of lag renders the game nigh-unplayable. Even a VPN isn't helping.

Second day running - I've had nothing but LAG and kicked to lobby or game crash. Ran multiple M1-M4 instances on Saturday with no issues, but the last two days clearly have been DDoS or network issues on Square Enix side since nothing on my PC has changed.

Hey servers at at it again! Can we get compensated for the hours we cant play?
