Bad lag again with NTT's NA server network

[Hastatus]

Over the past few days NTT has been making it impossible for me to play.
Sunday: I was being routed through France from NA.

12 34 ms 34 ms 35 ms ae-11.r24.asbnva02.us.bb.gin.ntt.net [129.250.2.138]
13 * 107 ms 106 ms ae-13.r21.parsfr04.fr.bb.gin.ntt.net [129.250.6.5]
14 * * *

Last Night I was booted and couldn't get back into server.

And now this morning it's fine one minute and impossible the next:

15 32 ms 32 ms 31 ms ae-0.r24.asbnva02.us.bb.gin.ntt.net [129.250.3.243]
16 166 ms 163 ms * ae-2.r24.snjsca04.us.bb.gin.ntt.net [129.250.6.237]
17 166 ms 168 ms 167 ms ae-4.a00.scrmca03.us.bb.gin.ntt.net [129.250.7.57]

It's been three days. When I have issues with FFXIV it is always an NTT node.

My game has been fine for the last month but two nights ago around 10 PM EST I get massive packet loss and disconnects.

I'll go to accept a quest, and it takes like 5 seconds for it to complete the action.

Other players sliding around etc.

It clears up after like an hour but it's really annoying as I get home from work at 10PM. Unlucky me.

Day 3 of late night issues. 1:15AM EST start time.

1:25 AM EST issues came back.

Played from 10PM EST to 1:00AM EST without issue.



EDIT: Also getting Error 2002 now and can't even connect to the lobby server. I guess i'll take a break.

Same as above, issues the last 3 nights, just went in to help a M1s party try to clear and game is unplayable, might cancel the sub if this keeps up there's no way to dodge or keep up with anything when the game is like this. Twitch, youtube, discord, etc. everything else is totally fine, only FF having issues. Clueless on what to do about it.

Hear hear.
NY Spectrum here. The past couple days had small spurts of lag. Annoying but not really game affecting.

Today, forget it. Dropped and can't get back in. Using Cloudflare WARP like suggested on this forum and the problem's gone but rather not have to rely on a "VPN" to be able to play decently.

Yeah. I've been having problems the last couple of nights too. Last night I got home from work and tried to do a Frontline and got DC'd while trying to load into it, then lagged off and on throughout it when I got back in. Tonight, I logged in and was able to do a dungeon just fine, but after taking a bit of a break I tried to do another, and found that I was lagging so hard that it took a good few seconds to switch back to the Job that I've been leveling. And doing the second dungeon... Yeah. I didn't even make it to the first boss before I decided that it just wasn't going to happen and dropped out (don't worry, it was a Trust so no penalty and no one was left waiting for a replacement).

This is honestly getting a bit frustrating. My connection before leaving for work was just fine so I might just go back to playing other games when I get home from work and only play FFXIV in the morning if this doesn't clear up soon.

I am curious if I am being routed through a different node and seem to be avoiding this hateful NTT node in San Jose? Florida Spectrum here. Playing on PS5. Dynamis/Seraph. I've experience some slow down and lag here and there this past week. But nothing to the degree folks are experiencing here.

Greetings,

We are aware that some players have been experiencing network-related issues (such as a few seconds of network loss, lag, or disconnects) over the past few days when playing on the North American data centers.

To help us with our efforts in contacting carriers we have relationships with, we would greatly appreciate it if you could submit traceroute data gathered during the instances that these network issues occur.

Please report through the "Providing information on packet loss and lag" section at the bottom of this support form. Instructions on how to obtain your traceroute information can be found in this Lodestone announcement.

Additionally, as mentioned in the announcement, even if we are unable to request investigations from some of the ISPs from our end, the situation may be improved if players can contact their internet service provider and share their details and issues directly with them.

We appreciate your cooperation as we continue striving to address network-related issues that players may be experiencing.

Been having similar issues for the last few days as well. I haven't had any connection issues prior to this aside from when the servers have been DDOSed and gameplay is usually smooth as butter. Currently however, players and NPCs are sliding around, rubber banding, actions - even bringing up retainers - taking a while to register, enemy attacks and AoEs happen all at once as the game tries to catch up, a few disconnects, etc. The game is basically unplayable in any real capacity for me currently.

My connection is rock solid with everything aside from FFXIV. Running the Windows version and in Massachusetts using Xfinity.
