Bad lag again with NTT's NA server network

[n_n]

Yeah this is my general feeling on it. I won't touch a free VPN, and I'm certainly not going to pay for one on top of what I already pay (and should thus already have access to said paid for things!), I will unsub and leave the game if they can't--or won't--get it fixed.

I learned my lesson a long time ago with free VPNs; I used one for a game that had awful routing issues pop up after a 2 week long DDOS attack on its servers stopped and I ended up getting perma banned because I was given a dirty IP. Never again am I touching such garbage, especially on a game with rampant RMT.

AT&T fiber customer. It's real bad. 30-60% packet loss at NTT's nodes. Played a little bit really early this morning after the servers came back on and it actually was fine, but as soon as a bunch of people started logging on, that was it. Back to the the rubberbanding and 1k-4k ping.

I tried both a VPN and tried Cloudflare warp and neither worked for me, so YMMV.

The only thing that has worked was tethering to my phone, which doesn't use AT&T but that's not a longterm solution when 6.4 drops.

***EDIT***

I'm an idiot. I tried messing with my VPN on my Macbook, and the game worked perfectly. Trying to figure out why, I finally realized Macs generally don't support split tunneling. Went back to my PC and saw I had split tunneling turned on. A setting I flipped on as a fix to a VPN issue with games last year. I'm still not sure why Cloudflare's warp didn't work, but I'm not gonna bother troubleshooting since the VPN is fine.

tl;dr: I'm an idiot, VPNs work.

They've got 2 days to release SOMETHING else about it before my sub's cancelled. I'm so irate this is still a thing we have such little useful communication about. I appreciate all you figuring this stuff out though, salt of the earth <3

Thanks for the compliment, Owlcall.

Between my in-game house and my sub not expiring for quite a while, I'm in it for the long haul.

But, I won't fault anyone that does unsub, that's your call.

We'll be here for the foreseeable future.

5th day for me with basically uplayable PvP because of lag issues. This is NOT an isolated issue for just a few players. This morning (Friday) there was a post on the forums that said the issue was fixed. It is not. All NA DC's show Poor connection

I'm sad that this is taking so long to resolve. At the very least, I would feel a lot better if they were communicative with us about the holdup. An ETA of ANY kind would be appreciated at this point.

I wonder... Maybe this falls under an acceptable request for Freedom of Information Act? I'll have to research.

FOIA requests are for Government documentation, so unless glowies are involved I wouldn't count on it. Though with how intrusive the NSA and other three letter agencies are, you never know.

Yeah same. My monthly sub *just* renewed. I have time to see if this clears up. And if not then it will mean it's gone on for close to a month without being able to play basically anything for all but maybe an hour of playtime before bed. So I'll reassess then.

Let's try to stay rational and on topic, keeping the thread bumped for visibility and for people to post their connection results. I'm 99% sure a government agency isn't behind this. This is getting a bit ridiculous talking about FOIA and NSA.
