Bad lag again with NTT's NA server network

[Elizara]

I hope so too Rekts. At least it's starting a bit late it seems (It showed up again around 5-6 EST); I am prolly going to use PingPlotter before I login or I give Neko the okay to login for a while.

Yeah, still struggling here too:

Trace complete.

My sub expires at the end of this week. I'd like to hope that it'd be fixed before that point but I'm not sure how realistic that is.

[Janyd]

At least this weekend's traceroutes and pings have shown that either they're actually working at the node, traffic is in flux due to the weekend holiday, both of those, or it's something else entirely/an anomaly.

Savage week will be the real telling blow.

But I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that hotfixes will require 3 hours of downtime a little later, from 12AM to 3AM Pacific. Not that it'd impact matters here too much, just worth noting.

For me, lag was significantly worse than yesterday.

[Elizara]

EorzeaHero69; what time was it? I was fine up from 1 EST up until 3 or 4, then I decided to pingplotter the lobby server again and discovered it was prolly a very bad connection now, so went to do something else. A lagging whm is a very unhappy whm, and since I see your main class is paly I think you can relate to that; tanks don't need to be lagging either.

[Rekts]

In the last hour the lag has gotten a lot worse. It was manageable earlier(but still very inconvenient) but now for me it's back to being unplayable.

I'm so tired of not being able to play properly.

[Titor]

It's been so hard to PvP. Even on my vpn, it's still a little laggy. I've been PvPing since PvP came out in this game, and never saw it this bad for so long. My hopes of placing in this CC season are waning quickly.

Still happening here as well. Still nearly 100% packet loss on NTT servers up to the final hops IP. Below is the latest Tracert results.

Playable with the use of VPN thankfully but Square needs to give us another update on whats being done to resolve this. This isn't a "fix".

With Savages next week its gonna be real fun watching players constantly disconnecting mid run if they are not already using a VPN. This will hopefully upset players not being affected by the lag themselves as they can't complete runs with their group without these issue and they'll hopefully add full to the flames.

Keep reporting the issue to the below form posted by Square and make the issue visible on socials or even Squares own post. Even if its possibly NTT or whatever IPs fault, its Square responsibility to keep us up to date and fix it. Issue again for me and others is only happening on FFXIV.

Keep it up with the reports. I'm positive it'll be fixed eventually.

*edit, sorry url was broken lol. fixed it. Packet loss form is at the bottom of the list.

It's baaaaaaaaaack.

Yesterday was lovely, I got a chance to finish Panda. But today WHAM comes the rubberbanding again. :<

Went down as a DPS on on castrum meridiuam
for the first time ever because of this lag. If people can’t even run basic msq what is SE even doing
