Bad lag again with NTT's NA server network

[Janyd]

Hey still having the same issues as everyone else. No difference with connection with nearly 100% packet loss on the NTT servers end. Having no issues outside of FFXIV....

This maybe the hopium speaking but I feel positive about the latest update from Square yesterday.

"the teams did find that connection quality was degrading at certain points on the Internet, depending on the connection used to reach the servers."

"we are working with the network carriers that are directly connected to our servers to resolve the issue,".

From what I'm understanding this means they at least see what we've all been seeing with the issues on NTT servers end and are speaking to them to resolve it. It is always a good idea to double check with your ISP to make sure that your connection to the internet is as solid as possible, even though that is clearly not what is wrong here.

Really all we can do at this point is keep submitting the Tracert reports and honestly keep pressure Square on this forum and any other social media platform to keep them aware that this is still a major problem that needs to be fixed.

If you really have to play you can use a VPN as a workaround. Don't stop keeping the pressure on Square though. This is NOT a fix from Square and we shouldn't have to ourselves find ways to fix the issue. We as the consumer should only have to consume the product we pay for.

Exactly this. Also, nothing wrong with "Hopium" in my book. It beats hopeless cynicism and the "we are nothing" bull going around.
Despair is for cowards, and that is not my style.

Use a VPN as a workaround if you must, or 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare Warp) if you can get it to work, but keep the pressure on 'em.

Lest we forget, keep sending your Traceroutes and Pings to this form: https://secure.square-enix.com/enqt3...NETWORK_N/html

There's a difference between despair and being realistic. Thanks for the insinuation that I'm a coward, though.

Forgive me if I don't think going on about FIGHTING SPIRIT and the POWER OF FRIENDSHIP is going to solve this issue like we're in an anime or JRPG.

I have said countless times that I hope I'm wrong and that things get resolved. So there's no need for thinly-veiled personal attacks.

We're on the same side here, we both want this fixed. We just have different viewpoints on aspects of the situation.
