Bad lag again with NTT's NA server network

[jazix]

Ever since patch 6.4, I have been having fps stuttering issues, mainly a 4-5 fps drop for a second then back to normal for a while. Could this be caused by the server issues?

That doesn't sound like a packet loss issue, as that doesn't affect frame rate. When your connection to the server is interrupted, you'll usually see every other character in the world stop moving, and your actions stop working.

dont worry guys, during 7.0 this packet loss problem will still be around, its clearly a feature of the game and not a bug wink wink

I certainly hope so! Hard mode Copied Factory where half the alliance disconnects during the last boss is just amazing.

The packet loss, lag and disconnects are getting worse by the day, a VPN helped for a while but not anymore.
Now i cant even get into a instance without DCing, is almost unplayable at this point

If this continues i see no alternative besides quiting the game

After a month of no issues, today the lag is back with a vengeance. Everyone on screen freezing every five seconds or so, and could barely get through doing mini cactpot for the day. Again, it all goes to crap within ntt, looks like sacramento maybe? Everything was fine last night.

Lag is unplayable..thanks SE for using such high quality providers....parts with unreceived hops and its not on my end.

This has to stop. Get NTT on the damn phone and get your Sacramento node FIXED. I'm hitting FREEZE FRAMES. This in particular was for pinging Aether, the DC everyone goes to to do any content nowadays. Right now it's unplayable for any combat content.

Sacramento Node still above 150+ms. Send help.

i use Xfinity, not at&t, and the lag is unbearable. it's not even worth logging in right now. i can't even see myself when i mount for at least 3-5 seconds. did a hunt train last night and couldn't even see the mobs spawning until i was dead. it's horrible. the only thing i have been doing for the last week is struggling through frontline roulette once a day and checking my island sanctuary for a moment before logging out because i don't even want to see what a dungeon or raid looks like at this point. I did maps on friday and some of my party members from my FC were having this same problem during maps. moves not registering for long periods, mobs not appearing, dying to things they can't see until they are dead. i really hope the devs figure out a way to turn this around soon. I play mainly Mch and this is no fun at all. Tried paladin and it was just as bad. for the first time in a while i am actually looking for alternative games to play because i can't stand to play any ffxiv in this state of lag.

The game was mostly fine for the latter half of last week, but leave it to reset day to make it unplayable. Disconnects every 3 minutes on the dot since ~7 PM EST for me.
