Bad lag again with NTT's NA server network

[n_n]

Cloudflare Warp is probably suffering from bad peak time congestion. I can only guess that many people are now using it since it's been the most suggested free VPN in this thread and the FFXIV subreddit.

Edit: What probably doesn't help Cloudflare Warp's situation is the fact it seems to be a VPN with just a single button to enable globally on your system. From what I've read you can't set it so only certain program(s) route through the VPN's connection, so there's probably a lot of bandwidth being pointlessly wasted from watching videos, downloading heavy files, etc. Free VPNs can only handle so much.

Having awful ping and packet loss. Got carried by a sweetheart healer and two dps in the new MSQ story. Won't be playing until this is resolved. Send the packet/ping info to SQ and reached out to ATT only to be sent back here. Is there anything else we can do in the meantime? I've been having this issue for nearly two weeks and been not playing this game due to this issue.

Try a VPN or another game.

As others have reported, about 30 minutes ago Warp started having issues, at least here in the southeast US.

It wasn't just my ping to XIV that suddenly got bad, even pinging Google's dns 8.8.8.8 was dropping packets with it turned on. Turning Warp off and everything (except XIV of course) returned to normal.

Same exact thing happened to me.

Heh. Maybe we should ask the people at Cloudflare if they know anyone who can help get this fixed. :P

Interesting. Indiana here, and Warp had no issues for me tonight. I'll keep an eye on it tomorrow during my game time and see how it feels/how the ping and packet loss look.

Well, not doing any dungeoning tonight that's for sure tho I unlocked the new dungeon. I'll wait until morning, hopefully it won't be getting hit as hard then.

Went ahead and pulled the trigger on 1 year of Nord VPN for $70 dolla to try since Cloudflare shit the bed. I NEED to be able to play with Mistress without tempers flaring over lag. I have other more expensive habits I can cut back on.

As someone who is interested in trying Nord and knows not the first thing about VPNs, do you mind if I ask how it works? Do you just pay for the membership, install the app, pick a location and "turn it on?"

The packet loss problem has been fucking up my crafts, right at the time when materials are most expensive. Someone please get this fixed, this is inexcusable.
