I'm elated, but somewhat dismayed to see people having the same issue I am. I'm also in the Northern Virgina area with Verizon FIOS (50/25). The issue seems more severe with any Duty Finder instance. At times, the action on my screen pauses for 20+ seconds! This started on 8/25 or 8/26, but in phase 4 beta everything was smooth as silk.

Playing a healer is pretty much out of the question, and a tank is not much better. Even my damage output as DD is greatly diminished because I'll be hitting mobs that are still alive on my screen that have long since been dead. This is the only game I have issues with. All other online games run great.

I love this game, but the lag is killing it for me because I can't be a reliable player for anything! Knowing Verizon, they won't do jack about it so it's up to SE. That doesn't exactly make me feel great. All we can do is continue to raise awareness on the issue.

Exact same issue and I am here in central Texas, going through Time Warner Cable. What is weird is when I make it to the Inn the connection is perfectly fine (reading the network info on the top right) but has soon has I go anywhere else whether its a main city or some place way out of the way with little traffic, its the same. Its not a router or wireless issue either, I can run Crunchyroll and YouTube just fine AT THE SAME TIME and no issues, but FFXIV on its own while I actually do connect has lag issues outside of the inn.

I thought I was the only one. I hope they fix this. I really like this game but it is unplayable for me the last 2 days.

Funnily enough I barely lag at all from 5am - 10am (GMT+8)

And then it starts.

*sigh*

I'm having the same issue dungeons and fates are a nightmare. Like others have stated I also have Verizon Fios which is odd. Everything was running fine until the recent maintenance before that I only ever had a little lag. I hope this is fixed quickly.

So far about an hour over the VPN and everything has been a dream. Very little in the way of lag. I'll report back again in a few hours.

If you don't mind me asking, where are you connecting to and from with the VPN?

I'm in Virginia with Fios like most here and am sick of tanking with this throttled bandwidth crap.

From what people are saying the servers are in Montreal?? So if I VPN to Montreal I should be good...
