Problems with connection (R0) lag

[Shalirys]

Well, I can get in... and stay in... but goodness healing instances is a pain in the neck.

Here's to hoping it'll be fixed when everything is running smoothly.

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.

well ive done a bunch of trace routes to the server hubs from my northern va fios connection, i saw some packet loss but nothing constant enough to make me believe there is a problem. ive monitored my ping to a google server to see if it was my end of the connection messing up, but it was solid for about 2 hours while the game was lagging. the game is pretty much unplayable for me as a healer right now. its constant freezing still every 10 seconds

i made a character on an EU server and sat in town, i didnt notice it at all there. I'm not sure what the problem is, but i dont really know how to bring this to their attention. they have other stuff to deal with i guess. i just dont know what changed from saturday and sunday, it was playing great. i even made a comment to someone about how i havent experienced lag one time

Hopefully new servers will fix something. <sigh> why didnt they just put the servers in texas or chicago.

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.
