A European datacenter!

[Mishayangg]

Got great data centers here in Sweden for Facebook (they were kind enough to enhance the fibers a lot too) ... so place the servers here!

Hello,

We really need a eu datacenter, I have been between 70 and 140-200 ping and it's impossible to have any kind of responsibility/be sure of doing properly in the game.I've been competing and achieving servers firsts in other games, i competed for world firsts, so I think I'm good enough to avoid the red circles or cones, and yet sometimes no matter how far I go, I get hit.With some people we had happen that we were standing in the same spot, we both saw eachother there, we moved at the same time moving from the aoe, ended in the same spot, I died, they didn't.

I also can't play a proper tank or any stun/silence duty, no matter how I memorize the pattern, or try and have lightning reflexes, half the time it just doesn't go off in time, I had situations where the mob had the stun debuff, stopped attacking and moving, and rubberbanded around, or finished the killer cast.

It's not playable for eu players most of the time in end game scenarios if this keeps going

Hello

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...P2P-throttling This sounds more like your problem than the data centre location, same goes for other people in this thread.

I will post, but I know fairly well my isp for a lot of reasons I won't go into detail(too long and doesn't matter here), they are never throttling the p2p since it's one of their main sellers, I will double check with them and post the info, so thanks, but also consider that all my friends and people I know from italy(and some other countries) have the same issue, in different strokes.I'll try and check but I find strange that the only non-eu datacenter game makes me horrible at the game, and all others magically I never have lag issues...what a strange coincidence..

The ping ranges you posted show you don't have a latency issue to the server location as you are well within the acceptable range for MMO's (i have played many from EU/UK to NA servers including action combat ones). Also the game is programmed that certain skills take effect a split second or 2 after their animation. Most notably healing, you don't get healed at the same time as the animation you get it a little bit after the animation, which is why sometimes people will die even when the healing spell lands because it's not set to register till a small pause after, the same goes with "instant" cast abilities you don't use another instant cast off the GCD ability after it because you have to wait for it's animation to end before using another.

Also not to mention there is a small carry over from FFXI if you stun an ability too late even though it's cast bar is almost completed it will still go off, it's the same for players when they cast spells if they move before the spell is completed it will go off.

I am inconsistently hit by AOE attacks after being outside the red circle, and I'm in Boston with a fiber (30mbps) internet connection! I'm not so sure latency is the only thing to blame here... maybe it's all those PS3 players...

It's the way the game reports/updates your position, only 3 times per second (or every 333ms), which adds 333ms to whatever your latency is -- and just because you have a 30mbps data connection; doesn't mean you have a low latency/ping to the server. There's a difference.

lol I didn't notice this thread until now, was just posting about titan latency in the titan hard mode topic, and looked like some european people didn't have any problems about latency or they were fine with it.

Anyway yes I'm having big problems about the lag, like many of my friends, can't believe they keep opening NA servers without giving us an EU datacenter so we can go there and live better.

EU data centers would be nice, i bet titan hm is lovely with under 80ms -_-
