strange lag issues (they started after today maintenance )

[Istym]

It honestly feels like I am trying to pick up pennies while wearing boxing gloves atm.

Bump still laggy as heck in dungeons

[TerryBogard]

Me too, many lag.

Just done a Castrum run and managed to avoid all AoE with ease.

I'm starting to think perhaps these Micky Mouse servers just cannot cope with the load during peak times and suspect the bean counters at Square will be demanding a return on their investment before releasing the required funds needed to fix this.

So we have went from servers we could not log into to servers that let us on but with a vastly deteriorated quality of service.

If Square are serious about this product then I suggest they put there money where their mouth is, give the community a backend with enough muscle to cope with the demand.

I am wholly confident were I to roll a character on a low population server that I would see a remarkable improvement of performance during peak hours.

Been having this problem since launch (didn't have it in beta 4 though).

[meowththatsright]

dont think this is a server issue with high population density since its happening across a lot of different servers

Is this similar to y'alls issue?http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...s-everybody%29

[Fonkyama]

Yeah looks similar, although the fact this appeared right after yesterday's maintenance is bothering me (I was aware of others having that issue, but never experienced it on my end until yesterday).

Not only cannot I tank anything with this lag, but I cannot even do some crafting/gathering without constant lag on all my actions. The lack of answer from SE is also not encouraging. I'll wait until this is addressed before subscribing as this is making it very hard to love the game.

Same here, since yesterday's maintenance(the 2 hours long one), I have gamebreaking latency issues, I can't even play since when aoe appears, i'm already dead(not just on the verge of dying, but dead).
Server : Ragnarok
ISP : numericable
Country : france

It happens at all times , I tried yesterday afternoon, evening and this morning, the result is the same.
I didn't have much latency related issues before, only a few rare freezes every now and then and the "normal" latency considering that the servers are a bit far from EU.

Stuttering, lag, my graphic cards show 90-99% activity-usage after last maintenance.
Graphics are loading while "walking".
This issue was not here before maintenance. Everything was smooth (not counting skill activation delay-hit registration etc.)
