Sorry SE, but endgame won't work if you don't fix something.

I know I'm going against my post but this is from 09-13-2013 09:38 AM. Why is this getting bumped almost every day? Nothing will be done about it. This post, while informative, is old news.

Prior to the live letter, I think the bumping was more about going "Hey SE! This is still an issue!" Or at least it was for me. They had been known to dismiss things as no longer an issue when people stop responding or posting about it. After the live letter the thread went into hiding for a good chunk of time until someone back on page 164 bumped it (not sure why), maybe because separate threads were popping up about the issue so they thought education was needed? I don't know if anyone is intentionally bumping it now.. more just responding to people, less about keeping it on the front page.

yeah the only way to see if its SE's end or your end that is causing the problem is to try and use a free/trial tunneling service like wtfast. if it fixes the problem for u, then its ur connection and no the game. I wont be surprised if at least half of the people here will get their lag fixed by using this.

I recommended this method to 2 people already, one of them lives in NY and the other is from Australia....they now have almost no lag. Even if this would remove the lag for most of the people complaining about it, is not the issue I think. Most of the responses will be ....why should I pay an extra monthly fee for a service just to play this game?.....I never had to use this service for other MMOs and they ran smoothly.

yeah, and i guess i understand. its an unfamiliar concept for them, having to pay extra for a 3rd party program in order to play a game the way it was meant to be played. but it is the way it is until SE add more servers closer to them. at least now they will have a "fix" if u could call it that, until that happens. its an extra 5 bucks but yeah, it'll make their gaming a lot more enjoyable.

It wasnt fixed in 2.1

It wasn't fixed in 2.1

What a shame, I was honestly hoping for better news. I guess I'm going to have to stop hoping and just accept the fact that SE won't/can't fix this issue. I really wished SE was going to help players not have their FF adventure cut so short.

So sad really, since I liked many aspects of the game itself. It's like owning a Ferrari with a flat tire you can never change.

Yup, take one person's opinion as gospel, don't ask for second opinions.

It was fixed on the endgame instances.

That's what these forums are for. Me taking an "opinion as gospel" would be saying you're nothing but a white knight due to your comment.

Ri_ri's comment seems to contradict your logic of "It was fixed on endgame instances," unless you don't consider certain Hard Mode instances as endgame. As a result, I based my hypothesis on the prediction that SE had fixed (i.e. increased the positioning rate) for instances that people had complained about previously and would be lazy to implement these changes to new instances (due to server inadequacies).

I welcome second opinions greatly and not posts that are a complete waste of space.

I didn't have problems before, and now I really don't have problems. If anything I had to retrain myself not to be so punchy with boss positioning and premoving.

Glad you're having no troubles. However, since you did not experience the problem to begin with, your data is excluded from the analysis since it does not help answer the question: "Has the netcode issue been fixed?"

This game is better off being referred to as a Volkswagen, not a Ferrari.
