Horrible Server Lag Needs To Be Fixed ASAP

[Kaliska]

I have to agree - the game at times is borderline unplayable in an instance (sometimes). This wasn't an issue in 1.0 really (or its beta), or the start of beta of ARR (or any other MMO I have played while waiting for re-release with the exact same rig and the exact same provider). Now, its Russian roulette when I sign on at night. Simply put, something needs to be done and it seems like it's being swept under the rug in the hopes that since it doesn't effect everyone, they'll get a pass.

Shortly before the last big maintenance I was having 500-2000 ping on Odin and on instance servers. After the maintenance, I'm having anywhere from 1k-6k ping on Odin, which is ridiculous. On instance servers I'm okay, at 200 ping or below. My ping was okay before the first 10 hour DF maintenance, but this is the worst ping/lag I have ever had in any game I've played. I hope they fix it soon. I don't think it has anything to do with my internet or computer (highest speed available locally), and I don't think my ISP is throttling my internet. I really hope they get it fixed soon though, as I'm tired of being hit by aoe and such that I've already moved out of and letting my party down. It makes me afraid to go on my healer classes too, as I don't want anyone dying on my watch. =/

The biggest problem is that it affects everyone but most ppl dont even think its bug and think its normal.

That is probably because they come from 1.0 or XI and have different point of reference - to them this is an improvement.
I don't believe anyone who was raiding in wow, would not notice these problems.

I made a thread again demanding an answer to all these issues with all the threads of the same type compiled in it:

If it gets deleted for not having a format or whatever I'll remake it in the general forum.

There are horrible lag issues during prime time, and you can see it if you ping the NA servers. Normally it is ~110ms, but when its laggy it shoots over ~250ms. It makes doing red circle fights impossible, and people will think you are a retard unless you tell them you got lag issues. They still will think you are a tard. I was doing chimera during the lag spikes and I got hit by almost every AoE... did it later in the wee hours of the morning... never got hit once.

Ya know I think this is pretty accurate to say, most of the people I have spoken to in game who says its not an issue haven't had much experience with other MMO's besides the two you mention.

This ^ Since maintenance it has only gotten worse for me and the people I know to the point where it hinders our events.

Aside from the 0.3 second poll I've started experiencing increased lag over the last few days. Yesterday 3-5 PST I was experiencing delays of up to a couple seconds. Ran Haukke Manor to help a friend and it was just terrible lag during the whole run. At one point I thought I was going to DC. Not sure if this is SE's problem or some router is experiencing problems along the way but it's just terrible, and it only occurs with XIV.

Contacted my ISP, they checked what they could and so did I.
According to them it's SE their servers.
160 Mb/s 90 ping and 110-150 latency in game but plagued by 2-3 seconds delay.

I ping 7 with their net work and before leaving Europe 18.
There is no package loss and no lag spikes from my side up to the server.
