Lagg upon lagg upon lagg

[Kalenen]

The lagg on the servers is totally unacceptable, it is almost constant on the server lich and makes the game unplayable for raids and dungeons

i pinged the servers and got back 124 ms

i live in sweden and SE have the EU servers in Canada. Yes.... Canada thats right you read it correct, last time i checked Canada isnt a part of Europe!

So is SE doing anything about this? getting better servers? planning to open a server hall in EUROPE?

i will be forced to stop playing this game if this isnt fixed soon

i have tried removing the router, i have tried my other computer and checked my internet speed so the problems doesnt lie on my side.

my friend who plays the game also has this problem

Also was this thread locked? cause i cant post in it

I am in uk. works fine for me. It also works fine for me.

Thing is this. While your internet connection may be working fine, The servers are also working fine. There could however be a problem at one of the hops your connection takes to the server.
I do not have the server IP so i wouldn't be able to help you check this.

If you can however find out the server ip you would be able to check each hop and see where the problem is. If would think if it was a server problem EVERYONE on your server would have having the same problem.

We have no info from SE.
I don't know if they feel concerned during the 1st free month.
They will maybe start to react if too many ppl quit the game before the payment.

124 ms should be perfectly fine and virtually unnoticeable. It sounds like you may have one of the ISPs that is throttling FFXIV as if it were P2P software so you're getting spikes as a result. That, or, as the previous poster said, there may be an issue at one of the "hops" the connection takes between you and the game servers. Every ISP routes connections differently so it isn't something SE can control directly. Honestly I think some ISPs need a kick in the head because I've seen hops that go halfway around the world the wrong way before reaching the destination. There's no reason it should take almost 20 hops to get from EU to the FFXIV game servers.

Sorry but these are excuses, decent MMOs have separate European and NA data centres because that provides better performance - less hops, less hubs to go through, less lag spikes (and smaller lag spikes) and less packet loss, that an MMO asking for a sub does not have separate data centres is a joke.

I have no lagg whatosever at any time. Maybe I'm just lucky? or maybe it's your ISP and not the servers?

This is NOT a terrible ping. You should still be able to play smoothly and dodge with this.

Mining/harvesting lag is incredibly annoying. It's horrible around primetime, and then disappears entirely late at night. SE, your servers suck. Get new ones.

Just so everyone understands, lag does not usually effect you during battles (other than FPS lag) because your abilities can actually fire off whether or not you're connected to the server. The damage is the only thing that is calculated server-side.

It's entirely different for mining/harvesting. The action cannot be performed, like a weapon skill, without receiving a response from the server. The same is true for crafting.

This would be true for everyone then.

It is true for everyone...? I'm not sure what your point is. The entire server shouldn't have to suffer because of crappy servers.
