Really sick of the EU latency problems

I know about it perfectly well. That has nothing to do with latency (well it adds to it, but not the main problem).
It can be worked around if you predict the easy pattern Titan has. Of course that's not how a game should be like, but I'm sure anyone can overcome it with more effort.

That's off-topic.

Sorry for the post in general its just rather fustrating. i live in norway and it seems its people from norway and some other countries that have the problem. it's every night and.. well ya..

I can sign this. Ran titan yesterday, and two other raidmates are from norway aswell, and had to quit because of spiking. As i were the tank it was fine for me.
Noone else seemed to have this problem though.

But the unnecessary 200ms pingtime over the pond is rather annoying.

What some of you are describing is poor performance by your own ISPs or overloaded zone servers from the massive number of people zerging fates etc.

There is however a latency problem. The netcode in FFXIV does very well to keep everything looking smooth and feeling responsive but when you have to dodge templates with short cast times it is incredibly noticeable how much latency there is for EU players.

Run 2 clients side by side or with a friend record each of your viewpoints of the same encounter and then watch them together.

As a tank I very regularly see myself meters outside of a template I dodged. But on my friends recording of the same fight played side by side you see where the server thought I was. Right in the template. That's the latency we need EU data centers to fix.

It's certainly something to think about. None of my EU friends have had huge latency issues either.

Where is that ostrich with its head in the sand.gif when you need it ?

"It doesn't effect me so you are making things up" L2P ...

There is clear server latency, SE themselves have said their servers update your position every 300ms, that is a massive chunk of latency right there which doesn't even take into account the connection latency.

EU servers will only help slightly, only SE can fix this with better server optimisation and better net code. (good luck hoping for that though)

Also on top of this we are getting masive lag spikes during peek times making many of the twitch fights like Titan near impossible.

Fix your servers SE !, and give us real EU servers also !

I think its more of an instance-server congestion problem than a latency issue.

[Razzlie]

I'm in an EU raiding FC and every single person in our groups has experienced being hit by HM titan landslide/plumes despite being clearly out of them as well as server side lag spikes, these happen pretty much exclusively during prime time in my experience.

Hope this will be fixed. I have experienced this when leveling. Suddenly I am hit with a certain spell and die. Or simply stops doing anything and I get 90k error and usually have to wait a few minutes before I can continue to play. They really need to get EU servers to EU.

[Yukiko]

I'm EU and I've never had this problem.

If you are born with a handycap you will never know that you even have a handycap.
To deny that latency problems are an issue is to close the eyes from reality.
Indeed it is proven that latency alone is not the source of frustration here, but in add to other delays in sum you will feel the difference!

You serious ?

Have you ever been to... well... Coerthas ???


I am from France and the latency is horrible during week-end. It's not near playable.
3-4sec freezes every 6-7sec, sometimes even 20sec+ freezes and freeze to Disconnection.

Yes, because this is totally my main account.

Either way, still no problem in any of the hard mode primals. I get the same slight delay as all of my NA friends get. Stop trying to feel all forlorn because you're from EU.

I also get latency / lag issues from time to time. I have started to notice that it is most likely to happen during prime time but it can also be at random time of day. I experience this as people around me start rubber banding. My animation is smooth but the world around will freeze up, then suddenly fast forward to catch up. The severity and for how long this will last varies greatly.
