also, the average reaction time to visual stimuli is like 275-280 ms. adding in the actual latency you could be looking at half-second functional latency depending on where you are.

Okay, so now that I'm on the machine I actually have FFXIV installed on, it's pinging at 54 ms. Not sure why that'd make a difference, but there it is. At least it's not total packet loss.

If this game was as unforgiving about AOEs as WoW was back when I had a 300ms ping to the west cost server I'd be pretty jumpy too, but this one...eh. If I still PVPed then I'd be pretty bitchy but lol PVP. I wouldn't blame the people in the EU for going way more local though, 200+ms is kinda annoying to play with and seems like there's enough people now to fill a FC. Edit: the folks bitching about less than that

50ish to ~160 from new england. Hooray.  On the upside I had constant issues with packet loss and random delays due to Comcast being poo poo, so a longer but more consistent ping is better in the long run. And it'll probably be shorter once I boot up mudfish again. On the other hand, no way am I going to try leveling NIN in Stormblood considering the issues I had doing mudras right as it is...

My ping has stayed essentially the same. As a sidenote, my ping is worse than Mr.Nice!' in Florida and I am in Texas and this amuses me but it also might be why they didn't pick a location here.

I'm kind of hoping that when people get to play again tomorrow it's a total disaster if only for the salt. But then it's fixed in time for ~Stormblood period so I don't have to deal with it being a disaster.

I'm in Toronto, and I went from around 15 to 100. Which kind of sucks. I also hit that Ragnarok IP out of curiosity and it's around 140. I'm kind of miffed that the difference between the current NA and EU is smaller than the difference between the old NA and the new NA. But oh well. I'm not too concerned. I'll get used to it. This is a ping I'm used to sitting at in online games, anyway. Crazy low ping was nice while it lasted. I'm a bit concerned that the max hits I get from the NA server are higher than the EU servers. Inconsistency is worse than a higher ping, imo. But it'll probably be fine. If it isn't, I can look into that VPN.

Revolutions was kinda meh, but honestly I think every theme they do is going to sit in the shadow of Answers for me. Such a good emotional range, and I would wind up singing along to it when I was doing T13.

It's less prevalent with Dragonsong but perhaps that might be because it's the first one after Answers, but Revolutions feels a bit like they had a checklist where they had cross off each of the things Answers has to make it worth of being the theme for an FFXIV game, rather than just making a kick rear end song. It's not bad but it's underwhelming.

Has there been any hint of a free server transfer with the server moves? I've been meaning to go to Excalibur for a while now and it'd be nice to do it for free.vOv posted:Revolutions was kinda meh, but honestly I think every theme they do is going to sit in the shadow of Answers for me.

The live performance of Answers I had during one of the Distant Worlds was probably one of the top three live performances of music I've ever heard. It's really an incredible song.

Mr. Nice! posted:If mudfish is connecting already to the new server locations (which it should be based on the updated IP routing) then I'm still able to get sub 50ms ping from Florida. I don't think it is connecting to the new locations yet, because for me Mudfish is still saying ~100-110ms from the UK, whereas pinging the IP that someone gave before gives me ~210ms. I doubt Mudfish is making me have the same ping as I got to the old servers. Also lol that my ping is more than doubling if these numbers are accurate. Thanks SE.

I ran Creator savage as NIN with 160-180~ ping, AMA (all the answers are "get carried", don't bother actually asking) Also I'm not sure Mudfish routing has updated, there's a single post in the "support" forums for it from a random guy saying he'll update as soon as he gets some new packets when the servers are up. If they're going to the new servers already, my VPN ping just went down 10 ms.

From 25ms to 100ms. Not the apingalypse I thought it would be, but it looks like that extra Skill Speed I melded just in case of this won't be wasted.

Hello friends, I just heard that the NA data centres are being moved to California or such meaning I'll finally be able actually play this game instead of being at 300+ ms. Is it yet known when the servers will be live at their new location?

RIP my ability to ever play NIN since I live in MA, I guess. I'm upset they chose the option that pretty much maximally screws me over specifically, but I'll probably live. The joke is on all of us when the servers get destroyed in an earthquake though. Edit: Just checked and my ping is 89 ms. That's... livable, I guess. I still feel personally spited. Anyone got the EU server addresses? I doubt my ping would be better to them, but it might make for an amusing comparison. Edit2: Just saw the Ragnarok IP posted earlier, 115 ms. Nearly equal, kind of funny I guess. Obligatum VII fucked around with this message at 23:51 on May 16, 2017 |

Office Surprise Store posted:oh my god i am getting so loving sick of people who know literally nothing about how network architecture works You seem to be assuming I had dropped packets before. A latency increase with no packet loss before or after is still a shittier scenario. That being said, I know full well that 89 ms isn't actually that terrible, I wasn't being serious about the NIN comment. The fact that it was still the shittiest choice for me and the attitudes of some of the west coast posters in this thread still makes the whole situation feel spiteful though.
