Hi fellow warriors !

Just wondering if any msians have lag since the last patch where they changed the Diadem.
Been playing for about 4 months now

Not using any sort of tunneling software before, ping been always sitting around 300ms.

But the line's really bad now, like 3k ms and I cant get anything done. Then later it builds up
and takes about 6 secs to even fetch data from the MB board.


Can someone advice me on how to resolve this ?



I live in Tonberry

I'm getting some fairly epic lag myself while playing on Tonberry. It would be fairly decent for a brief moment and then boom, lagspikes galore. Was away over the weekend so I'd only noticed the lagspikes today when I started playing in the evening.

Forgot to mention I also play in Tonberry

Yes even in towns the lag makes the game unplayable. Been going on for about a week now..

missing on DFs and drex. no way to do thorex now too :/

i think it has something to do with the new patch last week
not just us having issues like that

Not entirely sure if it's the patch or something on our end. I was able to play smoothly without any problems earlier this morning and the lag spikes/disconnects started up again after 10am. Just tried using WTFast and no problems since. Hoping that this gets fixed soon

Well looks like its back to normal. had to tunnel for a few days.

Really? Dang, I'm still having to use WTFast or everyone would be skating around heh. Was hoping the recent maintenance fixed it

Scratch that. The moment I posted earlier I'm lagged out even with WTFast

Since last month, my connection on Tonberry server getting very unstable with constant lag spike, been playing for 2 years w/o problem, now its only smooth during midnight, making end game raid impossible. WTFast not helping either. Any ideas ?

Btw, those who doing fine, which ISP you are using? I'm Unifi VIP5, would like to consider other options.

I dont use the MYR/SG/SEA servers. Just use HK/Taiwan instead. The former are unreliable and are more prone to lag spikes for some reason.

Yeah yesterday I tried using WTFast but all servers are unavailable. When I logged in without WTFast its actually accessible but with the usual lag spikes. WTFast mentioned the servers cannot be pinged due to ISP restricting it. I can only log in with WTFast after about 1am. Hopefully this do not repeat again.

All this while I can play without any tunnel even when raiding (300 ms though). All of a sudden this crap occurs. I wonder why.

Im on unifi VIP30

Upgraded to Advance 30, higher ping but stable. Hope it's worth.

Strangely right after WTF ended their free service I can play without having to use any software tunnel.

Wanted to try wtfast. What is your ping with wtfast?

WTFast...I think it was about an average 150 ?

Stopped using it since I can play without tunnel now, though its about 200-240 ping.
It was unplayable for a while that is why I resorted to WTFast.

awww, still 150ms, im on unifi vip50 ping is about 180-190, not helping much if improves to 150ms

Yeaps, my unifi's pretty much the same lol. When I had the line problem its either 150 or 5000 so WTFast was a no brainer

I see i see. Means we can have the best ping is 150 as malaysian. Even with 3rd party software. Kinda sad 😧

Hi guys, i notice without VPN i have like 150-180 ping but the problem is everytime i play the sending and receiving signal always drop to zero like every sec for 5-10 sec long. this make my game totally unplayable. Anyone here facing this problem? by the way i am using Unifi 30. Router Assus RT-AC66U.

same issue.. Unifi 30mbps also.. probably Unifi problems again.. maybe their routing issue

i play other Online game like Guild wars 2, i am getting 250-300 ms but i don't even feel the lag. this final fantasy 14 has lower ping but always disconnect. Tonight i cannot even play like more than 10 minutes. i ask the people but nope of them is lagging. Some people suggest in internet VPN does solve pocket loss problem. trying to find one free VPn and give it a try. any suggestion?

i try pingzapper in trial mode, it is smooth like hell right now, no pocket loss.

hate to say but yeah hard to play this game without vpn

so VPN is a must in this game?? i remember 2-3 years ago when i participate the Close Beta i did not needed any VPN or whatsoever to play the game smoothly.

not really a must but better. especially when u raiding end contents vpn much better with it. i think only unifi has problem. last time it was ok with average 120ms.

I'm using streamyx and I need VPN to solve the lag issue. My fren using unifi don have the issue tho.
I started using wtfast this week, got no issue earlier... Few days later I got frequent dc and lag spikes but only certain time only, been using SG server.

using vpn jp server 90ms average

i don't really like Wtfast, coz i think pingzapper is more easy and simple to use, yesterday i try it using Singapore server no lag at all. i heard a lot of people mention Mudfish VPN in google. Anyone try it before? coz i heard it is really cheap and second comes pingzapper, in case if this game really need VPN i guess i guess i will go for cheaper and more efficient one.

Currently playing at Masamune JP. Last time my ping was 178-189 (frequent timeout). After contacting unifi to refresh the port, I get 142-160 which improved a lot in term of smoothness.

You can try paste this on cmd to check your connection status.

JP Server
ping 124.150.157.158 -n 200

NA Server
ping 199.91.189.74 -n 200

Tested without vpn. And using google dns.

Hope its help

Tested on my company, i able to get ping average 108 which i think is very good. haven't tried the game in the company though. Maybe i shall call Unifi to refresh the port like what you do through. Thanks

Your welcome, I'm glad if it help. By the way, this morning I tried to test ping again wirelessly (not using a LAN connection). I got a whopping 114-156ms with no packet lost. Refreshing the port does improved then.
