But once again nothing will change be cause enough people will defend everything in this game even 4 months DDoS issues. This game starts finally starts to look like an indie game.
Wait no forget this Indie devs try to listen too the customers and fix their stuff.

It's easy to dunk against SE, especially given how unhappy people are regarding Dawntrail. However, DDoS attacks are fairly common. It's to be expected with a game this large and popular to be targeted often. There's also no way to completely stop these attacks. The most they can do is reduce the impact.

that changes nothing with what I've said
as someone in IT, then you would know how common the attacks can be and that there is very little that can be done to prevent them, only mitigate

regarding other games, I wouldn't know, FFXIV is the only MMO I've played in recent years outside of the handful of times I pop into GW2 to do WvW
otherwise I play singleplayer RPGs

I wouldn't have that knowledge nor do I have the interest in arguing about the subject
It isn't surprising that a big game gets DDoS'd

I wish we were allowed to play a AAA MMO. People were told to quit WoW to come here, and yet this game keeps getting DDoSed along with all the other issues (lack of content, bad story, etc). It’s like all the gimmicks you used to get people to quit WoW were just lies. I’m used to this treatment since I’m not from WoW, but now I’m a bit jealous from what they have. We’re not allowed to have stable servers, we can’t have content, we can’t even have basic anti-cheat for PvP. Why are we forced to accept less just because we play FFXIV? Isn’t Square Enix also a AAA company?

Speak for YOURSELF. Most people ARE having fun in FF14 even with the DDoS. It's an AAA game in every way.

Right, that's cool. But why are we not allowed to have all the nice features that other games have? Why are we forced to accept your standard as the ideal, when no other mainstream MMO has to deal with this? Why are you the adjudicator of quality instead of what the players at large want (see the rest of this forum, Steam reviews, 5ch, mainstream reviews, blogs, vlogs, etc.)?

It's actually becoming so pathetic now, usually they post a "recovery" update in 24 hours but it looks like they literally cannot even recover from a DDoS now. LOL

You are dealing with a community that defends the multi-yen company even if they were locked out of the game for 2 weeks out of a month.

While I quit WoW before Shadowlands. At least the WoW players have the decency to say they hate the game and dev decisions with a passion, but play cause theres nothing else / their community and friends are there.

SE is not a good company. This is a good MMO that is being held back because of PROBABLY japanese company traditions, oldschool devs and a lack of wanting to innovate and futureproof. Which is hella weird coming from FF-series creators. FF was all about innovation. They are tonedeaf enough to burn money by not releasing immediately on PC either. I get you want to be loyal to the JP fanbase who still play most games on consoles, but cmon. PC is the future.

It's not because "japanese company traditions". SQEX acts like other companies: they invest in things when there is a big chance to get more money back than they invested. And this is the reason why FF14 is what it is. They will only then improve FF14 when there is a chance to get more subs/players because of the improvement. If they see no chance for more money then they will do nothing.

And SQEX is also not always good when it comes to try new things. Forspoken failed badly.

This one isn't as funny :wilted_rose:
