DDoS two hours after the patch goes live is ridiculous

Honeslty i don't do savages until a week or 2 later so i have more tiem to get better gear, and learn the fight from videos. But if imma be at risk of being ddos during the fight or even at last 5% causing an enrage. That is very annoying

The fact that the attacks got WORSE on savage release and even chased a team to OCE doesn't surprise me at all, but I was partly expecting them to keep as usual for the savage rekease just to make it seem like SE or NTT was the reason and not a malicious actor.

This is wild and really bad.

I was going to say, it could be ANYONE mad at Square-Enix for any number of reasons of which... um, it's kinda strange to admit they do have their enemies out there, and not even ones specifically tied to FF14.

Some hate the genre, or the entire franchise, or the whole company, or just Japanese people in general.

I don't think a lot of the people defending SE are really processing how horrifying it is that they still don't have it under control.

One may recall it wasn't that long ago that the stalker mod was running wild, or how some people thought they let Mare live "for too long". And then there was their "rapid response" to issues with Cosmic Exploration and Forked Tower at launch.

Square-Enix is definitely not great in a crisis, and we all know how timely they can be when it comes to fixing their own screw-ups (seven years for Viera and Hrothgar hats, SEVEN YEARS). I think what we're seeing here is someone exploiting their greatest weakness; Their reaction time.

Which is morbidly hilarious that the game that expects us all to know when the floor is going to kill us is themselves playing Savage mode death DDR in real life.

Yeah, I'm done with this. Not renewing my sub when it comes due next. I've had enough.

Square needs to communicate, and more importantly, fix it.

I don't really care about the who or why, nor is it our job. There's really no excuse.

It's time to send a message using our wallets.

Just got DCed with M9S at 3%...

DDoS'd during an Iron Noose fishing window. Nice.

I was reading this thread on the side while waiting for a queue, and then it crashes on me. We're back in the building again...

They'd better be giving some free game time and figuring out who to replace this joke of an ISP with.

This is pathetic.
