just like Blizzard... it happens, chill out, touch grass, whatever it is that you do

The servers are online and working. Not everyone is being disconnected at the same time. Some of the Crystal S rank spawners are turning it into a game to see how long it takes to kill our S ranks with the constant DCs but they are getting them killed (even if it takes 53 minutes after a spawn).

I'm fairly stable if I cross region travel to Materia. The disconnects are much less frequent there. Trying to remain online on Crystal is annoying.

I doubt they can change the maintenance schedule this late.

We have the option to not log in if the constant disconnects are bothering us. Most members in my FCs have decided to play other games today since I warned them about the problem in the FC Discords.

Raced home from work, hit the 4:40pm eastern Phallaina window... snagged one by a miracle... then 90k'd ... tried to log in, got in, 90k'd again... figured it was a ddos attack *sigh* ... just hope it's fixed by 7:00pm eastern because Siddy's hungry ...

I know this is just a Titanman thread, but I'll still bite and give a simple explanation. SE needs to have their network security engineers configure their firewall/IPS to drop the packets that are inbound from the sources of the DDOS attack. It's gonna be up to them to find a common signature of the DDOS packets so they can create a new firewall/IPS rule that can ID (true positive) and drop the packets, but at the same time they need to be careful as to not create a rule that drops legitimate inbound network traffic (false positive).

I'm not going to go further into the intricacies of it, so google and youtube will be your best tool for finding a more detailed explanation.

Amazon and Microsoft have been brought down by ddos attacks. No one is safe and anyone who thinks otherwise doesn't understand how internet infrastructure or ddos attacks work.

Does every thread on the English forums turn into a dumpster fire of people who don't know what they're talking about?

Yes, it's called the internet.

Does it help the Devs if we put the errors we're getting anywhere? Mine have included:
2002
90002
10105

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaany times.
