What has been getting targeted is a node in the national internet infrastructure that a lot of the FFXIV traffic passes through depending on where the player lives. I live in CA. I'm not being affected at all. I have been able to play without disruption. My cousin's family lives in CO. Watching them connect and disconnect has felt like a game of Ping Pong at times because they are affected. A friend who lives in IL has also been affected but unlike my cousin's family, he has a VPN. He gets disconnected, he boots up his VPN and routes around the issue. He is then able to play without a problem.
SE cannot do anything against a DDOS attack that is occurring outside of their sphere of control and influence no matter how much you want to blame them. All they can do is notify the companies that operate the national internet infrastructure that traffic to their servers is being affected by an outside attack and let players know that they may have problems connecting to the game due to that attack. They can do nothing about the attack themselves because SE is not responsible for your internet connection. They are responsible for the game servers and the game servers are running just fine.
Complain to your ISP since you're paying them for your internet connection and you're not getting connected.Quote:

Which is a large part of the problem. The average consumer doesn't have a clue what's happening so they jump to conclusions about who is responsible for fixing things.Quote:

10-08-2024, 02:09 AMCatwhoSE can't fix the DDoS attacks directly because they aren't targeting their data center, which is in Sacramento CA. The DDoS has consistently targeted the large business ISP NTT, usually the San Jose node, but also previously a node in Arizona.Quote:

10-08-2024, 02:13 AMLarirawielIt depends. If they upgrade their 1 MBit network hubs to 10 GBit switches then they will be able to mitigate it. :)Quote:
