DDoS two hours after the patch goes live is ridiculous

The amount of DDOS yesterday is ridiculous, you are one of the top MMO's you can afford to have better nodes for NA that don't get crapped on constantly, go ask WoW which ones they use while you copy their housing system.

If this happened at all on JP yoshi p would be out there in dogeza position apologizing but because it's NA who cares.

so do we pronounce it deedoss or dodoss or deedee-oh-ess?

This is a flat out lie. I just watched mostly everyone in New Gridania drop off the face of the world while I was crafting, and of course I managed to stay connected and lose my materials - again.

Pull your head out of your ass, SQEX. Seriously, you aren't some small indie company, so stop acting like it and implement some mitigation, and/or drop that pathetic excuse for a hosting provider and get someone who doesn't operate their NOC out of grandma's bathtub.

Not surprising. I think it's just become a joke at the NOC anymore with this problem, and this is just their way of saying, "Yawn, duly noted."

The savage tier that was actually delivered:

I strongly strongly recommend that every PC player downloads Cloudflare Warp, which is free. I don't understand the black magic it does, but it's basically routing your traffic through Cloudflare's network. I haven't been disconnected by a DDOS since I started using it.

How can we have faith they have setup countermeasures when the attacker, with the greatest of ease, proves that the countermeasures are irrelevant the very next day? Countless times at this point.

Because there are no countermeasures in place for NA, just JP.

At this point, I am stepping back from XIV until things get better. Hopefully they will get it fixed before fanfest in late April.

Sucks to be an American right now. This rarely happens on EU.
