S Ranks are apparently making Zone Servers crash

... at least here on Cerberus.

Happened three times in the past 90 minutes, that mid way through the fight, everyone including boss would just stand still for 2 minutes and then get kicked off with a 90000. Upon relogging, everyone would appear at the Aetheryte instead (not at the point where we fought the S Rank) and the boss is gone. No one got credit.

It seems that the whole Zone Server goes down, while the rest of the server stays online.

Anyone else?

Just happened in Siren, after Croak dies. 8:05 PM EST

It happened on Sargatanas about 30 minutes ago with Agrippa the Mighty.

On another note, some people went over cap for the week because of it. While the others received no credits.

Crashed the 2nd time 8:29 PM EST Bonnabacon something buffalo

Entire zone got rollback and we all lost credit.

Guess that's what happend to me yesterday, was in south shroud grinding ROG when suddenly 90000 and when I relogged I was at the Aetheryte. Guess there was a S rank in the area, unless something else can also cause this.

Just happened to me on Excalibur. S rank was called in Outer La Noscea and as soon as I zoned in I had lag. Everyone else had red flags above their heads too =/

Happened tonight on phoenix, S rank in MD spawned, weird thing is, saw in LS it had been pulled. Then our entire party who was in dungeon just hung there, unable to do anything.
Eventually we all got kicked off, came back to a really long login queue, got told alot got booted and all in MD did.

Just got 90000'd after coming out of a guildhest. Lampalugua (?) was responsible, I guess.

I can confirm this, I heard it Limsa while crafting.

And it happened again. 4th time tonight.

I hope the emergency maintenance will fix this.

The lesson here was your not suppose to do hunts anymore.... :P

I am sure the hotfix is for this as well as some other things...

One thing I would like to see for hunts is a slightly upped reward for kills, maybe not the levels it was pre 2.4 but gods not after 2.4 im fine with no poetics involved, but I think maybe doubling seals and soldiery to 40 each for A ranks would go along way to make hunts viable again to a degree.

Yep, happened on Ultros too.

Also, frontlines have been 90k'ing at the end of every match as well. Wtf is going? Hope they fix all this shite..

Well, if you have a lot of rogues concentrated in each of the mainstream leveling areas that r as big as the odin fate gathering....
And you also have an S rank with a bunch of ppl gathering too spamming all their abilities then ofc something bad could happen right?

Theyre angry no one is caring too much about hunts since patch so they're resorting to crashes to make us talk about them more, evil S ranks.
