Getting 90k'd while PVP'ing on a Congested World...

Yea... I'm done. I'm beginning to wonder if all of this 90k stuff is actually a DDOS Attack or if it's just Square Enix trying to force people off the Congested World servers because this is getting ridiculous. I'm running at 100 down and 50 up, I shouldn't be having these issues. And then once I get 90k'd after 10am Central, I'll be stuck in the 3k+ login queue. Sighs... Seriously SE like WTF?!

Ya, I've been getting DCed at times on Balmung as well. The big issue at present on the server is all the people afk, refusing to log out. I understand why people are doing it, but its making matters much worse.

At this point I'm open to transferring, but I don't know where to go that will have a good sized community once all the expansion congestion is over. The last thing I want to do is transfer to a server that will be dead in 3 months.

Yep, happened to me. Wasn't even any lag or sign of an incoming D/C, just instantly I got hit with a 90k.

Girlfriend was in que for 3 hours waiting to get in, when she was at about 200 in que from 3000, she got a lobby error.

Last week when they released that statement, it could've been Ddos for that one day, but this is just SE having poop tier servers

Same, it was yesterday I think. I got suddenly dc'd during Frontlines. When I checked my WTFast, there were no ping spikes, no packet loss, no nothing. It was just sudden slap in the face.

Same here.
I get DC'd from PvP almost ALWAYS when I first log in to PvP, when I log back in I seem to be okay for a while.
Dc'd from the purple world instances 3 times now. [The quests purple mist things.]
Dc'd from touching an Aether Current in Azim Steppe. :/

I'm not transferring. I have a free company house and linkshells communities that I'm leading on there. Personally, I might be willing to transfer if it meant that I could transfer my free company with it, but at the same time... I rather be on a legacy server than one that isn't, but that's from personal preferences. If anything, I have an alt on Sargatanas that I play on and wait until login queue issue on the Balmung server dies down.

Honestly, despite all these issues that people are having with Balmung, I'm willing to fight this because if this is the service that Square Enix is presenting to us, my question to everyone is why are we supporting or rather STILL supporting this game in the first place?

I've been getting these since the server move and it's only been made worse with the insane queues with the surge of returning players and people exploiting the afk timer.

I honestly can overlook the queue times if the server was actually stable, but I'm spending way more time in queue than I am actually playing because there is no guarantee that I will be able to stay connected for as long as I plan. :(

Come over to Behemoth. We have a decent sized population but it isn't overcrowded. The last few days we have had a queue but its been small. Yesterday I was in a queue of 4 people at peak times and the day before it was a queue of 15. If you are interested you could even join my free company. We are always looking for new people.

Yea... I've been on Behemoth. It's always as dead as the other servers. Unless you have people that are roleplaying, the only cities that you'll find people are usually either Limsa Lominsa or any of the "endgame" areas like Mor Dhona or Idyllshire. Of course, once people finish a game, they're either in the endgame city or in the housing wards. You rarely ever see anyone anywhere. Though perhaps with all these server transfers, you might start seeing people in other places again...

unless im mistaken the instance servers have nothing to do with the world servers so i dont believe the connection problems from Duties has anything to do with Balmung or gilgemesh/etc at all, Sqaures servers are either still being attacked or they are just crappy servers

(i could be entirely wrong about this, its just what ive heard)

No, this is true, your character gets moved to an instance server when you enter an instance.

What you are describing is exactly what I don't want, and why I came to Balmung in the first place. Marboro would be busy every patch release, then dead the rest of the time. I guess I'll just have to ride this all out.

I'm streaming right now if any of you want to watch. Come and enjoy the excitement of queue for the Balmung server! I'm also taking song requests. Please post the YouTube link of the song you wish to listen to. Troll links or inappropriate songs will not be played. Happy hunting, safe adventuring and may the Raltz be with you all! :):D:cool:
