I was online for 6 hours running around old areas. Now I can't even stay connected for 8 seconds in the new city, and now I can't even connect to the data center. And when it "can't connect to data center" the whole app crashes and I have to re-open the whole game, enter my password and a one-time and all that garbage. Way to fail SE. Way to fail. Again. How has *this* specific problem not yet been fixed? It shouldn't crash to desktop...
I love their generic response though. "We weren't expecting such an influx of players to be playing during this time!"
Uh...……… you knew EXACTLY how many players pre-ordered, right? PLAN FOR THAT THEN. I mean how hard is it to add some more server space?

That guy needs to wake up and live in the real world, not everything is the companies fault. Sometimes people are dicks and the rest of us have to deal with them.
Kinda how we all have to live with OP right now as a matter of fact -

It's a confirmed DDOS attack, luv. SE is trying, but there's little to nothing that can be done about this. People are attacking the servers the game goes through, not SE itself. So all SE can do is try to work with the servers that the game is going through. Blame the people that think this is hilarious to do.

DDoS attacks. People trying to ruin others fun because they want to.
Pathetic. -

Just some unhappy ppl ruining it for everyone else happens all the time with new expansions.. just have to wait it out.

Nearly 12 hours of smooth operation in what has to be their best launch in the game's history but no let's go and start whining when the DDoS starts happening, it's not like this is a surprise to anyone who's been around MMO expansions during their first month or so.

Must be people upset that this game beat WoW.

its an MMO xpac launch... something no dev has been able to smoothly execute for some reason.

This happens every expac drop, without fail. Happened during Heavensward, happened during Stormblood, now it's happening during Shadowbringers. Gotta accept that no matter how well prepared a company is they can't do anything if jerks wanna attack the infrastructure they're using to deploy the servers. SE can't do anything if DDoS attacks go after Level 3 or any companies like it.

People need to chill out, seriously lol. Of all the online games I've played over the years, FFXIV has BY FAR the most stable servers. Many of their launches were very smooth, maybe a hiccup here and there (I don't remember Stormblood all that much, but I don't remember it being awful either tbh). Anyway, this isn't a server issue per se, nor is it SE's fault. Give it time and it'll get sorted out :3

SE tech: So many people are connecting, our servers HW is overheating and dumping people.
SE boss: Blame it on DDOS attack.
SE tech: You know I told you this would happen and could be solved by upgrading the Router to a octa-core ARM 72 running at 1.8 GHz...
SE boss: Why spend money this will solve itself in a few days. -
06-29-2019, 05:12 AMAmariel34Nothing can stop a DDOS attack unless the people doing it stop on their own. SE taking the game down for maintenance will not solve anything. The attacks will still be there when it comes back up.Quote:

Those ddos attacks on the servers are a whole new level of petty.

OP got real quiet and now even an apology to boot. Love how everyone knew what was happening and responded just as quickly on this thread.

06-29-2019, 06:10 AMSturmChurro
The OP said a very bad word last thread. They are lucky to not be banned, to be fair.
These DDOS attacks completely set back my friend and I's leveling. I have been up for about 26 hours and I just need to get 70 on my dancer so I can go to bed. :( -
