The 3rd Expansion and still server, connection and queue problems

I really can't believe and this is happening once more. Square does not learn from their previous experiences with this kind of problems?

No matter how much they prepare for this, no matter the changes in Data Servers and reorganization of them, we still get problems and more problems with the coming of an expansion.

There are games as big as this and they do not have these sort of problems over and over. Please get better server service. Thank you.

You must not understand how DDOS works.

Not a server problem, it's a network problem. The only network under their control is their own. The current issue is with networks outside of their own.

In other words, Square Enix does not have control over the entire internet. Just chill, your video game will be back shortly.

I don't know about Aether, but here on Crystal it's been smooth sailing after Hour 0 of the EA. Very low queues, almost zero server issues save for these infrequent DDoS attempts. I was expecting Stormblood levels of issues, but Shadowbringers has been one of the smoothest launches I've seen for this game - heck, for an MMO in a long time.

That's like trying to blame your work for rush hour traffic.

They just confirmed it was a DDoS.

You must be new to gaming. This happens for every game at launch or expac time if they have any population at all. It's to be expected and frankly the servers have been incredible considering.

How provincial.

This has been much better than stormblood. Please do not be hard on the development team, it's obvious they've taken steps to improve and prevent things like players getting caught during Scenario instances. The current mass disconnection was a malicious attack and should not lay at the fault of the development team.

Preventative measures for DDOS attacks, to my knowledge, only go so far, though my knowledge on the subject is very limited.

Super smooth launch. Just amazing maybe you should have been around for Stormblood. This has been a breeze.

If you want to believe that. Or you are going to say that is just mere bad luck that with every expansion this happens and to NA servers. I don't see these sort of problems happening in EU or JP servers. High Traffic is another excuse because this had been happening also in the mornings since the Early access began.

Some of you need to gain some perspective.

Queues are not a problem. They are doing their job. Notice how there has been no issues once in game? No skill latency or random disconnects moving from zone to zone? That is a HUGE improvement to the stability of the game. The two major downtime issues lasted all of 10 minutes. Pay some respect because this is about as good as it gets.

So we have just established you don't know how DDoS works. Excellent.

Do we have to explain the Great Internet (Paraphrasing) Jerk Theory? The reason this doesn't happen to the Japanese or European servers is because no one is targeting them to cause trouble. SE literally cannot do a thing about this attack either because it wasn't on them, it was on the internet pathways they /use/ to transmit the servers. They're stuck until the trolls get bored.

Must be just a Sargatanas problem until today as I have had very low number ques on Midgardsormr. Though my server is also normally a low population server.

listen im the first to jump on square when they're doing something i dont like but this expansion has been the smoothest we've had. Ive been around since day one of a real reborn, the horrors I could tell lol

This time its ddos attacks and they can't do a lot about that.

Queues are annoying but I'll never complain about them. If the game has a queue that means a lot of people are playing your game, which means even more people to play with and new friends to make.

Plus it's not much they can do honestly.

Early Access was super smooth for me on Faerie. Queue was always under 30. Tonight however I logged in and the queue was 950

Is this explain why I'm in a queue 2500+?
