Pissed as hell with the server instability!

I was so close to clearing solo on HOH, and then suddenly around 6AM EST the Byrnhildr Server starting have BULL**** ISSUES, and was DCing people left and right including myself!

I'M PISSED AS ALL HELL AS I'VE BEEN TRYING FOR WEEKS TO CLEAR HOH ONCE AND FOR ALL AND SUDDENLY I'M PUNISHED FOR IT! T The way structured POTD and HOH to give a KO upon logging off sure makes me feel good inside! NOT!

Damn it all! HOH Taunting me like this, and now the server is taunting me. HOLY ****.

Edit -

I apologize to the forum as I don't normally get like this, when you have been trying and analyzing HOH for so long, and this happens I'm gonna lose my mind over it, its just a slap in the face.

I wanted to vent on the forums to express my frustration to whoever works the servers because if these incidents have not been fixed from back in the beginning launch of Endwalker then what is going on?

Edit II -

I shouldn't get mad at Yoshi P for the server, but he and his team really need to rethink that penalty for POTD and HOH when is beyond the player's control.

Did you just do a "Not" insult in 2022?

Anyway I'm glad I wasn't the only one suffering from dc issues last night, I thought my Internet connection was being sloppy

You are suffering from a popular game syndrome.

All I know is...I can't wait till I get my room hooked up with an Internet cable. I had to rely on wifi connection all this time and getting sick and tired of the minor lag hiccups I experienced.

Learned my lesson, always make sure to play this game with wired Ethernet.

I read the main post in Ardbert's voice.

This is one of the reasons the KO-by-log-off structure for certain duties has always been incredibly stupid IMO.

I understand the frustration but it's still just a game. Hopefully you get your progress rebuilt quickly.

In the meantime on Mateus, we had been joking about Agrippa being left alone in Mor Dhona because there had been several other S rank spawns on the data center at the same time. Someone suggested we should leave him alone because if we tried to attack Agrippa the Mightier might appear to make something bad might happen. We laughed, attacked... and the servers crashed.

Agrippa the Mightier - 1
Crystal Hunters - 0

Likely wasn't the servers at all and one of the frequent instances of a major ISP network just doing what they do in the US and sucking.

Yep. 6am is a weird time for it to be server issues.

Complainin' about Server issues in an SE product? That's a paddlin'.

That sucks. I knew someone who had that happen to him, and he didn't log on afterwards for like 4 days. Fairly certain it wasn't his net too, since we all got the boot from XIV and the login queue was huge.
Anyway, at least you don't play on balmung. This thread would be full of people saying you deserved to be kicked for, uhh, *checks notes* playing on a popular server.

The net is more than just your direct connection to your isp. That's why if ATT or FIOS has an issue somewhere further down the line, it can effect people from other states, while people on other ISPs won't have issues connecting to the game.

Websites don't care about packet loss, and neither does video streaming (that's what buffering is for).

XIV only has 1 set of servers for each data center, and they are located in California. If your isp routes you through a faulty node, you can see lots of people on the same isp having DC issues, while others have none.


It really does amaze me in the current internet centric world how few people actually understand what's going on beyond "my internet works or doesn't"

Yeah dude, it's crazy that people would look at everyone else getting kicked, a massive queue to get back in, and "Everything else working fine" and think that the problem was with the one thing not working. Crazy how in this internet centric world, people would ignore the most obvious shit while troubleshooting.
I should've led with this, but square even announced that it was on their end: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...eac4f3c9b33e62

I'm talking about the OPs issue currently. There was no notice about issues with their world server.

The OP is on brynhildr and talking about 3am this morning. Not Balmung 2 weeks ago...


Yes the servers have issues. This was not one of those times

The first thing I do when one of these gets posted is look for a lodestone notification lol...

I've seen people complain about this when the server has had trouble before. But it is very rare.

Usually it's not the server having trouble, but a DDoS attack. I did experience some lag the other day that felt like one, but it's usually not SE's fault. SE could blame us for DDoS attacks but what they do is contact the ISP that was attacked and help them setup counter-measures and it usually prevents more attacks for months.

Dust yourself off, and get back in the saddle cowboy.

Or are you just not going to complete it now?

I kid you all not, I was on floor 98 on my way to be a new Lone Hero and then the server kicked me out!

WTF is this!

Edit -

OH LOOK THE SERVER CRASHED, 498 on a wait list! WTF

GOD THE ****ING TIMING, what are the ****ing ODDS.

This has been happening often on my end too. Something's up lately with their servers I think. I don't recall having this much issue

I feel so demoralized, idk I have it in me again.

waiting on shadowbringer alliance raid que....made it while waiting for almost an hr...5 minutes to run...boom!!!! kicked out! so frustrating.

update...400 + in que...multiple error 2002..haven't made it back in-game so far!

My guess is more DDoS, related to the account break in attempts. I was having no issues until yesterday, and only twice now. But its suspicious this started right as that announcement went out.

Unfortunate that it happens right as I try to login so I got lobby errored.

Took even longer to login because of the forced steam integration. If steam cant check the servers, then that's an extra layer of waiting.

while unlikely, they are gonna add Dynamis soon.
So their tinkering might be fn things up.

[noticed lag spikes in eureka the past weeks when there was none before. and someone else had been getting frequent dcs. but that's partially their end.]

while I personally haven't been on something important when the disconnects happened.[even though one nearly a month ago left our eurekan instance safe, and online] sucks for those Who Actually Were In Critical Content on the cusp of a Merit.

*server explosion noises*

Got the dreaded 90002 when booted, tried to log back in and got the dreaded 10105, then tried again and 700+ queue.

Not sure if I should go try that avocado bread recipe now.

From yesterday. Oops?

After getting booted I AM 600 IN THE QUE

Yeah, this is a problem. Sadly, Square Enix has been doing very poorly according to their quarterly earnings. Their revenue is way down and it kind of explains why they're delaying 7.0 and giving us a punt on Criterion. Well, at least our sub fee is cheaper than Game Pass. Just can't expect much from small indie devs these days.

Makes it Funnier<if you can see it like that for a moment> it happened, and soon after(or around the time) they spoke about the new servers in the LL<with chat bringing up what their queue pos was>

DDOS and the account hacking are probably related.

lmao log off and get some food y'all.

This is only a problem for US servers... cause only US people are so crazy to spend their free time trying to DDOS an MMO... like they have no better shit to do and they are bored as fuck.

I would simply stabilize myself

Ever since 6.2, I've been getting random DCs more often in general.

I can't help but wonder if the Island Sanctuary is putting more strain on the servers or something.

got disconnected a few times but it cleared up after a while.

I feel you. I always get disconnected after dancing all day long. It's annoying!
