PALACE OF THE DEAD

Hello, me and a group of 4 on dynamis golem were doing palace of the dead, Zwiebel Ritter, TheDevil Slayer, Yurippe Mahoxy, and Sunshine daydream, we were having a steady and smooth run, and ddos attacks started against the server and caused us to disconnect and loose our run on floor 115 you all need to figure something out and reset our progress to floor 110 or compensate us for our time and effort lost due to your lack of server protection

thats stinks was working on my new house

I sincerely hope they contacted you guys. Maybe consider putting in a report either ingame or on the technical support forum.

Oyr FC went on a week of getting everyone to that were interested up to floor 50 in POTD ( 4 nights of getting people through) and ddos / massive lag and disconnects galore, but we never all got wiped out at the same time, but it were every night. Every night, and the entire length of the runs. I don't come to the forums to complain much, i voiced concern and provided photographic evidence of issues with Dawntrail and various consultancy concerns (actual calls for terroristic threats, actual Marxist propaganda) and I actuall read SE's new approach for the entire company is to get rid of outside influence and they are no longer proudly boasting of that particular group's affiliation. Not saying MY posts helped in that regard, but it is and was obviously a large enough issue that they made a business statement about it.

But if that caused enough of a stir for them to change up the company, maybe enough complaints about connectivity issues will spur some repsonses.

i walked into forest today. i was aware of the several dozen angry bears around.

i got mauled by bear!

how could this have happened?

let's do this sentence in more accurate way :

Today like everyday i go in my SAFE garden, I love play in my garden, but I saw a bear, then better hide, till it pass, next day, i go again, the bear isn't here so i'm enjoying a bit, but OH 20min later the bear came back, then i go hide in my house hoping it wont be to long, 'cause i miss my garden, next day, our mayor FINALLY tell us there is a bear in the town, my god, i hope everyone is ok, and nobody get hurt, let's hope they'll do something fast.... 1week later, still the bear here, no news from the mayor, but i really wanna play in my garden, even if it's for 10minutes, i still can go hide in my house if it's not safe...

I think it's more accurate than just saying "we warned you, but you didn't listened"

Good morning fellow adventurers and thank you all for posting in the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

We apologize for any inconvenience that has occurred when playing Final Fantasy XIV. Unfortunately, the issue you are describing is something we are not able to assist with in the Technical Support Forums. I will be moving this thread to "General Discussion".

Hope to see you online!

You never had any hope on this, just saying. I tried to write a ticket not even to ask for anything but just to complain in general <<edit: about the constant server drops for that 2-week period, and to ask IF there would be compensation, not to demand it but just to find out info>>, and their reply was literally to start quoting the ToS defensively and aggressively

This implies they cared at one point.

In this case, I think it's less a matter of "caring" and more a matter of getting into nebulous territory between server drops vs. intentional d/c's. Server unstable? Perfect! Do a high-floor run, and if you screw up, everyone just cut your connection and d/c, then claim it was the server dropping you! See the issue?

it's a slippery slope and i unfortunately understand why it is the way it is. when the ddos was really bad last week, i was taking my friends up to 200 and we all got 90k'd on 197. it's just how it is. i'm a necromancer and i can't lie to you, if i could cheese a crappy floor by dropping my internet then i would. you could say i have no integrity for telling you this but it is the truth. now imagine how many others would do the same.

I lost 6 runs with DC so don't worry. All were high floors and extremely high hours wasted.
