PSN is down

[Boss_Koivula]

Finally managed to relog back in to my PSN account after few days. I'm still unable to play FF XIV tho due to error code (NP-36147-1) that jumps on the screen when starting the game. Gonna try if anything else works.

EDIT: yup just tested few other online games and they work just fine. This is driving me crazy.

I'm getting the same error as you boss. =_= What's new on the PS4 main screen works but I also get the error when I try to access the store. It's barely even 7 am EST...

Edit: Nvm it seems like What's New loaded when I managed to momentarily connect to their servers. It's not loading again for me.

Same here my other games are fine. If my plants die I'm going to be pissed, SE should have designed some kind of switch they can activate when there are widespread, persistent access issues which place a hold on plants needing watering. It's not fair for me to lose several hundred thousand gi because I can't water stuff that I planted before this happened. The DDoS attacks might not be SE's fault, but the fact that crops which involve a lot of investment can easily die and cause the loss of those invested resources is 100% within SE's control.

Connected to PSN but can't connect to FFXIV.

comments like this reek of ignorance. stopping a DDOS isnt that simple.

Thing is, Sony has not been keeping anyone up to date on what is going on, and a good amount of time that the servers were down they were under maintenance by Sony! I am WELL aware of what a DDOS attack is, FF under went a few last month, the difference is they had their shit together and kept us up to date. The only bit of information that I have gotten from Sony is "The PlayStation Network is currently: Offline"

How helpful~

I don't know what you expect, they have came out and said we are working on it thanks for your patience, not even their fault, even Microsoft got hit and so did a few other places.

Sometimes damaging more than others, if you wanna blame anyone blame the person who did this whole mess not Sony.

Understand you wanna play the game, addiction can make people crazy.

If I had it on console, Id just go play something else or do something outside or watch movies.

Another little bit:

Update: PS4, PS3, and Vita network services are gradually coming back online - thanks for your patience

That was almost 6 hours ago. could also mean it will be down for the rest of the year

Yeah~ Microsoft servers went down for a few hours~ and they have been back up since. Regretting making fun of my brother for being a Microsoft fanboy now!

Believe me, I know its not their fault that its happened, but it is their fault that I need to log into PSN to play FF in the first place~ Or I guess I shouldn't have trusted them with my money since they can't seem to provide me with the service I pay for! Should have gone PC.

I'd very much love to see where they've been keeping people up to date, because I have not found it on any of their sites~ Even the support forums were down for a while!

The only reason I knew about the DDOS was because of IGN and news blogs! That should not be~
