DDoS Still Affecting Servers???

IDK what you are talking about? The servers aren't being DDoS'd?

Check your connection or use a VPN of some sort. WTFast offers a free trial too.

i have been experiencing lag for the past two weeks now ONLY in this game. lag which hasn't been occurring in any other game. there are a couple games i play on PC, none of which experience any lag. plus i only play FFXIV:ARR on the PS4, and can't afford the router from WTFast. (i don't even know if it has been released yet. or if they got the full amount desired in kickstarter. haven't been following.) it is also possible for me to play DC Universe Online with the PS4 and have zero lag. but yet the moment i log in to FFXIV:ARR lag quickly appears.

also, unless SE specifically states the DDoS attacks are no longer occurring... we must assume that they are still occurring.


EDIT : apparently the kickstarter project failed to receive enough funding. and it will be a long time before the router ever lands. so using WTFast on the PS4 isn't going to be possible for me. also i am actually a subscriber and use WTFast on the PC. one of the games i play is hosted out of Seoul, South Korea.

Not sure where to begin with this. I don't think you understand exactly what DDoS'ing is.

The issue is more than likely is your connection, and how it travels to the FFXIV server that you connect to. This topic has been stressed and talked about at great length on the forums.

I wasn't recommending their router at all. Hell, I wouldn't even buy it, although I think its an interesting product. They offer software that can improve your ping, and can vastly improve your connection to any game, including FFXIV. They offer a free trial, so why not try and see if it helps? I would say that if you tried it and set your connection to Toronto - if that does indeed help - then that is the issue (how your connection is traveling to the FFXIV server). Since I have been using it, I very rarely ever experience lag. If I log into the game without it, I can definitely tell I don't have it on - longer load times, market board lag, sometimes people just skate around or just stop moving altogether, random 90ks, 2012's...
