DDoS Attacks Confirmed

[Catwho]

I'm doubtful it was a DDoS, first and foremost before I transferred to EU to pass Cold Steel, I only experienced one log in que on Jenova, after that I had zero issues getting into any old content, had no latency issues, or anything that could have been impacted by the servers coming under attack, if a DDoS were happening it was the most weakest DDoS I've ever heard happening. Really this sounds like people trying to take credit for SEs lack of communication on their part as to how they were planning to address a built in bottleneck.

You weren't on last night when everyone on Primal data center was experiencing massive stretches of lag, but very few disconnects, for like an hour, before the servers finally collapsed. It was server wide and totally unrelated to anyone ISP - it was happening at the data center. That matches the effects of a DDoS pretty well.

Aside from Cold Steel, I didn't have that many issues either - on Sunday I was pretty stable. The servers tend to blow up around 10PM EST, which matches prime time hours for all time zones in NA, and if there's a DDoS going on on top of that, they just can't handle the total number of connections and fall over.
