Any plans to address severe server issues?

[Kewitt]

SE just replaced there old super boss "Duty Finder" with "Lag Spikes" to keep our gear in check as "Duty Finder" hasn't been an issue in a while....

Also These lag spikes wiped my Rabanastre party 3 times today. Something that wasn't an issue when the servers where in Canada. I never saw so many people having issues.
Is SE getting a DDOS attack or just the data centre? Please address this.

It's been over 2 months that I've had these issues. My route to server, look at this awful mess! Ahahaha...

Oh, I see Riko_Futatabi posted his traceroute again. Yeah... That nycmny01 has been a problem for some time now...

If it was the router, I'd expect it would be fixed by now. It makes me wonder if the problem is an impairment on the physical medium across the Atlantic.

Is SE getting a DDOS attack or just the data centre?

SEs Data centers are the only ones that attack themselves.

(Lol sorry, just being dumb because I'm tired, so tired. Time for bed.)

From the various traceroutes I can find around the forums and with that NOC post we can fairly say that NTT is having trouble with DDOS attacks. The trouble with mitigating DDOS attacks is that they can be a moving target. You build an ACL to mitigate and the attacker changes tactics or moves to another IP block. Redundant links and multiple routes to the destination having trouble can help but again, the attacker might adjust. At least we know there is something that can explain some of trouble expressed in this thread. You can know for certain if you are affected by doing a traceroute when you are having trouble and seeing if you have high latency or lost packets at an NTT hop. I would imagine SE would like to get these DDOS issues cleared up and NTT would like to get these DDOS issues cleared up. It's bad for business when end users can't use the products and services for which they are paying.

Is everyone who posted trouble in this thread affected by these DDOS attacks? I don't know. No one in this thread has posted any network diagnostics with any evidence.

I hope your connection trouble clears up and you can get back to playing FFXIV and if you can provide a traceroute with any indication where your connection trouble is, some players who read these forums can help you make sense of it. I'm sure SE is watching this thread also.

And a couple of us got on the OP's ignore list for "not knowing what we are talking about and trolling" lol.

What do you know, ISP's having network issues.

To make it more clear, SE informed us that their ISP is having issues.

And yeah, people are getting on the OP's ignore list seems a little overboard. I think that player is just getting really frustrated with the game trouble and unfortunately some posters are taking the brunt of his frustration.
