The recent DDoS attack on FFXIV servers.

[Vahlnir]

Probably about time to reroute the money earned from the Fantasia sales towards DDOS prevention upgrades :P

Nope, gotta fund that FF 7 remake instead. And maybe, just maybe, send some money KH's way.

Meanwhile chaos players sing:

Well. Sorry that you can not enter the game or get kicked. I can login after a few (3 or so trys) Also i wont get much lags at my 50k dsl.
The Net - server mostly is hosted in Poland.

Provider 1&1 Hoster:Vodafone.

I just had quitted for the last evening because of i found no one to play with.

Server: Loisoux.

OS -Version:Windows 10 Build 17763

My net is setted to chimney(trash datas are just going by without being loaded) and fast path if i remeber right.


ps.: Maybe SE can ask them for help. Since they can filter this traffic(MS or the providers)

maybe since their hoster cant handle this it would be better to change the hoster.

Well I was just going to resub tomorrow (after being gone a week) but I see this nonsense is still going on. I know this is pretty much out of SE's hands but I'm not really up for connectivity issues when I'm paying a sub fee every month.

The problems arent gamebreaking if you have got a good provider. But the others, which dont, are having got massive problems.

The strange thing: since this stuff is going on: my up to 5 seconds standard delays at skills /dmg at bosses etc. are gone.

The remake that'll never come out until our grandgrandgrandgrandchildren would be able to play it.

I'm not saying all funds should go to 14 but I hope Square isn't pulling away staff and funds from the game especially when it's the only thing doing well critically and financially alongside Octopath Traveler(15 only sold cuz it has the FF brand...otherwise that game was a disappointment)

I've been having trouble since I logged in today. Got severe lag multiple times and then 90k'd twice in the same dungeon. Logging back in took several attempts because even the lobby server was lagging to death. Its like early access all over again right now. Guess I won't be doing much leveling until it gets better.

The Data center I'm in(which isn't Chaos btw) only went down for a couple of hours after the DDoS attack and it went back in not too long after and I resumed playing just fine.

The problem seems to affect the Chaos data center the most.And while it is out of square's hands at the moment,they should investigate the problem asap as I'm sure they don't probably want players on the Chaos center to quit the game or overcrowd the servers on the other data centers by migrating

We have no proof that this happens.

[AppleJinx]

The poor little servers just exploded again smh. Guess I'll stop playing for the night.

[HyoMinPark]

Ayyyy, entire static just disconnected in v12s, and now we’re all waiting in queues to try and get back in.
