SHB DDOS has begun

[RyuDragnier]

It has? I haven’t heard anything about it, and my connection to Aether has been fine.

Same with Primal, no issues, at least for me.

[Kurando]

Very few issues on Light either (Chaos' EU partner centre), although Odin head some problems the other day but wasn't a server wide thing. I mean if someone is going to DDOS, pick something that's going to get more attention like the NA or JP centres ...

Edit:. As I found this in another thread that might be useful for German residents, give it a look over.

Really?
Its nearly unplayable on Shiva sometimes... the worst was 20 sec of "Who knows what happened".
Its like that for a week for me now and its problay just getting worse with Shadowbringers...

On omega are delays, about 5-10 seconds randomly. Not often
Got disconnected once

Its the Whinecraft fanboys trying to get their refugees back.

Or, you know, the most sensible answer being RMT players being angry.

Damn it! Those frickin’ RMTs are at it again!

Probably some stupid script kiddies thinking they're leet hax or something. This gets old.

People that do stuff like this really should be put in prison and kept there for life. Throw them in a solitary confinement and throw the key away sort of thing.

So far I'm on my 9th disconnect in one day, I still can't log back in, every time I try to, I get immediately disconnected. We've had this problem last year for like 3 months as well. It's really f----- irritating I'm paying for a service that I can't use because SE is unwilling to pay for good servers and good protection against this type of thing.

I've seen multiple players with connection issues similar to what it was like playing on the PS3 with multiple disconnects throughout summer and holidays just today. And, it's like this every expansion and then they announce that they've discovered DDOs attacks and increased player traffic as a compound cause. The only thing they could do, besides ahat they've usually done, would probablybbe to just custom make servers and a broadband/fiber-optics that would be powerful enough Bankrupt SE and react to the stress without a sweat, and improve the net-code, which the later might be tricky with the spaghetti code

Seems to be a node that connects Central EU yet again. I live in Northern EU and I have 0 issues again, while I see bunch of people around me having issues.

Damn it! Those frickin’ RMTs are at it again!

Did you just change your hair color?
