Anyone notice that this time and last time were to do with data center maintenance lol. It's gotta be intentional

I believe that while there is some DDoSing going on, it is also a convenient excuse for SE's own mishaps. That isssue we had right after the maintenance where people on the Chaos DC weren't able to log in only with some of our characters can't be caused by DDoS (even though support blamed it on DDoS anyway)

They did write a separate notice about that one tho.

Ah. Their reply to my ticket (that I had opened just in case the problem got overlooked, happened to me once on a smaller issue on their end that was affecting multiple players) was "its because of DDoS". Although I can't fully blame them for giving only a cursory look at tickets in these situations

Very likely the support staff was not aware of the real cause at the time. While CBU3 has a good track record of notifying about issues and why, the time it takes for that information to reach people still needs some work. Boilerplate text really shouldn't take that long to be sent out (they also appear on JP lodestone 15-30 minutes before other regions, which is the really frustrating part, because that sounds like they need to go through translation for no reason).

Oh wait, I just criticised SE, what's wrong with me? Didn't a certain catgirl here say I only defend them no matter what? /s

and with these ddos attacks said disconnects prevent me from leveling my alts jobs(or any roulette/instance/raid/whatever)
