DDoS two hours after the patch goes live is ridiculous

[SkankyRoe]

Patch is barely released and it's already ddos o clock. And of course we'll get nothing but silence and a lodestone nothingburger as a response. I'm at the point where I'm genuinely wishing for ddos to occur during the upcoming WF race because maybe then something will be done about it.

Can we get the cloud servers back up for regular players and open up cross-region travel already.

Back in October we had DCs every 30 minutes for weeks, SE really need to do something to mitigate this, instead of one Lodestone post they never followed up on.

I have some good news and bad that SE won't care at all either even if it happens during the WR due to how controversial the last few have been in ffxiv and I don't blame them at all.

The M12 experience so far:
DC'd at 60%
401 person queue
DC'd at 83%
282 person queue

Pretty sure this epic song is not about the fight but the servers.

Honestly, this isnt Square Enix's fault. It's the fault of whatever person refuses to let others enjoy the things they pay for. They aren't hurting Square Enix (if that was their intent), they are hurting the players. But I digress, while Square Enix can mitigate it to some degree they can only do so much.

At this point it's difficult to believe that it's still DDOSing, more likely ancient server architecture that collapses under any load at all above normal.

Yep, absolutely ridiculous. Three different 90002 disconnects with huge log in queues all within a 45 minute time. Unplayable.

This is how I feel as well, especially after the last several months having such low player activity, and we were still having DDoS issues. I expect it a little bit on expansion/patch days, but it's been a problem for weeks.

Man I didn't even get to m12. I got stuck at M11 with the same crap. And let me tell you. When you're redoing m11 for the 4th time because of disconnects, LOOOOOOONG LIIIIIIIVE THE KIIIIIING get old so god damned fast.
Can't even do anything now. We vote disbanded and now I can't craft, can't do raid stuff, can't do OC because they closed it, can't even do msq because I'll just get 90002'd in the middle of a cutscene. Now bracing for them to just shut it all down to fix OC, so that's more downtime in the future. Jesus dude. I'm glad I just happened to have today off and am third shift so this is my normal waking time. Imagine people taking time off and screwing up their sleep to enjoy this, LOL. Couldn't be me. Never ever again dude.

How come it's only the NA servers getting DDoS'd? I mean if it's targetted at the game I think EU/JP might get some too right?

Note: I noticed during prime time I was experiencing lag/packet loss around primetime, seemed to lose packets whenever it reached uh.. whatever its called something 99.net, not everyone seemed to have lag issue but I've seen some people in NN complain.
