Do Something SE

[Basteala]

The fact NA has had this many server failures is inexcusable. DDOS, poor server architecture, terrible ISP. I don't care. And I think a lot of us are of the same mind.

Do something. Unless you want more people going over to WoW. They can actually keep their client running.

Really. Not very fun when you are in the middle of something.

We either have a major problem with someone attacking the game that cannot be answered, or the game may well have to be taken down for an extended period of time at some point for new server architecture.

It's probably one or the other.

Im okay with it being taken down for new server architecture. Maybe it needs to be taken to JP forums for this to be taken seriously, idek at this point. Been happening for more than 2 expanasions with very few grace periods.

I was just in a frontline where a mass dc happened. Adders seemed to surive in enough numbers but Maelstrom and Flames went down. I was able to get back in before final people logged from match to see score. When DC happened teams were like 500-600-700 respectively give or take. So not even, but not a blowout. When i returned it was 550-750ish (i think) and 1400 Adders. Like, sure possible they just ran away with it, but more likely they just had the more favorable numbers post mass dc. So...that's fun.

I got cut off today right when I was finishing that new seasonal quest where I had to serve all those annoying kids cocoa and then stand there while they emoted because SE decided not to make that part of their really uninteresting, poorly written, low effort seasonal quests skippable for some reason. Then when I got back on had to do it all over again from the beginning. I think that was the worst 90k yet lol

I can not think of a situation where a person would be justified in (or be able to justify) DDOSing a game for multiple straight years across several expansions, it is 100% server infrastructure issues and I'm willing to put money on that.

Unfortunately because of how SE seems to be structured, what with as little input as possible going into their cash cow game that funds every other dead on arrival game to come out of the publisher, I wouldn't expect any significant change until people stop paying for XIV.

Very true.

The ddos's have been happening for going on two months now. I already sent in a ticket to support demanding a refund of my subscription and time compensation for their issues. They said it was a <me> issue and couldn't help me with it. Still a ticket has to mean something especially if it's a complaint. I hope SE takes note of it and to everyone else I say unsubscribe and vote with your wallet. These devs only see us as meal tickets. We don't matter and these devs especially yoshi p can go shove it.

Stop assuming such an attack (if it is one) is by a reasonable party, or the goal is the permanent termination of service.

Maybe they finally got one of the RMT farms, and now they're trying to end it all for the rest of us.
