Do Something SE

[bic12]

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.

Now people finally feel what it means for the game to be in soft maintenance mode lmao

They ain't pouring money into this they're working on their new projects

[NanaWiloh]

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.

Which will NEVER HAPPEN because people who play this game have NO SELF CONTROL or SENSE OF WORTH

Changing server infrastructure will not stop a DDOS.

DDOS is killing me....sloooooooooowly.

It has gotten to the point where I am terrified to craft anything. I am one of the major crafters for my FC (players and retainers) and I craft endgame gear for immediate family members as well (papa will you make me tank set and healer set). My eyes are glued to the screen waiting for the tell-tale sign of "suddenly everyone stops moving mobflash style" or my macro is suddenly erroring out.....

So....many.....mats.....lost. I am running roulettes to gain more tomestones as the Market prices are insane. Again - - watching for the moment in the Duty when I suddenly have an endless supply of heatblaster that does no damage and the party is in a "simon says FREEZE" moment.

I got to do the First 2 bosses in Mistwake TWICE before I could get all the way to the final boss.

It's like playing the game I love whilst stabbing myself in the eye with a pencil at the same time.

ON TOP OF ALL THAT.........players in queue 1,301.

It's not like this should surprise SE at all. "Okay team. The expansion is ready we deploy tomorrow! Great job all. this should roll without a hitch. The players will love all the new content. What could possibly go wrong? Tegakari Ganai-san you fixed that coffer thing in OC right? Okay everyone take the next week off - - I can't think of anything from previous patches that should be a problem do any of you?."

the fact that this is still a problem, when this has gone on for literally over a decade is an embarassment. I lose more respect for se every single damn day

[Oizen]

I feel like people need to band together tand make a big stink about this on social media to really rub SE's noses in it.
I don't trust this game's community to hold the devs accountable for anything but its the only way they'll do anything about it. SE is incredibly self conscious about their reputation so I think it would do a lot to make them look like shit to the masses.

[KyllaStargalla]

Second time today. Get popped off into a que of hundreds so obviously its not on our end. Fix this mess.

[OliverQ]

It bothers me even more that they refuse to acknowledge how bad this problem is. Whether they can fix it or not, there should be more transparency. At this point, I think they're trying to lose players.

[Hyperia]

I am getting the feeling, with the lack of any communication, that the Devs are not going to do anything until 8.0 as a part of their datacenter down time maintenance. Hopefully they will announce the cloud servers to permanently deal with this.

Or... this is a weird way of kicking people offline without having an AFK timer...

SE is a failing company and can't even make good JRPGs anymore (Atlus does it better at this point). This isn't disinterest. It's incompetence. They're literally incapable of solving this issue.

They would not be able to make something like Expedition 33 even if they poured 200M into it. There's a massive productivity lag at SE because of incompetent leadership and brain drain.

Regardless of whether this is a DDOS attack or not.

If I pay for a service, I expect to get that service. If unable to provide that service, I expect compensation. It's as simple as that.
