Endgame content is currently impossible

Crafting is currently a joke to also do. Trying to craft HQ items, to only be disconnected from the server is aggravating at best, infuriating at worst because you know that NA server are frankly this game's red-headed stepchild.

They care enough to pay for JP server mitigation against DDoS but don't bother with NA, because why should they care about us suckers? This is now a DAILY problem, and SE chooses to run their company in this fashion, and approve of using an ISP running their NOC out of some third world sink hooked up to a braided telephone line and bathroom sink hooked up to a car battery for maximum reception.

It's really time they pulled their heads out of the clouds, and other more obvious places.

I strongly advise travelling to Ravana/OCE and doing your crafts..the ping is worse but not really noteworthy while crafting with your macros.

If your ISP fails to provide a service than they need to get rid of them and get a new one. Even if they have to take an L on the contract they make more than enough, heck most of the money goes to other projects so put a pause on that and eat the cost for new isp

If their contract with the ISP doesn't punish them severely for this level of instability, or count it as a breach and let them shop around for someone competent to handle their servers, then it's actually Square's problem.

The only reason why they'd be taking an L on a contract with this poor of performance from a vendor is if they had Harvey Birdman and Lionel Hutz for their legal team. Even if it's hard for Square to get out, the amount of damages they should be collecting from NTT should be enough to force NTT to fix their issues and stop the financial bleeding.

It is an NTT issue, which is a Japanese telecom company, AND a SQEX issue, because they aren't mitigating DDoS protection except in JP.

A for effort.

Square's chosen service provider for the NA servers is NTT, or Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation.

This is now a DAILY problem

Daily? It's fucking hourly.

Don't worry, they will find a way to not compensate for all ddos happening. Companies always do excuses or will toss some "you signed our aula / tos".

Raiders did move to OCE but apparently they were affected as well. Apparently, this was also an issue on OCE and not entirely localised within NA.

Since ddos was also showing up in OCE, this might point to the possibility that they were not attacking the nodes, rather where many of the notable players were located when savage dropped.
