This is not a DDOS, Tell the truth SE.

What i find extremely funny that doesn't even make any sense is that if it was DDOS then using a vpn wouldnt help at all

Yes, it does, we've established this. The method of attack targets an NTT node and traffic not routed through that node doesn't get disconnected. We should probably clarify what we mean by "targeted" when we have targeting as in NA servers and targeting as in attack method.

I don't know why we're taking NTT's word as trustworthy over Squenix's, and I don't know why we're expecting NTT to be open about DDoS when random people are emailing them. When Squenix had internal issues they put it on Lodestone, "DDoS attacks on NA" is a shoddy cover story at best and ignores the fact that a) internal failures would be hitting EU/JP/OC as well and b) Squenix failing to implement proper cyber security measures looks just as bad as internal failures.

Square-Enix failing to implement proper cyber security features is unfortunately not new given how hard they bungled the mute/black list systems not even a year ago.

thats not even true......its a nod connected to the NA servers. It's an ISP problem.

A quick google search would of told you that.

do some research before you try to farm outrage.

At the end of the day, does it really matter to us if it's DDoS or if their servers can't handle the traffic? The only thing that really matters is that this needs to be fixed asap.

I'm not have this issue.

I play on PS5 from Brazil with no VPN.

Hope this information helps.

I'm not having this issue.

I play on PS5 from Brazil with no VPN in the NA server, Behemoth world.

Hope this information helps on finding out the true problem.

[AnnRam]

I haven't opened the game despite being subbed for the past month.

Every day I would get DC or the Balmung server crash in the middle of the Frontline. I couldn't even see the new FC map because the server crashed like 2 times in a row.

Sad.

I was waiting for my DDOS this weekend, played on NA all weekend and nothing happened. It's only when I of course switched back to my EU main and started crafting high end gear that I got randomly disconnected. And lost my materials. And had to buy more.

[RedLolly]

Yeah it seems to have eased up post savage. Guy's probably waiting on his next paycheck to start buying more DDOS traffic....

[Themarvin]

There's a reason folks call it "derangement". This isn't Reddit, guy. That "certain Orange guy" has nothing to do with our problems here.

Can you make a character and log in when you want on a none NA DC... you can start with trying that part.
