PSN is down

[NinoL]

I can log in to Netflix but not FFXIV???? Whatever....patience is a virtue.....virtue is it's own reward....screw it...i'm pissed and it's not fair!!!

Every time Sony Corp. upsets anyone, they leave themselves open for attacks like DDoS, then PSN goes down. So why bother with Sony?
It's about time you guys moved to playing FFXIV on PC. With Sony out of the picture you just removed an extra layer of insecurity.
The only way you can't play FFXIV now is if SE get's DDoS. But then no one can play, not even console players.

In no way am I paying $1000 or more for something that can easily get a virus and lose all data I know pc is more powerful but I don't care. This is just one reason on why I prefer consols don't just tell people to jump on it for this reason SE and Sony just need to make it so pen being down doesn't interfere with FF XIV.
I mean for gods sakes wer paying 2 subscriptions for this don't let one interfere with another.

Two Subs? But you don't need gold to play FFXIV on PS4 >__>;

I still feel that we shouldn't need PSN to be up to play though. ;__;

[WHS]

I read an article that said Microsoft had next to zero security to prevent this ddos from happening and sony had just beefed up because of the earlier one this year already. Now Microsoft is restored 80 to 90 % of it's services while Sony still twiddles it's thumbs and leaves ps4 customers down. I read ps3 and psvita are back up and the problem seems to be with psn and ps4 atm. I don't expect much from SE tbh it's not really them to blame. It would be kinda nice if they extended the holiday event but with most of the event items otw to cash shop I don't see that happening either when they can just cash shop an item at a later date. I don't expect Sony to compensate either but I do in fact expect them to get their shit in gear. Sony is hurting on the money side of things which it shows.

Actually, you can play this. Been there, done that. The launcher just doesn't work. It needs to be rebuilt to not rely on PSN for the 3 seconds the launcher is used. Other than that, no PSN required.

YES the voice of reason SE Sony listen to this one fix it rework it.

you have some misinformation there if you think it's that simple to lose all data on the PC. not to mention for close to the same money you pay for the PS4 you could buy a comparable PC.
IF you get a PC you learn the ins and outs of protecting yourself and making restore discs. these are simple things to do so it really should be a non issue.

this is because Microsoft does learn from attacks. and of the 2 companies they have been attacked more/had their top products attacked more by hackers/script kiddies. this is why they will recover xblive faster
