Aether datacenter connectivity issues (July 3, 2017)

[kattzkitti]

Have been able to narrow it down to being an issue with the datacenter's physical area, or the servers themselves. Connectivity issues are happening for players all across the US and beyond.

Yup. Gilgamesh has been exploding.

Fine, hosed, fine, hosed, super hosed 90k, fine hosed.

[Ferrasper]

Dungeons have been awful with it. Feed your hamsters already!

Wouldn't be surprised if it was another DDOS, feels like it.

[DevilsDontFly]

Lodestone says it was a DDoS attack.

[Vasala]

It is not just Aether. Primal is also having a lot of issues tonight . Lag / disconnects both in dungeons and in the world.

[Doki]

"DDoS" isn't a DDoS when it's your own customers all trying to login at the same time.

[deadcrow]

They say it's a "DDoS Attack" but it's not, it may actually be a DDoS but no one is attacking them, they're just using that for a BS excuse for their poor infrastructure and lack of planning for the amount of players accessing the servers.

DDoS = Dynamic/Distrubuted Denial of Service.

[Zelcran]

Too bad people have been logging in all day long with no problems at all other than the small queues. Nothing like this, almost like it is an actual DDOS attack.
