To the DDoSers:

[Calteru]

You have greatly underestimated what I'm prepared to tolerate in order to play a really good game. Keep comin'. I've played games where the uptime is measured in minutes.

You want me to blame SE for this. To pressure them to do something. They've already done all they can; I'm not IT-ignorant. You might even do a post or two yourselves trying to fan a little dissent. Won't work.

Have fun with your little temper tantrum.

[Ghastly]

Yeah it's dumb I hope all the electricity they're using costs them a lot.

Final Day of v1.0 had less uptime and I tried for hours on end to log in just to experience it. This is nothing ^^

I don't necessarily blame SE for this, but the game is getting to be legit unplayable regardless. I'd like to meet this with a stiff upper lip, but frankly, I find myself playing or doring other things to avoid the aggravation. If my sub were up anytime soon, I'd probably let it lapse. Not to send a message or anything, but why pay for a product that's causing me frustration?

Then give up. Give in. Let the DDoSers force you off the game you like.

As much as I agree with the overall air of this thread, you're missing the point this is a game. If it causes people aggravation it's directly counterproductive to its intended purpose of providing enjoyable entertainment. Not to mention that as far as the DDoS is concerned this is not our war to fight. The win here is that people haven't mass unsubscribed, not that they fight this windmill by staying logged in.

The game isn't causing the issues. DDoSers are. And yeah, they made it your war to fight. You can fight, or you can quit. Good luck making your choice.

I've made mine. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got some Hildibrand stuff to finish. Loving it.

Good luck with clicking the character then waiting for five minutes for the dialogue box to load then disconnecting mid cutscene. Not my idea of fun but this isn't my place to kinkshame

Hilidbrand is the best! He does what only a Manderville man can!

It's more an attack on the ISPs and not xiv specifically, plus I doubt the people responsible even visit this site. It's inconvenient to be sure but there's only so much SE can do from their end sadly
