The 3rd Expansion and still server, connection and queue problems

[Ronyx]

I really can't believe and this is happening once more. Square does not learn from their previous experiences with this kind of problems?

No matter how much they prepare for this, no matter the changes in Data Servers and reorganization of them, we still get problems and more problems with the coming of an expansion.

There are games as big as this and they do not have these sort of problems over and over. Please get better server service. Thank you.

You must not understand how DDOS works.

Not a server problem, it's a network problem. The only network under their control is their own. The current issue is with networks outside of their own.

In other words, Square Enix does not have control over the entire internet. Just chill, your video game will be back shortly.

I don't know about Aether, but here on Crystal it's been smooth sailing after Hour 0 of the EA. Very low queues, almost zero server issues save for these infrequent DDoS attempts. I was expecting Stormblood levels of issues, but Shadowbringers has been one of the smoothest launches I've seen for this game - heck, for an MMO in a long time.

That's like trying to blame your work for rush hour traffic.

[Enla]

They just confirmed it was a DDoS.

You must be new to gaming. This happens for every game at launch or expac time if they have any population at all. It's to be expected and frankly the servers have been incredible considering.

How provincial.

This has been much better than stormblood. Please do not be hard on the development team, it's obvious they've taken steps to improve and prevent things like players getting caught during Scenario instances. The current mass disconnection was a malicious attack and should not lay at the fault of the development team.

Preventative measures for DDOS attacks, to my knowledge, only go so far, though my knowledge on the subject is very limited.

Super smooth launch. Just amazing maybe you should have been around for Stormblood. This has been a breeze.
