DDOS attack

I think for today at this point they need to just go into early matience. Even if they get everything working now there's only like... Less then 6 hours until the servers are going down anyway. (Unless they need to be running to learn about the attack)

Agreed! Take advantage of the situation. Game's semi-unplayable as is. Might as well take it down and do the maintenance now since it is affecting most DCs anyways.

Except it's about 4am in Japan right now and they're probably not going to wake up the team just to take advantage of it. Right now, the DDOS is probably be handled by their third-shift or 24-hour support team.

Heya,
Any eta on when these will calm down?
There's been constant lag the past few days and today it's simply unplayable since it reaches actual disconnects while in duties.

Let's just ask the ddos attackers what time they'll be done shall we?

i don't recall this happening at the end of previous expansions. Usually game is dead.
what gives lol

Probably just prepping for Dawntrail release to make sure the bullet lands.

Like a quick warm up before the sprint.

DDOS attacks are usually resolved by filtering out the traffic correctly from attackers before it reaches the servers. There are various appliances or software you can put in place before your servers that will analyze and filter traffic. Unfortunately, it can be a cat-and-mouse style situation where the analysis lags slightly behind the changing attack pattern of the DDOS. It makes it hard to predict how long it will take to resolve.

It's not a doss attack they are just preparing everyone for what dawnbringer is going to be like.
