[Feedback] Data Center Travel Changes

No, you can actually see it get triggered when your character display isn't available and everything is ??? on the character login screen. This effect is turned on to help manage congestion and increase the ability to withstand DDoS by making the server exchange less data.

? I literally got the ??? on Dynamis a few hours ago and it's literally morning time. That doesn't sound like DDoS protection worthy.

? I literally got the ??? on Dynamis a few hours ago and it's literally morning time. That doesn't sound like DDoS protection worthy.

It happens when:

1. Lots of people are logging in at once.
2. When servers go up.
3. When there is a DDoS attack and you get disconnected as a result.
4. During an expansion or patch launch.

Regardless, it always happens when lots of people are logging in and it's intended to help manage the congestion. But in particular it's easy to notice when there's just been a DDoS attack and people are lagging.

Since this happened when lots of people where DC traveling it obviously triggered it.
