"DDOS" for MONTHS on end with no resolution UNACCEPTABLE

[Raiya]

I swear some people have the temperament of a bomb in here some days.

If anyone is to blame it's the malicious wasters who are attacking the server connection in the first place.

Thing is, it's not our place as players to solve this issue.

This stuff happens since forever and people have been understanding for a VERY long time, however things took a turn to the worse recently and we're still getting the same "Recovery from XYZ" message from years ago giving the perception that not much is being done to solve it.

Say, current state becomes the new normal then we just have to accept this or too bad?

Nah, this isn't right.

Another lovely attack to people mainly of crystal it seems since synamis is fine
And for a game that was asking why players are leaving this is the main reason or one of them the ddos aren't even being talked about minus for the copy paste message that is the same each time. What solution? That you guys don't know the first thing on what a ddos is or that you are a company that makes most it's money on said game and still can't make the game stable

So the attacks are rotating targets then? Because tons of people were being kicked off Maduin yesterday, myself included.

Hell, I had not one, but *two* wipes on NORMAL Bismarck yesterday because half the team DC'd, and when we tried again, the *other* half suddenly dropped. For me personally that had been my 3rd overall DC of the night, and I was up to 5 total by the time it finally stopped late into the night. I wouldn't be surprised to find out the rest of Dynamis wasn't having a fun time either, and now today Crystal is the new whipping boy.

Yeah I mean the other night it kicked my map party off marilith so it's rotating but it's like not all 3 centers at once it what I mean so it's just weird how they are doing this ddos

lodestone has a section specifically to report any ping or network issues via tracert and the IP address of FFXIV. So that's what I've been doing basically every day. Yes, I know it's most likely the NTT node (cause lul squeenix being cheap af like usual). It's listed all the way towards the bottom and a blue link that says FORM:

IP addresses for each of the physical data centers are as follows:
Japan: 119.252.37.58 (traceroute 119.252.37.58)
North America: 204.2.29.122 (traceroute 204.2.29.122)
Europe: 80.239.145.101 (traceroute 80.239.145.101)
Oceania: 153.254.80.65 (traceroute 153.254.80.65)

* The IP address of the European data center has been changed. (Updated on July 6, 2022)
* The IP address of the North America data center has been changed. (Updated on April 3, 2023)
* The IP address of the North Japanese data center has been changed. (Updated on January 15, 2024)

I trust this issue being fixed like I trust healing getting fixed. I don't.

I trust this issue being fixed like I trust healing getting fixed. I don't.

honestly, nobody does. XD

It is VERY likely, that it is not a DDOS attack. It is more likely, that SQEX's network equipment is vastly undersized and cannot handle the normal workload.
