DDoS

[Archeron]

It sounds like you're the type of person who is satisfied with spending all sorts of money and getting poor service in return. A joke really. But you go on and defend that billion dollar corporation. They've such innocent victims it's really a tragedy, someones got to think of the little guy with billions of dollars!

How can you possibly be satisfied PAYING $15USD a month. Thats a MONTHLY subscription, for a service that gets DDOS'd, disconnects you every 5 minutes at peak hours, making content like PoTD impossible. Making Savage/Ult raiding extremely irritating, and painful to clear.

Simple answer - I haven't experienced any of this. From what I'm hearing, it's mainly later hours on the west coast? So perhaps because I'm on the east coast and play earlier in the evening, I just haven't been online when any of this has occurred. So I'm not getting d/c'd at peak hours, I can do PotD just fine, I'm not interested in Savage/Ult raiding, etc.. Basically, if it weren't for the DDOS being mentioned on this forum, I wouldn't even know it exists. So, why am I not satisfied with my money again?

I don't care if the 8th umbral calamity is happening in Japan. I don't care if there is a zombie outbreak, and zombies are assaulting the server facilities. I'm paying for access to their game. If they cannot provide a stable service, we should not be expected to pay full price. Basic customer support.

Sad to say, but this kind of approach is just going to leave you frustrated and disappointed in life. Practically every "service" in existence that you sign up for includes clauses where you acknowledge that things can happen outside of the servicer's control and that you hold them harmless. And while I'm thinking (hoping) you're exaggerating, and if you're really at the point where you don't care how bad a disaster might actually be happening somewhere, all that matters is if you get to play a game...perhaps expanding one's worldview might be in order.

The brainrot required to defend SE on this is staggering honestly.

Just curious - did you just, like, hear this word somewhere and start throwing it around with little regard for anything? Because if there even is "brainrot" in this thread, I don't think it lies where you think it lies...

Sounds like people need to stop talking about "brainrot" and go back to school for lessons in critical thinking.

No, they are not responsible for anything and everything that could interrupt your connection to the service. SE is responsible for keeping their servers running and they've done that.

You are responsible for your connection to the service. SE has no control over how you choose to connect.

Fix your connection problem. Start with your ISP to see if they will route your connection around the trouble node. If they won't do that, you can use a VPN service to reroute it yourself.

Or you can keep complaining in the forums about this and get nowhere because there is nothing wrong with the game servers. This is your problem, not their problem.

just like people said they target servers themself not people because I never get disconnected at all I have the strongest connection and the highest service. there is only two ways for me to lose connection one DDoS and second is well power failure where I live I do understand why you think that but some people survive a DDoS attack It have happen to me a couple time and other I don't.

You cannot also blame only one person when they're is a full que of 600+ people trying to reconnect at the same time so even denying the fact there is DDoS attack and blaming it on players end is kinda low thinking.

SE isn't to blame completely but like I said we are paying customers still.

the ratio of DDoS before DT was around once or twice a year sometime more since DT it have been 5 a month sometime if not more so be mindful I do not say you are stupid but you might be the lucky one that doesn't get disconnected and on that curse you lucky person!


and VPN doesn't work all the time on DDoS attack sadly I always have it active and I still get booted if you blame my internet it just mean you lack the understanding.


your experience isn't everyone experience keep that in mind instead of blaming player thanks you for understanding that you aren't alone in this world if you answer me back be respectful and have proof for what you are saying next

If anyones going back to school for critical thinking, it is going to be you.

If it's not SE's problems, then they would not be "Implementing counter measures". If it were my problem, I would be having disconnecting, interuptions, and loss of service on the many other games I play. The fact is, I do not have those issues on any other game. The problem is Square Enixes, not mine. But do go on and defend a billion dollar company that has the resources to fix all the issues you self proclaimed "Experts" seem to know so much about. And when you disagree with me again, feel free to attack my free company and its members like you did last time.

wait he attacked your fc members ???? if thats true then wow great community nice person i guess. please tell me thats wrong

They got upset one of my FC members was also using the forums so decided to openly tell everyone to look into my FC and its lodestone on a housing thread and my FC got some very kind messages from people who disagreed with me LOL. I have a very low opinion of them as a result, I had to swap my displayed character on the forums and I'm not surprised they're white knighting for Square Enix, and I wouldn't be surprised if it happened again.

this logic is like, the car company installing an airbag because the driver crashing for whatever reason they doing were the company's problem.

No, it's not their problem, but they still trying to better the driver's safety whenever they got in problem.

yeah good guys of car companys they are do it just because not because the law is like that or it would sell well. you get the idea i guess

[Nero-Voidstails]

that's why the idea of free sub day wouldn't be a bad idea to get as like a sorry that we get them back to back

[Ayan_Calvesse]

They've been dealing with it since May.

Honestly is there any reason to suspect they are lying? Frankly I am surprised at the sheer length and persistence of these DDOS attempts; based on what is being seen on Netscout I think FFXIV is actually going into record breaking territory for DDOS attempts on a MMO.
