Do Something SE

[Darkshade]

To add, this has really become embarrassing. This has been going on for years, PAY CLOUDFLARE, PAY WHOMEVER YOU HAVE TO PAY, FIRE WHOMEVER YOU'RE CURRENTLY USING, IT ISN'T WORKING, PLEASE AND THANK YOU.

The fact NA has had this many server failures is inexcusable. DDOS, poor server architecture, terrible ISP. I don't care. And I think a lot of us are of the same mind.

Do something. Unless you want more people going over to WoW. They can actually keep their client running.

I have been reconsidering subbing because I keep disconnecting every few hours along with my FC. I am really considering going back to Guild Wars 2. I have a lot to catch up there anyways. Only thing that holds me here is my house.

Are people forgetting SE isn't the only company that deals with this shit? Look at WoW earlier this year, where several guilds disbanded due to DDOS attacks. I starting to believe whatever groups or individuals are doing this are looking for reactions and we as a collective are feeding into it by making posts like this. Yes, it's obnoxious, yes it wastes everyone's time, but what are they supposed to do?

I'm seeing a lot of "SE do something!!!" And not a lot of clear cut answers. It's because there's not one! The best i'm hoping for is some sort of compensation (game time at the least) but i'm kind of getting more annoyed at the people constantly complaining about it than the actual attacks themselves.

The DDoS attack is on the network provider to the data center, NTT, and not the DC and servers themselves. SE can only do so much to mitigate this on their own, not apologizing for SE, just recognizing the situation.

Other connections to the DC do not appear to have issues, those are the ones used by gaming VPNs and the PSN. Those connections are probably a premium high priority network that is more expensive than the NTT network.

Can they switch providers? Probably but thy are most likely under contract with NTT so it will be painful to do so. The failure point is the NTT node, this is the latest research on the attacks. Hopefully SE can pressure NTT to fix that node.

If this continues into savage release (which, let's be real, it will) I'm just gonna unsub. I've been looking forward to this raid tier for months since my mom was in the hospital during the last one, but it's looking like it'll be unplayable. Sighs.

I want to say that whenever the world first race starts the issues will mysteriously disappear because they’ll be afraid it might begin affecting profit margins (somehow). But then I don’t watch world first race so maybe it already has went on during DDoS server issues and I just wasn’t aware. It would be pretty in-character for them at this stage though; ‘ignore the issue until the last possible minute then reveal we could’ve fixed it immediately’ lol

I think it's going to make them worse.

I hope all the NA world first racers have their best VPNs ready. Or are ready to endure Materia ping.

+1 to the team needing to work on this, multiple disconnects every day is getting very old, we're paying for a stable experience, not what we've been getting

They will do nothing until they see in mass a lot of people just unsubscribe if you do not own a house I highly encourage you to do so speak with your wallets it's the only thing they will listen and respond to anymore unfortunate but sadly true.
