  1. I've been very upset. I take care of my grandfather who has dementia so I have to budget properly. So when I buy a product I expect it to actually function. I decided to upgrade to the full version of the game 4 days ago and haven't been able to play once in that time! I asked SE if they'd be adding those lost days back to my sub time and they basically told me to eat s*** so I contacted PSN to try and refund and they basically told me the same thing. So now I'm out 60.00 and was treated like trash. It literally feels like SE just stole my money. 🤬 I realize it's not "completely" their fault but it's not my fault either! So why are we the customers the ones who are paying the price for this…

  2. Sonicrida: FFXIV is getting DDoS'ed like crazy, its unbearable!
    meanwhile me in Kujata Elemental DC (sipping tea quitely): hm say what now? i never noticed.
    in fact i dont remember a time i got dc'ed from the game for reasons other than inactivity since i came to the JP servers years ago.

    maybe, and i'm just guessing here, its probably because of the community backlash against a certain character in Dawntrail,
    so now the "consultant firm" (if you can call it that after their "burn the gaming industry" tirade very recently) is thirsting for
    vengeance right before they become bankrupt again for the nth time.

  3. I will say this years has had a lot more ddos attacks compared to the last 4 years i have been playing like since February their seems to be a ddos at least once a week and then the past 2 weeks loke at least 2 ddos's a day, so i would say its been worse then it has in the past

  4. I've been lucky I guess, because I've yet to be disconnected throughout all of this. Half the time, I have to ask an FC member if there's a DDoS attack occurring. That said, I did see it happening when running PotD with randoms for my ShB relic weapon

  5. Un no, it’s not something we have to get used too. Unless the game is free, we are entitled to play what we continue to pay for. Stop slumping Square Enix for refusing to upgrade & improve their servers.

  6. Is this on one specific platform or during certain activities only? I came back to FF14 about 2 weeks ago and play daily and have never gotten dc’d or kicked yet.

    EDIT – and just to clarify I’m no trying to be that jerk guy who’s like “durr this isn’t happening lol” I hate when people do that I totally believe you I’m just genuinely asking cuz I’m about to do another month sub and I won’t if this becomes widespread

  7. There are a lot of factors that play into this. Dawnfail and its lazy narrative and content was a big deal. The usual suspects still exist too. People unhappy about rules or philosphies they consider harmful ( i.e you really can't talk anymore or you get outnumbered and brigaded, even if its just an explanation of a mechanic, not worth typing and going to jail. Just as one example)
    I for one hope they shift their priorities after the negative reception. First time since pre meteor I am unsubbing for a while, if not forever.
    To some degree I feel empathy for the dosers, and understand why they are essentially protesting.

  8. The DDoS attacks are just the CoD and fortnite kids that are still mad that FFXIV beat their bad game multiple years in a row at the game awards. I'm sorry, but FFXIV is just the better game, cope, seathe, and stay in yur game, leave us alone.

  9. I question the validity of it actually being a DDoS. SE has had a history with issues like these where they say it is something, just for users to find out it is an if statement in their queue logic kicking people. This constant issue smells like an issue on their end. (Personally I am suspicious of data center travel.)

  10. I am wondering is it's ISP related those attacks since i am from south america i never had a problem on instance even today my static group doesnt have lag or feels the ddos happening, so that makes me believe they are attacking a certain node that EU/NA go throug since i only see people from NA and EU having this trouble
