I know there was a bad wave of DDoS attacks during Stormblood as well. But I can’t speak to how bad as I wasn’t around then. I’m on running on word of mouth from older players.
FFXIV will survive. There will be some who quit due to it, but wow, had similar issues in the past as well as most large MMOs. These types of attacks are inevitable and very hard to defend against.
just had our entire raid booted off Cloud of Darkness within the last 15% of her health. Server then crashed multiple times afterwards. Square has to figure something out. Im super patient but this has been all year almost at this point. I think WoWs expansion has something to do with these moves.
Nothing much I can add here but that I remember this happening last expansion (and probably several others before, it's been too long...) and all we as a playerbase could do was wait it out. A private server I'm part of got hit pretty badly with DDOS attacks a few months back and it took the development team a month or two before defenses had been fully hardened against the method they were using.
Private server of what?
@@CianaCorto City of Heroes.
They can’t do it forever because DDOS of this scale requires money
While I think it's mostly kids doing it, it could also be real competition, such as WoW ESO behind it.
I know what you're all thinking, nowaaay! but if things get bad enough? Surely these tuxedo guys will do anything? At this point it's probably just kids. Later point is still just kids but you never reallyt know.
I have a theory on why these attacks keep happening...
These attacks are most likely coming from people who have been banned from FFXIV, basically saying "If I'm not allowed to have fun, nobody can!"
They want this game to suffer for their amusement.
Again, this is only a theory. so take it with a grain of salt lol
Lionel?
I have never noticed an instance of my game being interrupted because of this?
You've never lagged out and then got disconnected with a 90k error? The most common cause of being disconnected is a DDoS.
I've been playing with a vpn for over a year and raaaaaaarely get any disconnection issues. Usually I'll see everyone else around me pokeball though lol
I would say they can't survive simply because I am reaching the point where I am going to end my sub, and I know others are reaching that same point of frustration. This is getting old.
While square isn't responsible for managing the attacks they are responsible for the consequences. If the servers square doesn't own keep getting attacked and people can't use their luxury product they pay for then people are going to unsub.
Watching this because of ddos 😭
Probably angries retaliating because se erased bad account
Personally, I don't have any problems. Maybe I'm on the wrong(or right) world tho.
I'd add;
6. *Political:* Since many outrage farmers and people making money on stirring up political aggression has started targeting games for content. Among these are FF14 (having been labeled that nebulous and non-defined term "woke")... This will have a stochastic-like effect in the end...
Though, I guess you could put this under #1.
Which makes no sense whatsoever considering ff games have always been about acceptance and embracing differences 🤦♀️ if people are getting mad they’ve never played ff games fr
@@cutejustice The "anti-woke" crowd have never been that all fond of embracing differences, as far as I've experienced it... So that might be one of the things they don't like, possibly? _/shrug_
Nah. The "anti-woke" crowd doesn't even play the game. They just laugh at it on twitter. It's more likely the people that hate Wuk Lamat because "she's naruto" or some stupid reason. They're way more vocal and actually play the game.
The theory I've heard is that SE has been giving some of the RMT vendors a particularly hard time, and said vendors are retaliating.
Although a North Korean troll farm is just as likely, too much money entering in Japan through this game. It also gives Japan soft power among their Western allies. Need to break the cool vibe.
I did comment earlier but its gone.
just saw this, thats odd, no delete on my end. RUclips doing its thing i guess.
