>>725528743aren't the US servers the only ones that get ddos'd?
As for me? I'm xivving.
>>725528743there is no ddos the servers are just shit and maint was to fix whatever garbage issue existed.

Keep it cool, keep it xiv.
what's next for this dumb cat?
I would rather have the game EoS and these threads die entirely than let some Discord Lalafell posters have a place to post.
Remember when that Anon got banned calling out the Lalafell faggots and they found out these idiots are in bed with the moderators here
>>725530669use the hide post function
>>725530129SE bankruptcy
>>725530669What makes you think you have a choice?
>>725530721Nah I’m good at fishing these niggas out. Doing it long time. Good results.
>>725530798
>>725529782She deserved to die and I hope she burns in hell
>>725530748bro hopped in the second life thread and forget he still here bro paid real money for those tattoos and chest hair
>>725530640why are all moon cats genuinely retarded? is it something in the water?
>>725530854that's not very nicei could've saved her
>>725530913lack of sunlight does things to a nigga
>>725530920okay but what about that kids parents that got blown away, wasnt very nice for them
>>725528908>>725530568>>725530824and where does one find these mods
>>725531112There's lalafell mod site you have to ask someone on discord to get access to, very skeevy process and most of the good mods are outdated now. They fell off.The loli mods last I knew were on pixiv, but that guy jumps around a lot because xivvies have it out for him.
>>725529450SHE CUTEEEE
>>725531205Fuck off discord faggot
i have no hope for the game, yoshi p has done nothing to give me any
>>725531345You gonna cry?
I’ll give the game points for 7.3. That was one of the best patches in the game.
>>725531381Don’t try the banter, because it’ll mess you up. There are no jokes here. Everyone here knows what you guys do, and what’s on your hard drive.
I'm looking forward to getting the sweating emote from the mogtome event
>>725531471no way that's gonna be a real emote
>>725531471love how this game is just coomershit
>>725531553it isn't a coomer game, you would know that if you actually played itand no the modbeast community does not make it a coomer game either
>>725529450cat booba
>>725531612you're delusional lmao. even on normie servers you get the retards sitting im limsa with them advertising how they want erp
The game can’t go on for another 10 years. It needs a sequel or XVII. Look at pso2 and ffxi. They’re over, they’re just hanging around. All the online games from post-Fortnite 2018 are going to be hitting the same exact issues in a few years. Destiny 2 is already hitting it.
>>725531612>xiv>not a coomer game
>>725531458I have video games on my hard drive. Gonna cry?>>725531517It's been a real emote since 2018 lil gup.
>>725531651Read the post again
>>725531741NTA but it's not "by default" coomer game but it gets that badge thanks to mods, just like skyrim for example.
>>725531746Maybe you discord buddies will share a bit of info on you. Figure out who you are.
senas name is bryan btw
>>725531912I don't have discord buddies THOUGH.
>we need to nuke the game and start over because muh glam collection dresser
how do I gen bros
This isnt a comfy bread at all :(
>>725532232say the line 'doyyyy how would you fix xiv?'
>>725531517It already is, the mogtome event is for getting it with less grind than the usual source
>>725531715>pso2The company purposefully nuked the original to push the sequel. Then the director that fucked Episode 5 of the original was put in charge of the sequel.SEGA killed their own game. That situation has nothing comparable to FFXIV.>ffxiStill going pretty damn strong considering its age, anon.
Where the cute and funny femlalas/miqittens be at
>>725532323Is this femezen available for plapping?
>>725532101Yes you do.
>>725532289what?
>>725532492robbed
>>725528695i want to play as a lalafell child
>>725532323It is comparable to XIV though, cause they straight up killed their own game with this Wuk Lamat shit and DEI-tier MSQ writing.
Modbeast miqote women are made to be pumped up with whipped cream until they detonate
>>725532582They look the same as adults.
They're now firing FFXIV related personnel>Final Fantasy XIV Project Manager Mizuho Kondo is no longer working at Square Enix after 14 years with the company. >She was the key communicator for marketing, community, PR, & Japanese interpretation for the FF14 projects who answered to Western Leadership, John Heinecke.https://x.com/TheReunionVII/status/1988047695479763306In plain English one of her responsibilities was taking player feedback for FFXIV and giving it to Japan.
>>725532963no one gaf unc
>>725533013I do
>>725532963They’re slowly figuring out who fucked over the game. 7.0 was all part of Yoshodas plan. It was a counter insurgency to let them do what they wanted, and they all exposed themselves. Now they’re fired.
>>725533130lollmaoyou can't actually believe this
See what if mean /v/? Who do you think these posters really are >>725532582Why do they use various Discords
>>725533130>They’re slowly figuring out who fucked over the gameI do think there is some big cleaning of house going on considering she was relatively unknown and completely unknown to people like you and me but they still fired her because she was known to Japan and they probably saw her effectiveness in translating player feedback as null. Either way that's another one gone.
>>725532492What did you do in XIV in the past four months?
>>725530669It's a lalafell kind of game though if you think about it.
I have a theory as to why Krile's parents actually betrayed Preservation.>Milala all have Source Souls>Calyx found out about this midway through Endless experiments>Had a few Milala taken and harvested to see if it works>It does >Starts recruiting Milala into Preservation under the house of needing their expertise >A lot join Preservation >They go missing after certain intervals and they simply get listed as having succumbed to the Lighting Sickness >Krile's Parents join Preservation >They are part of the Key research team>Krile's mother fall pregnant >Krile is born with exceptionally dense aether because of the Echo>Calyx takes interest >Krile's parents accidentally find out what's been happening >They steal the Key and take Krile to the Source before returning and forming OblivionThis theory is compounded by how it says that the Milala were completely integrated into Alexandria society, yet there aren't many at Solution 9 and yet there was a ton in not-Twilight Town before the shutdown.
>>725533130>They’re slowly figuring out who fucked over the gameIt's no secret buddy. His name is Yoshi P. He took a decent-sized check from Sweet Baby Inc to allow the game to be raped. He laughed at the fans that tried to get him to course correct after 7.0. And now Square Enix is going bankrupt as a result.Go woke go broke as they say. Also if you're still subbed to this game you're a literal mud golem.
>>725528856yeah EU has been fine
plogons?
>>725533454his correct name is 10 Yen Wine Yoshida
>>725532815Why did this faggot nuke his account and start over with a femra?
>there are paedo /xivg/ posters ittleave
How would (you) fix FFXIV?101th post get
>me and the bros when that Feast drip drops next month
I haven't played since the end of EndwalkerAre people now more optimistic about the future of the game since the wokies have been fired?
>>725533713>since the wokies have been fired?not confirmed, but im slightly hopeful that 7.5 will improve things and 8.0 will save itbut only slightly
>>725533454Wrong. They did it because they wanted to make XIV-II and didn’t get creative control. SE suits wanted him and team to continue work on XIV against their wishes, and Yoshida, who feels (and did by the way) he brought SE out of irrelevancy and bankruptcy, isn’t getting the recognition. So they made a point to the suits. That it’s either them in control, or suffer the consequences of happenings like Dawntrail.It’s all Japanese business politics.
I don’t mean to doom post, but I think MMOs are in a bad spot now because of how gamepass and psplus are starting to catch on. For the same cost, you’re either getting one game access vs hundreds. I know there’s only a handful of subscription based games anyway, but still.
why did they randomly add a painting to the ivalice alliance raids
>>725533630Let them keep posting. They’ll crack soon. They think they can fallback on “lol I don’t care”. We’ll see what happens when the laughs stop.
Honestly by this point 8.0 is either gonna be the final nail in the coffin or the hail mary the game needs. There is no in-between due to how shit DT was.
>>725533664is ts tuff in india?
>>725533713With each one being fired my optimism increases I'll say that. If Ishikawa is confirmed as back writing on the next expansion then I will go all in.
>>725528856It's not a DDoS. It's literally their servers failing because of poor maintenance. It's happening for the Oceanic servers as well.
>>725533803Retarded fanfiction. "Yoshi made the game suck on purpose, not due to gross negligence and incompetence!"Also Yoshi did get a chance to make XIV-2. That was XVI. It flopped. The japs hate it.
>>725533916becuase of the Tactics remake im guessing
>>725529410>And Krile is still passed out on WoL's couch after that third bottle of tequila
>>725534131and how does this affect your personally
>>725532101Do you have any buddies at all?
>>725534046ff16 was a real humiliation for him, huh>"nobody likes turn based games anymore">bg3 mogs ff16>metaphor mogs ff16>expedition 33 mogs ff16 so hard it literally mindbroke every square fanboyAt least he fired Kate, so there's that, Asmongold being useful and all. Now they have to replace the actual writer of Dawntrail.
>>725534131Yeah we know it's a ritual poster so what? There's literally nothing wrong with his posts.
>>725534251Other than a thread that desperately wants to distance from /vg/ traits every time it's brought up? Look at yourself type dude; you're not subtle in the slightest.
>>725533928Consequences will never be the same.
>>725534235We don't have any proof that Kate is fired. I won't be giving Square another dime until Kate is burned at the stake and Hiroi is honor killed onstage.
>>725534360>Look at yourself type dude;Learn English or go to a website where your native language is present.
>>725534402>Hiroi is honor killed onstageWould unironically subscribe again, out of respectToo fucking bad it will never happen.
>>725534089inb4 Alphinaud is creeping on her
>>725534498Put a semicolon and the guy scrambles for the bait. What'd you do in XIV this month?
>>725533615Did he? Found the twitter and it's still there albeit he's on hiatushttps://x.com/val_ffxiv
>>725528695>winterersI hate this word so much already. Did no one run this through the language department so they could let them know "Yes, that sounds fucking retarded. Pick a different word."
>>725535372you know its bad when the fucking coomers are taking a break from the game
>>725534016The DDOS attacks started on the 3rd. There's been multiple updates from SE about the situation. And if you knew anything about networks, you'd know SE can't just fix that. It's not THEM getting DDOSd. It's the people hosting the servers - which is a completely different company. Maintenance was never going to fix the DDOS attacks / disconnects. https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/news/detail/b9b5535dbe3415b12be37b71afd9a19e144ab560
>>725529179They also added some wall furnishing to the StB raids for some reason. That was sort of weird.
>>725535372who are the best ones?
>>725535491So SE just gives up and lets everything happens without attempting to mitigate it, just because "it's a different company". Even though no other popular multiplayer game has been this much impacted by ddos.I hope you never work in any kind of production. >Yeah it's normal we can't do shit about it just let it burn.
>>725535734>So SE just gives up and lets everything happens without attempting to mitigate it,Are you genuinely retarded? They'd have to shut the game down for months to move to a different host company. Not even getting into the issue of contracts. There is NOTHING they can do except ride the host company and the ISP to fix it. NOTHING.
>>725533130I fucking wishit was both malicious actors mainly from the western side and incompetence/complacence/hubris from the main dev team
>>725533394makes sense
>>725535491>They must be le telling the truth. They made a post about it!
>>725533534manual injection probably, it's not a major patch so stuff will probably work just fine
>>725535889This has been happening for years. They should have set up alternative infrastructure as a fallback years ago. Again, most other online games (and web businesses) don't have this issue because they can failover. SE chooses to just let the game go down in NA every time it gets DDOSed. That's their choice as a business and it probably makes sense for a subscription game with a (historically) loyal playerbase, but it IS a choice.
>>725535734its not the game thats crashing. its not any of square's property. it's the physical servers hosting the game. those servers belong to another company. and they're networked by yet a different company. and those servers are what's being attacked. square does not manage the software to mitigate attacks. that is the host's and isps job.when your internet goes out, no one tells you to replace your cat5 jack on your mb. you just sit there and wait with your thumb up your ass until AT&T reconnects you. maybe you call them and bitch a bit. that is an apt comparison to what square is doing. if you don't know anything about networking, just shut up.
>>725535734>>725535889aren't they still hosting their game servers on actual physical blade servers instead of renting some cloud infrastructure? at this rate ddos will never stop because its laughably how defenseless they are from it with their 90s tech
>>725536054There's only been 3 DDOS attack sprees against the game since its release. This is the 3rd. It's a rare occurrence and already mitigated well enough. Nothing is failsafe.
>>725536056To continue your analogy of personal internet going out - if you're a professional and that happens regularly to you in a way that affects your business, then you plan to swap ISPs or have multiple active connections that you can fall back on. You don't actually just sit twiddling your thumbs if it's a frequent problem.SE simply feels that DDOS attacks are not disruptive enough to be worth addressing.
>>725536136Do you think cloud storage is some magical intangible literal cloud? They're just remote server farms with physical drives like anywhere else.
>>725536209of course not, but its much easier mitigated when its a huge provider with gorillion ip ranges and proper cloudflare protection, instead we get some janky offbrand garage based 'data center' hosting 3 server racks with a single fibre line
>>725536195Why they can't simply swap to a different storage provider has already been addressed. And no games have fallback servers on disassociated nodes. That's completely impractical and impossible to sync live. You can make backups for a file you save every 5 minutes, but the game's storage is updated several times per second. For every single player. You can't just keep a live backup of that. If you had a remote back-up, it would have be sync'd every hour. So now you have the option of paying twice your networking costs and rolling back player progress by an hour to mitigate a crash, or just letting it happen and not lose any progress. I'd rather it just crash.
>>725536289NTT America is one of the best. Literally ranked as one of the top 3 in the world. It's not some 3rd world warehouse run by pajeets.
>>725536056So you're just ignoring contingency plans, or other things like contracts and SLAs?It's like a natural phenomenon? Let it happen?YOU should shut up and stop trying to defend SE's passiveness.
>>725533130him trying to placate mod beast instead of telling them to fuck off doesn't instill much hope in me
>>725536674he knows they pay for subs, telling customers to fuck off is a bad way to run a bussiness
>>725535703I dunno, I just like this cat and want to see her blimped until she goes nuclear
>>725536513You just don't know what you're talking about. You think it's all magic and simply dropping the game's DB onto a USB MyBook drive will fix everything. Stop talking. I don't have time to run a network engineering course over 4chan this morning. Suffice to say you simply don't understand the logistics of what you're suggesting and why it's impossible. No other MMOs do that, either.
>>725536719letting customers come in your store and shit all over the floor just makes more people not want to shop there
The people running the DDOS attacks are one of the RMT/bot companies that got banned in the last wave. They specialize is shit like this.
>random DDOS attacks making the game unplayable every expansion>24h maintenance every patch>4h maintenance to change a few database properties (e.g. unlocking savage raids)>cross-continent ping for east coast users is so bad that they have to install noclippy to be able to play the game as intended>unresponsive networked menus on every shop, every NPC, every housing interaction>enemy attack animations so out of sync with hitboxes that it's become an accepted game mechanic and players are actually surprised when they can't walk in the fireWhat a shambles.I hope one day MMOs revive as a genre and we get a good one that's built in a modern and technically competent way.
