How Secrets of the Atlas Launch Went

If your Systems department keeps telling you it's a DDOS attack when it only happens during high traffic Prime Time play hours and is immediately solved temporarily when most people are sleeping, it's time you find a new System administrator because they don't know what's happening. This is the same BS excuse Blizzard tries to use. It is what it is. I get it you have to say something. But it doesn't feel like a DDOS attack from the cheap seats.

DDOS attack seems to be some kind of lockpick-word to come clean off any server issues. I've seen so many companies in so many games use this, I just fail to believe this explanation anymore.

There are so many things more attractive to disrupt from some bad actors perspective than video game servers. Do you really want to sell me this idea, that every live service game that launches is experiencing some DDoS attacks? Come on, this is on the same level as DEI conspiracy theories.

Servers have been crap for a long time, especially EU. Affliction league was horrific but I gave that a pass, cos those abyssal spire loot fiestas were generating insane loads (99.999% of items dropped in there were never even considered to be picked up - another problem this game has, dropping way too much craptastic loot). Then Necro had similar issues and late Phercia too. Now this league with the worst issues to date.

The last two days I been getting some stuttering in game, not enough to stop me from playing, but it is annoying.

Does DDOS attacks cause this?

btw, west coast U.S. server.

I'm West Coast server and all has been well for me.. so idk..

was a rough start cost more maps than dropped but i do like the feel...

Got kicked out twice today from heavily invested maps while playing on Singapore server. The message said something like ' not logged in by the owner of the account'.

Thanks for finally making this top priority, all the other balancing and fixes are pointless when you can't play the game. Godspeed finding a solution!

Another disconnect

the disconnects wouldnt even be a real problem if the maps and drops didnt completely vanish additionally to them. i lost like 30 divines on disconnects already, with fragments, drops, scarabs or prep. That stuff really makes me wonder if its even worth playing the game anymore

And another...

Got a "server maintenance" message first time I tried to log back in, one sec later it was "back to normal".
