An Update on Recent Server Instability

Yeah atm it is DDoS, last time you said EU has awkward routing which causes the lag...
Would be nice to see any improvments but this is ongoing for years and isn't getting better, just worse. Shame.

dont think anyone still believes that at this point

Can we get an update? The game has been mostly unplayable all weekend. Today has been AWFUL.

California server unplayable tonight. It's been pretty up and down all league, but at least most of the time it's been playable with only minimal rubber-banding. I'd love to get information about who exactly is perpetrating the DDoS attack, and why.

Noone would ever believe your lies. EU servers getting DDOSed every league for 2+ weeks straight? While i can play Washington DC gate without single crash/dc despite having 150-200 ping and actually FARM and not waste resources battling your dumpster servers? Since this happens for 5+ years, its clear that you dont give a fuck about a problem, not even trying to fix it. Lets be honest here, its not DDOS, its your EU servers being garbage, for both poe 1 and poo2

Funny how the DDOS is always at the exact same times during peak hours... I'm starting to think your servers are doing it to themselves at this point... There is no way someone is this persistent every league start for years now and that there is no solution. And that it happens always during peak hours only until the player count drops off again. Bigger games would have suffered from this issue 100% yet I've never experienced it in any of them in decades.

It's a shame.. PoE is my favorite and pretty much only played game. If its really DDOS I hope you find a solution but I would definitely look into your servers as well.
