GGG you MUST improve server stability + performance before anything else

Sorry, but this is not a request or wish.
Its a MUST, or you loose 95% of all players now.

Since 0.2 servers are UTTER trash, and its getting worse and worse every day.
If you dont prioritize servers before content or anything else, NOBODY will be playing.


DO SOMETHING.

I JUST GOT A ROLL BACK ON MY TENTIRE MAP IN WITCH I DROPED A DIVINE HERE IS THE CLIP THIS GAME IS GARBAGE WHY

Watch from 29:30 to the end this is unbelivable

They don’t need to fix the servers because, for them, that’s just a financial loss. Most of us have already quit playing this game, not because of the servers, but because the developers treat player feedback like background noise in a crowded market.
For the past two weeks, we’ve been waiting for them to do something—anything! But instead, they’re proudly standing over this mess like a chef who just burned the kitchen down and still insists the dish is perfectly cooked. At this rate, the game isn’t dying; it’s being speedrun to oblivion.

as per recent interview the claim is that the European servers are being ddos'd an there is little that can be done about that.

they can do a lot, jsut they do not want to..
they can change game mechanics also , like you do not lose maps on DC etc..

thats completely bs. We need better server stability in EU, thats true. But ggg does do a great job improving the 0.2 that started very weak. Thats why i am continously supporting them.

I'm sorry but you're just completely wrong. You need to chill out a little bit and go touch some grass.

There's absolutely no way that their server team isn't working to improve things constantly. I don't think you have any understanding how complicated managing game servers for hundreds of thousands of players is not to mention if there are DDOS attacks.

Also you're just completely off base when you say most of the players have quit. Half of the players from the start of 0.2 are still playing and (apparently) 0.2 has had the best player retention compared to any patch for PoE 1.

I also haven't seen a single statement from GGG that the servers are fine and perfect and they aren't doing anything. They are constantly providing updates on things they are working on and fixing. I suspect they aren't talking about server stability on these updates because they don't have a perfect fix and any mention of working on this issue would be bombarded with hate comments about nothing being done.

Even if that is the case (which I don't really believe), the game servers are not publicly accessible, there must be firewall, login server etc which all protect the game servers from ddos. If they made all in one server then it's no wonder that they crash all the time.
Okay whatever, but they can make it to not loose everything on a crash, like periodically write server state somewhere to recover it from crash. I understand that it could be not as easy as it sounds but man it's 3rd week of this shit happening. And they should have originally built their architecture in such a way as to prevent such attacks and server crashes.

I've lost many of maps and loot for the last days, enough, the game is not ready at all.

It's very clear from this comment that you don't know what you're talking about.

Both of the things you said here are just plain wrong.

The game servers are definitely publicly accessible, how do you think hundreds of thousands of players are connected to them to play otherwise?

Firewalls also don't protect against DDoS attacks, they protect against malicious requests. Modern DDoS attacks mimic legitimate traffic so that the DDoS requests are indistinguishable from regular requests. They are also already paying for DDoS protection but there's only so much that any provider can do for that.

"It could be not(sic) as easy as it sounds" is a severe understatement. It's impossible to make something DDoS proof, you can only make things withstand DDoS attacks better.

I've also never had a rollback happen to me on PoE 2 (I play on the Amsterdam server) but that's exactly what you are describing here when you say "like periodically write server state somewhere to recover it from crash".

DDOSing.

while other gaming companies are not.
Ye, definetly.
