What causes the server crashes?

I bet it's the group farm. I saw a video where they did a 6 man farm...How can this be part of a computer game? Just flickering screen, no gameplay, no decisions, just looting...

I bet this completely overtuned stuff is what causes theservers to crash ultimately. I might be wrong, but well it's gotta be something and it wouldn't hurt a single sane player to either go 2 mercs per party or reduce the max party number or lower the profitability of those group farms so fewer players do them, because something is clearly causing the servers to crash repeatedly in the evening EU time...

Starting with the elephant in the room, unfortunately primarily our European servers but also servers across the globe have been facing a barrage of DDOS attacks. We understand that this issue has ruined such an anticipated launch for many players. This is unacceptable service and we are deeply sorry. We want to assure you that we are taking this very seriously and it is the highest priority problem for our company to solve. Due to the nature of these attacks, we’re unable to provide a timeframe on when it will be resolved but we do want to acknowledge that we do see the issue and are doing everything we can to mitigate this.
I find it difficult to justify optional purchases to support a Tencent-owned development studio that declines to provide customers Technical Support, regardless of how many thousands of euros that customer has spent...
Ok, ty for posting that statement here
No worries.

Yea, I feel realy sorry for a SMALL startup gerage Company like TENSENT. I'm sure they don't have enough money to [Removed by Support] and some loyers to find and SUE THE SHIT out of any DDoS attacker.

PS: GGG is 100% owened by TENSENT

Clueless.
Obviously the DDOS "story" fits whenever its needed into their PR policy.

The servers were downgraded a couple months before settlers end, you could feel the lag and mini freezes with 6k daily logins. So hackers attack you on launch and leave you alone on Sunday ( guess they weren't working) to come back on Monday. Ok...

Even so we can still login, with generally fast queues, even if we delay a bit.

What's the most annoying issue and the strangest of the situation is the rollback. Sometimes they get up to 10mins.

I remembered people (in archnemesis and sentinel) in chat about rollback killing their mirror drop.We ve seen video this league of merc dropping 2 mirrors. Guess its possible for GGG to run the game with a cutter to stop potential loot hacking/ duping and every time loot drops, verify check into rollback

Hot take but for me it's the new game pause feature. I have a setup at my moms with garbo net and one at my place with great net. At the garbo net place I can't play solo it constantly pauses my game every other second wish I could just disable the pausing feature entirely. At my place with good net I have no problems at all.

I can still play at garbo net place but im forced to have to group where pause feature isn't enabled and sense I never really grouped I don't have tons of friends to group with and I only play like 2-3 hours a day like 3 days a week there. Second im alone in a zone in my party play I go straight back to constant pausing so I know it's the pausing issue 100%.

In short I think if they reworked the pause feature it would probably fix 1/2 the server issues for people with bad nets.
