Here is why I don't believe it's a DDOS attack.

GGG is already using that Cloudflare tickbox which is meant to be "DDoS prevention", so either it's barely working or GGG is lying about the issue.


Week 3 of the league. Constantly corrupt instances (use ctrl + click to make new one) everywhere. This is annoying af.

People on reddit have a lot of threads that explaining how it is not a ddos attack. If you don't believe me, you can always go there and check out the threads. Nobody believes it's ddos, yet here couple of people insisting on it's ddos. I don't know what you hope to get by white knighting them, I doubt they will send you free mtx.
What people on Reddit believe is irrelevant.


The answer is simple they just moved POE 1 servers to shitty inexpensive hosts because they are phasing the game out. Pretty simple yet shitty business tactic of making the previous user experience worse to move them to the new one.

I immediately thought about the same thing, I remember when Diablo 3 stopped being supported properly, they also started having problems because of moving to cheap servers. They are going to either close PoE 1 or just "support" it without any major updates, well, they still donate money, but it seems like they no longer have a goal to develop PoE 1.

PoE2 has the exact same issues.

On another hand I heard changing your DNS to Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) or Google (8.8.8.8) helps.

Of course it was not DDos. If they are flooded nobody could log in for hours but once there is a big lag and a crash you can log back in 20 seconds later... That is not how DDossing work.

POE2 servers are utter trash too.

Or maybe the DDoS only started when parties capable of doing so became interested in doing so?

I doubt GGG likes putting out the message

"Our servers are burning down and we can't fix it. No fixing it. Nothing on our end can be done. We have no way of stopping this problem. It will continue for the foreseeable future. Sorry."





But they can fix it and choose not to lmao. Do you people really think they pay for top tier hosting you're delusional.
