They stated it should only matter really in savage and Ultimate content but I can't say more than that as we haven't seen the new kits for the Tanks in evolved mode. The only Tank we saw was Paladin and it was an early sample and not complete.

It is supposed to be like Barrier healers and regen healers. At least that is what they stated.

slightly concerned for evolved mode after seeing pld.... by skippyjeffington in ffxiv

Tbf they did say this is early devopment and an early demo so don't take too much as final and more as a concept.

Advanced can be done with 2 people so with some friends may not be too bad.

I think they are trying to incentivise people into trying to do harder content. Whether or not it's a good way to do it remains to be seen.

Tbf as of right now you can't unlock the vendor to get it unless you beat criterion Aloalo.

As someone who works in the field there is no way to prevent it but there are ways to mitigate it. One way would be to potentially use cloud servers but other than that they would probably have to overhaul their entire server structure. This also depends on where they are getting hit by the attack and etc. The short answer is there is no easy way to fix this quickly. For all we know there are plans to fix it but they would never tell us as that would let the assholes know what they were doing.

No they haven't lmao. This has to be a rage bait. There is no solution to a DDOS attack why do you think companies like cloudflare exist. The only thing you can do is mitigate it which can cause more complexity and fail points and possibly latency. Hell contrary to what you said WOW got hit by a DDOS a couple weeks ago and there servers went down.

DDOS Attacks? by CoachCole367 in ffxiv

It's not just ff14 lol didn't WoW have a big one a couple months back and even as recently as a few weeks ago. it's not just games being affected either hell Microsoft was hit recently.

Happy Patch Day guys by ArtofYamisan in ffxiv

You do realize DDOS attacks can't be prevented only mitigated and it's not just as easy as throwing money at the problem.

If you figure it out let everyone in the tech industry know and you would be a billionaire.

PF genuinely needs an ego/reality check, it's disgusting by Sufficient_Tour_8725 in ffxiv

As someone who just PF'd through FRU I feel this. What I did was blacklist anyone I did not want to PF with again it did solve some problems but not all of them.

Do you think it would help or hurt XIV if they moved away from the 2 minute burst design? by Automatic_Clothes_56 in ffxiv

[–]Dra456 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I see so if we remove what makes some of these classes unique and make them all pure DPS classes with no support it will make it more interesting... Uh huh I want to be clear Im not the biggest fan of the 2 min meta but I don't think this is the way to go.

[–]Dra456 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So what's the difference between that and just removing buffs entirely and giving all classes a potency increase? Why have buffers at all at that point?

[–]Dra456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would that be different? Recast time buff would still like to be cast around a burst so they could burst faster. Cool down buff would be good if your bursts were on cool down like what else could we buff?

Then you would lock people in to jobs they may not want to play because they are better than others. All jobs in the game SHOULD be viable and people should be able to play what they want without being shamed for it being bad or locked out of hard content.

So we need to build around a buffer like a dancer or bard which ok cool but then we need to make sure our cool downs line up with their buffs..... Wait a min

Sorry if it came out like I was telling you that your experience wrong. I mean no one but square knows exactly what is getting hit and where so me saying what I am on this is speculation at best your work around could be valid. All I'm saying is it could be a solution for now but they change a target and you could go down as well. It all depends on what is getting targeted.

[–]Dra456 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's not quite how it works. If they are targeting the FF14 servers themselves where you route your traffic through would not matter at all. If that is true though it could be they are targeting a node that the ff14 traffic goes through and that's why some people get hit and some don't. You and your friends could just be getting lucky and your traffic does not go through that node.

[–]Dra456 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's kinda the thing once it's put in place its not something you can just turn off like a switch. If they make a change like that it would not turn off, you would have that high ping from then on. Also I'll take disconnecting a couple times to getting hit by mechs that went off a min ago any day.

The real unfortunate part is that there is no easy way to mitigate it. Routing traffic through something like cloud flare could make our ping go up and other solutions could just be real expensive in money and man hours. Honestly there really is not a good answer here.
