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

Nah. I play a variety of coop stuff with an rl friend, and we never have issues like these.

Then I really think GGG should at least try to explain to us why their servers have it worse than others.

10- People who say it's because of RMT; Why this issue never happened during Settler or previous nearby leagues or PoE 2 first launch at all? PoE 1 exist for years, and we all know RMT in this game exist for long time. PoE 2 being first launch ever, you don't need to know how rmt going to be crazy. Yet had no issue like this. I don't think someone targeting the servers because they want to prevent people to progress.

The exploit related to pause was found later than expected.

Bad luck, sure, but way too coincidental for me to not be pissed off about it.

that the problem with the human brain, its a pattern recognitition engine, the best there is, but the drawback is, you see pattern even if there are none. Especially in your case were there is only one datasample.

the rest ofg this thread? mostly the same, some instance creates a theoretical pattern with enough interpreation, but that that doesn't make it true.

Also:

Wierd that i played precia during DotH and never had these issues. doesn't seem to be tied to the whole poe2 vodoo does it? (which is currently dead anyway)

The amount of armchair devs and "network specialists" in this thread is absolutely wild. Don't forget to take the tinfoil hats off every now and then, it's summer.

If you guys are rollingback on US servers, you got infrastructure issues. Location of where the actual problem lies is anyone's guess, but it's between you and a server. We've had lag that's come and went, a few disconnects on extended hangs, but no rollbacks. "It's lag I've never experienced before on PoE." I had that thought and next day they come out saying DDOS. Makes sense to me.

Not sure what mean here but just to be clear: Rollback is a GGG/server side failure. It has (assuming functional server code) approximately nothing to do with the connection between GGG server and player/client.

I see the very real and indisputable pattern that GGG lies about poe repeatedly. My null hypothesis is quite reasonably, that GGG is lying again, and it is the responsibility of anyone claiming otherwise to provide the evidence that they are not.

Ah, the first strawman. We didn't talk about GGG talking about poe, we were talking about a drop that vanished. Your conjuncture may have sounded smart in your thoughts.

I notice a lot of "smart-stupid" people make fundamentally flawed assumptions which only apply in "spherical cows in a vacuum" world e.g. that what a company says is true, and burden of proof is on anyone claiming that it isn't.

Strawman#2: There is no burden of truth, they don't owe us shit. We don't owe them shit. You also build on your assumption from #1 to insult... well basically me. Cute, invokes memories of middle school.

In the real world, a company has a legal obligation to maximize profit for investors, as such if a lie is calculated (rightly or wrongly) as being less financially damaging than the truth, the company is, in a sense, legally obligated to lie. This is something we have seen repeatedly everywhere, but especially in the gaming industry, and almost non-stop from GGG with respect to PoE in recent times.

yes, and? See strawman#2. Is this suposed to be an argument to believe people in the thread with their "arguments"?
Also to your "investors": the big T sharevalues have nothing to do with performance and everything to do with a certain country ;)

The one solid fact is that GGG lie. The rest is speculation

hes right, ggg always look at themselves as gods, i mean everything they label is so smuck, like why do they name armour? instead of armor. this company will never take responsibility when they are at fault.

This has to be satire, right? Armour is the english writing and is used in all educated english speaking countries except one [Removed by Support]
