Sure DDOS alright caused by those shards right on site starting to calculate and distribute prizes and abandoning all other work.
I wasn’t affected since I shielded out of Starfall a long time ago, and PVE stayed playable, but seriously devs:
If you insist on letting more events finish at the same time when we know that two already are giving the servers problems, then get some more hamsters. Or bigger hamsters. Or switch the hamsters out for cheetahs. Something. Anything.
It wasn’t just that events were ending, it also was that the servers were sending out rewards. My screen got hung up on a rewards announcement.
Well, same thing. If they didn’t end, there wouldn’t be rewards to send out.
Actually now that you mention it, the server didn’t get really bad until after it started handing out rewards
Same happened to me. I mean, once it finally connected again…reward came up…then disconnected again, etc
Yeah … and considering that they haven’t even pushed out the rewards from the last server issues …
The timing was rather, how you say, convenient. Oh well.
