Hi folks, we had teams looking at this and investigating connection issues with PC NA. It looks like this was another attack by bad actors. We have turned on some preventative measures so we are seeing things settling down. However, this unfortunately will cause higher ping times. If you continue to have issues, please note it in this thread. We can take that info back to the team and investigate from there.

PSNA too.

You really ought to ban Nicolas Cage, then.

So I thought I would add this: Most of the DC had the "contact ZOS support" error or something about a valid internet connection, but when I was playing ToT, I got a server timed-out error every time.

I tried ToT because I thought it might work after everything I tried to do including just farming failed. I did find the different error message interesting.

I dunno if this is something we can get an answer to without ZOS getting themselves in hot water. But it would be interesting to know if the attacks are specifically targeting the ESO servers or rather the entire akami network.

https://www.akamaistatus.com/ looks like it was on the ZOS service side? (afaik the DDOS service used here is Prolexic)

Yeah, Akamai is back in the routing table which means they are/were getting DDOSed.
