if you have a screen shot of him confirming a no reserve run and loot was given out to somebody who didn't win you should show it to a gm...the people in question should have their loot removed and/or be banned.

So they fixed the ddos by lowering the amount of people online to 5k? Wouldn't it have been a better move to lower the amount to 6500 considering thats much closer to the average amount of players? Also how does lowering the amount of people on a server prevent ddos? it sounds more like a hardware issue....i could, of course, be wrong....somebody with more computer tech savvy could probably shed some light on the subject....

yet another day where elysium isn't online....i'm going to only post here days it's off...and start counting how much uptime elysium has because this is getting silly.

oh cool i had no idea they responded in discord...never even thought to look there. Guess i just assumed their website would be where they posted things. thanks =)

Where is it at? Elysium has literally been offline every single day for the last 8 days straight....sometimes for hours and with little to no communication from the staff. I don't want this to turn into a flame post because i know some things are out of their control. Still....sure seems like this server gets "ddos" more than any other....is it REALLY ddos or just a problem with the server itself....at the very least we should have a prompt (30 min isn't unreasonable) response from somebody in the staff....otherwise it starts to give the impression nothing is being done. -§mort§-

had just finally found tank for brd run....then poof...all hope became shiteth upon by the gods of disconnect issues

My feelings are always the same...reserved runs are selfish and i would avoid them completely. If a guild needs pugs to finish their raid why shouldn't the pugs have an equal chance at gear as anyone else?

still no word about whats going on....

I feel as though there has to be something we can do as a community to make this occur less often. i personally call people out in chat when i see them spamming for a reserve run and have actually noticed an effect. More than once under enough pressure they cave and say no reserve...still it's no fun being the annoying person in chat pestering folks trying to get a run together. Still i feel like we as a playerbase get to decide what goes and what doesn't. Will it stop 100% of the runs from being reserve runs, no, but it may dampen the amount. Food for thought.

on elysium pvp it is literally 9 out of 10 runs....sucks.

weird...i wonder why the realm status page still says it's up and running

i couldn't disagree with this logic more. This is exactly the kind of mindset that i never understand. If the people running it are so amazing and geared shouldn't they be able to run it without taking less geared players? Bottom line if you require somebody in your run, regardless of their skill or gear, if that person is NEEDED to complete the run then they should have the same chance as anyone else to roll on gear. Furthermore the argument could be made that the less geared players need the loot more than the 90% bis players do. If you are 90% "pre raid" bis then you can already raid just fine. Again though...this is just my personal opinion. As for tanks reserving orbs to do runs i think it's also pretty selfish. I get why people do it, because tanks are hard to find but i still think it's lame that people need to get soecial rewards when the whole group is required to reach the objective. You can't finish a dungeon without a tank sure, but you can't do it without dps or healers either....just because tanks are more rare does not mean they are more vital.

realm status says it's up but i can't get in....anyone else?

Sort of missed the point but yes i am aware that forming my own groups would solve the problem for me personally, this post was more about the community as a whole but ty anyways for your reply.
