just an update, as of 3:00pm est I am able to connect to northeast-01 again. No idea what changed

fyi, I wasn't able to connect to northeast-01 until after the last patch, when the servers were brought down for the new version. It is very odd, it feels like a networking issue at the hoster level, like it is stopping my connection on that port (aka like rate limiting). I have no idea if it is related or not, just an observation.

Hi Daniel,
