2018/04/26 - Mass Disconnect Due To DDoS Attack

very true :slight_smile:

In case this event hasnā€™t illustrated it for you, the number quoted on the launcher is slightly delayed from reality. it shows people online for a minute or so after server downtime starts every morning and it often doesnā€™t starting showing people back on until a minute or two after the server comes back up. no surprise that during DDOS issues, itā€™s a bit laggy/delayed as well.

They will not give skill injectors for downtimesā€¦ that would really screw with the market in a direct wayā€¦ they will give unallocated skill points for all omegas affected. Now, if you really want to have injectors to sell, you can extract and then sell injectors, butā€¦ gonna make you work/pay for it.

But yes, weā€™re still waiting on any sort of SP reward from the March chat update week of hell outages, soā€¦ maybe CCP is waiting for EVEā€™s 15th birthday to reward us for our patience.

And speaking of patience, donā€™t bother un/re-installing your EVE, removing all your toons from your launcher, etcā€¦ this is not on the client end, guys, itā€™s clearly server-side or internet pipes-sideā€¦ all we can do is wait when we canā€™t connect, donā€™t freak out.

Lucky you bastard :smiley:

Maybe itā€™s because I didnā€™t even have the client open during all of this. Maybe it only affected players that were online at the time or had the client running.

Some of you fail to realize that CCP has no control over a DDoS attack. And giving away reward to people becasue some ******** with a botnet, or some slimy corp orchestrated this would be rewarding bad behavior. The best CCP can do is investigate and attempt to ban/prosecute any involved. CCP is in no way at fault, and no one needs skill points. I never even liked the idea of skill injectors to begin with, but thatā€™s just a personal opinion.

seem the DDoS Attack alter some data for some peoples but not for every body
thank to be a good example

why is it scrubby to ask for compensation for what you pay for and arenā€™t getting. Obviously overboard with the skill injector. Iā€™d be happy with my services pro rated for the day (or more who knows) that im going without service. Thatā€™s all. Sure CCP is working on getting it fixed and life will go on when that finally happens. But us Omegas who pay for AT LEAST one account each month deserve at the bare minimum 1 day of OMEGA time or how ever that relates to how CCP does things. Youā€™re not a dedicated CCP player just because youā€™re telling people to suck it up and deal with it and let them fix it. No. We all pay for a service. Itā€™s not working. Lets get it fixed and make right for these Omega accounts. Itā€™s called good customer service. Something iā€™ve seen all over the net that CCP is known forā€¦ but not lately i see.

Correct. They have no control over the attack. But good logs and information can help them configure their firewalls to block the attack.
