I see that you used words in that post. And to your credit, they are all spelled correctly.

But, dude! Itā€™s like you put them in a Yahtzee cup, gave them a good shake, and then wrote exactly what spilled out. It makes no sense whatsoever.

Have not been able to login any of my accounts from home all day. Made a ticket 8h ago and no response. Fix this crap cap.

Iā€™ve had issues with stability yesterday before and after DT however several hours later it all seemed to have cleared up and stopped getting socket closed

K, my 2 cents worth.

2 indentical machines, built at the same time for myself and my son, same OS same updates, we are both on the same router within feet of eachother, during the fight i DCā€™d at least 3 times while he didnā€™t.

both machines set to potatoe mode, even though they are pretty up to date machines, sabertooth z97 mark ii
16 GB of ram running the OS on SSD ( samsung EVO 860ā€™s << not cheap at all )

log in time was very delayed, yes eventually youā€™d get back in, but usually find a lack of inputs working or you got the dreaded emergency warp (system picking up you DCā€™d and itā€™s trying to warp ya ship to safety) even though you are seeing the grid and all seems to be loading ok the game thinks you are not logged in?

so how would a DDOS effect me and not him?

also i logged a few of my alts in without issue ( they where in other systems ) they logged in instantly.

sure looks like a node issue.

so how does a DDOS attack only effect one node?

Iā€™m in rural Australia running Eve off a 4G connection using a Telstra SIM. Itā€™s normally fast but for the last 6 or so hours Iā€™ve been unable to connect or stay connected for long. My failover is on the Optus network which is normally a lot slower but at least I can connect to the server.
Iā€™m guessing different IP blocks being used by the 2 ISPs are bing handled differently by CCPs DDoS ā€˜solutionā€™?

I use Siggy a lot too and itā€™s suffering so I imagine the problem, whatever it is, is widespread.

Has ccp recognized this issue yet? Getting increasingly frustrated.

I have a sneaky suspicion that CCP will treat this whole incident as counting as their ā€œlive eventā€ for the late summerā€¦

Noy yetā€¦

Submit a ticket and all they did was to ask for info (tracert & ping) more than 28 hours agoā€¦ like if they donā€™t know what is the problem.

Soā€¦ Since I lost my Gila in the Abyss to this ā€œDDoSā€ crap, I decided yesterday evening to go run some Data/Relic sites. I managed to stay connected for over 7 hours on two accounts without having any connection issues. Roughly 50 minutes before downtime I got the ā€œSocket Closedā€ pop-up and I was able to immediately re-connect without having to wait or do any other weird stuff like ā€œremove account and re-addā€. One thing I did differently while I was playing isā€¦ I had the ā€œHelp Channelā€ open. According to someone here on the forums, if you join the help channel you will maintain a constant connection and reduce the risk of experiencing ā€œSocket Closedā€.

Iā€™m now at over 36 hours without connection or communication from ccp, been locked out since dt saturday morning. Nothing as much as a ā€œhey weā€™re aware thereā€™s a problem, and weā€™ll get to itā€. Are you too busy with the AT to even look at our tickets?

Itā€™s not fair to ban ours IP just to protect the AT, I mean, what is the worst that could happen to CCP brand image if suddenly half of the players went offline during a brawl ?

ONCE AGAIN TRUE FOR THIS WEEK

also Iā€™m gonna leave that here: https://twitter.com/Doomchinchilla/status/1027290934801649664

Thank you for letting me log back in CCP. Really appreciate it. Should I expect the same amount of downtime next weekend?

You see that a lot account got unblocked at the same timeā€¦ right now i can log in alsoā€¦ letā€™s hope that this does not happen again the next week.

Hope all you want, I can pretty much guarantee it will happen again if thereā€™s something going on that CCP doesnā€™t want interrupted.
