sorry i not understand the link between my question and you answer?^^"
As strange as this sounds I feel better. I have confidence CCP will square this away. I apologize for dog piling on CCP. They are victims of a criminal attack. It would be like if someone stole your friends car and then you yelled at your friend for not picking you up. The clock is off. My only suggestion is post a reward for exposure of the criminals. Somebody knows something. Fly safe.

Thatās funny, I canāt tell if youāre joking or not. If youāre talking in-game, Iāve never ratted in my life and usually sit under 100m isk at any given time, but if youāre talking irl, I only work part-time because Iām a student.
Jokes on you either way for assuming that Iām wealthy because Iām not a cheapskate.
No connection from Antalya. Tracing ends somewhere in ā¦ro. I understand it is not your fault but your statements are by far to late. I have no idea if our structures are out of fuel or even worst being under attack from the view who are able to login. I have no idea how you will solve this issue later on.

CCP has more than one game, there are Valkyrie, Sparc and Gunjack 1/2. Also, even IF CPP would only have on game to base their business on, why would they ātry to kill the gameā? If you want to get rid of a product, you just close it down, like CCP did with Dust 514 about two years ago.
And what ācolorpaletsā do you mean? A way for players to select some of the shipās hull colors themselves? Well, weāve got S.K.I.N.S., which you can buy relatively cheap in-game, or just play Project Discovery to get some quite nice-looking Exoplanet Hunter skins. Whatās missing though, not sure if thatās what youāve meant, is a way to apply corp/ally logos on ships. In Dark Age of Camelot you could put your guild logo on your cloak, which looked quite nice in PvP if everyone did that.
āIsssue:** In-game Chat Not Working Properly
Status: MONITORING
Comment: We made changes that should help restore the chat functionality. Please report any odd in-game channel behavior in this thread.ā
Thanks for the slap in the face! Are you joking or did you guys just take a 2 day vacation??? There have been numerous reports, ever since you supposedly fixed it ā¦ all over the forum that CHAT DOES NOT WORK for pretty much all of the US East Coast.
Amazingly enough my game play is just fine. I havenāt HAD CHATS FOR 3+ Days!!! CONSTANT - NOT INTERMITTENT! Port 5222 blah blah blah! WTH! How are these issues connected? I thought chat was completely separate from the gameā¦ and no its not on my end port quiz works just fine on 5222
none of chat channels is working for me. Getting used to this āCould not connect to chat server live.chat.eveonline.com:5222ā being MOTD in every single chat channel including local.
After DT comes mainly from the āpusherā. Be sure to click the āEnter the gameā button.
With constant periodicity, communication with server chats is lost and restored.
[12:33:39] EVE system> Lost connection to chat server
[12:33:41] EVE system> Reconnecting to the chat server
[12:37:37] EVE system> Lost connection to chat server
[12:37:39] EVE system> Reconnecting to the chat server
Who said that?
All iām saying is that they were not prepared to counter such an attack accordingly because of itā¦
And this is ,even if you donāt agree with the rest of my statement,something even you have to admitā¦
I am still definitely getting the exact same chat error when connecting more than half the time I log in, and also still have to connect using the button inside the screen that opens when the launcher opens the game and that fails to connect. No change in behavior so far here.
Hello,
also have the same problems described here. Last week, connection crashes again and again. COnnection closed on average every 20 minutes.
Since the weekend the chat is no longer working and get the message: Could not connect to chat server live.chat.eveonline.com:5222. Sometimes the chat goes again but there are differences between the local chat and the guest list in a station.
Thought it was my fault but after some tests (http://portquiz.net:5222/) I could not find any errors.
Greetings
Thorlin Murdoch
how can you be Monitoring the chat system. its screwed and has been all weekend. very amateurish response to the problem of DDOS attacks. not impressed at all.
Better late than never, I suppose.
@CCP_Dopamine It took you like 8 days to put a message in the launcher- This is bad.
The launcher should be your first point of contact with the players. My only issue with this ddos attack (outside of mild annoyance at not being able to play) Is that you have failed what should be your first step in communicating: Putting a message in the launcher. Without that first step a good chunk of the player base- especially the newbies, the credit card warriors, the filthy casuals and highsec solo players donāt know to regularly check the forums or the twitter. I found out on day one by an alliance update- and hearing itās broken second hand doesnāt impart nearly as much information as a launcher post with links to the forum updates or even a wiki page on ddos to educate what will turn into salty krabs could do.
I hate to think how many casuals or smaller groups have been left totally blind to the communication because you missed this essential step in the communication process.
I appreciate the work you guys are doing to resolve the issue, hopefully you make good progress over the next few days and we can all get back to enjoying our game play time and spaceship explosions. o7

Of all the things you can say about SKINS, cheap is not one of them.
worked for me yesterday not today tho ā¦East Coast Canada
FYI
Chat issues appear to have nothing to do with the ports. I have added the old and new addresses for the chat to my exceptions list and am still suffering the same problem.
In addition I have tested the port and they are allowing two way connections with no issues.
"Outgoing port tester
This server listens on all TCP ports, allowing you to test any outbound TCP port.
You have reached this page on port 5222.
Your network allows you to use this port. (Assuming that your network is not doing advanced traffic filtering.)

Furthermore as highlighted by others when sitting in a system with corp mates each of us is seeing different intel regarding the local chat. For example around 6/7pm GMT in Mista on 2/2/2020 two of us saw 9/10 people in local with 2 reds while a corp mate was seeing 56 in local with 15 reds.
The issue here is obviously that the DDoS lag may not cause the loss of a ship but rather the lack of intel available through local chat would cause major issues especially when flying expensive ships through space.
Please can someone keep us informed on the details behind the reimbursement policy, I have not undocked for a few days even in high-sec because I have lost faith in the intel being shown in local and am worried that if I loose my ship in that scenario CCP would not relace the loss.
Awesome, I love your clear message. In the meantime, structures are being destroyed without our prior notice or they are running out of fuel because we cannot log in. These connection problems are a shame for any experienced software engineer. Instead of shutting down the entire server to repair and restart it, connections are sometimes made, but only for a few players. The rest later see what has survived. This is Political Suicide CCP.
In your opinion
Bots are an ONGOING problem for EVERY game online
You know you can turn local off right?
Feel free to stop moaning about everything you feel like and being a bit more positive regarding the people working on this who are doubtless doing everything they can.
