Funny how it always seems to be the people whose games are working who take their time to come into a forum thread that doesn’t concern them to call the rest of us idiots.
Forget the fact that there are hundreds of developers who run thousands of games online and manage to have infrastructure in place to mitigate DDoS attacks. Either this is one of the most prolific DDoS attacks in history or CCP’s infrastructure is woefully inadequate. Having a ■■■■ infrastructure is definitely something we have the right to get upset about. And seeing as how your game works, I couldn’t give a ■■■■ about your opinion to the contrary.
Problem for me isn’t always logging in, it is staying logged in and in control. How can I play with no visibility in Local, or if I get booted out of the Game every ten minutes or so. Some people, the lucky ones, I guess, think there are no problems because they can see 25,000 logged in, so can I at times, I am one of those 25,000, on and off, OFF more than ON. But I STILL can’t play the Game, because of Connectivity issues.
I thought this was a place to say what is happening, It annoys me that some people are content because they have no issues, to call those of us out for saying our piece.,
Huh, that’s sooo weird… cause I have been playing EVE over 9 years and yea this DID affect me the first 2,3 days it was going on… So, no, it wasn’t working for me then. I fixed it. And yea, anyone yelling, cursing, berating CCP because they are under ATTACK is an id1ot. That’s just yelling at the victim, and it makes anyone doing it look juvenile.
Really? You know personally of some magical DDoS Mitigation App that STOPS other people from sending millions of false pings, emails and connection requests?? And IF you know (cause you work there right?, in the EVE data center, and therefore you know all about their hardware, right?) that CCP’s infrastructure, which supports and runs the largest single shard game ever is “crap”… then please… leave… and you’ll never have to suffer through this woefully crap game ever again.
Glad you don’t care so very much that you just had to write a reply… LOL
For the a good number of days now I have had issues ranging from being unable to log in to dead chat.
Today I am back to being unable to login. This is really making me wonder why I am still playing esp after loosing a cov and implants due to being ganked. This occurred while chat was down. If chat had been up I would not have been ganked. Come on CCP get it together. Currently I am running the file verify because I got a file corruption msg. Maybe CCp should look into creating it’s own string of vpn’s?
Although I’ve had all the mentioned problems over the past days, yesterday and today have been good with just a minor connect problem on one account. Yesterday I had a connect problem for a brief moment and noticed chat went down for a short time but was back up quickly.
Other than those minor incidents, my accounts are now working well.
Thanks for your efforts at battling these ddos-ers. Keep up the good fight!!!
Having run a support team that was held to very tight SLAs, not providing updates in a timely fashion was just not a option or there would be fines to pay. Even providing an update that says, we will provide an update at x hour is an update as this will acknowledge that the we are on it and tracking to the issue.
@CCP_Dopamine
Thank you for the reply and the work on this issue. Having someone give an upate every now and then helps a great deal.
When you say a “subset” of people are having login issues and disconnects, I have four accounts and have only reported the issues on my main. I imagine that most people with alts are not opening tickets for every toon. So for every case you have logged, there are probably significantly more accounts that are also having issues.
Do we need to open tickets on each account that we own?
I am in USA Tennessee. I had limited to no ability to log in for the first 5 days. I have not been able to get past the launcher for 30 hours or so.
Thanks for the juvenile diatribe, not helpfull you know, just pisses people of more. Some of you Poor CCP’ers should grow up and realize that Eve Online is a business that exists because the players pay hard cash to play each month. And unlike many other online games CCP gouges you for the privilege of playing at every opportunity. with an exorbitant Monthly PLEX, Skins, “Value” Packs, Gambling, I happen to think the Game is worth the $ a month it costs because I enjoy playing it. However, just remember, if the enjoyment for players goes, and it has at the moment for many thousands of players, why would anyone pay the high prices CCP demands. Wouldn’t that mean the end of EVE.
