Thanks for the update, would appreciate more and more regularly. Just to report that we still cannot connect from South Africa. But if we use a VPN to the UK or Iceland, then we can login (the major line from Africa goes via Portugal). Chat is still broken when logged in, last there were 10 people in Jita.
not at all but I pay IRL cash for my alts and as I am currently not using them I wont resub them.
I am totally on side with CCP but would you rent a car IRL and park it in your garage?
I am playing through on my main running the agents to work up to Amar and Caldari Epic arcâs so once its more stable i can look to run them and also get back to running the Abyss.

Can see youâve switched from pointing to an ELB to AWS global accelerator.
For me, livechateveonlinecom is currently resolving to an AWS GA resource that points to two IP addresses.
One of those IP addresses is accepting connections from me on 5222, the other is not (filtered with packets being dropped - no syn/ack):

4 days, could not connect once. Seems like it is time to send an error message along your way when u guys try to connect to my wallet.

Continue to have issues connecting.
Network communication between your computer and the EVE Online server has been interrupted.
This may be caused by local internet connectivity issues, by a server reboot, or by a temporary network disruption between your location and the EVE Online data center.
If Iâm lucky enough to connect, I still have no chat of any kind.
Makes doing corp ops impossible.

i cant connect
This is my experience also from the UK.
If you guys want a temporary chat fix - edit your hosts file and add the following line:
76.223.92.61 live.chat.eveonline.com
Hosts file location: c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

Same boat i figured they are well aware that a vast majority of players are having issues with chat, inability to connect and random disconnects so i did not want to add to that list.
If CCP want us to though I will submit a report every time something happens (then again take yesterday id be spending more time writing tickets than playing as chat was up and down like a yo-yo yesterday, me and my buddy I was playing with showing 2 different sets of people in local.
For now im content to sit and run the low end stuff.
As for EC? I say scrap em or make em uber hard with guaranteed warp ins.

Gentlemen, Iâve been waiting for a week for compensation for my boat lost as a result of a game malfunction. Battleship with expensive equipment, for a second âŚ

Why is in-game chat messed up? What changes have you made to restore chat?
If all problems are related to the DDoS from last week, lag and connection issues should also have been addressed by now and changes to help restore functionality should have been made at the same time.
Give us transparency. Your inability to communicate does far more harm to the player base than the DDoS attack itself

I am sick of this. I have a carrier sitting in a station with dust on it from all this crap going on. We all demand compensation for this crap

Did you actually read the Devâs post ?? The problem is a continuous DDOS attack from some unknown third party, and absolutely sod-all to do with Bookmarks or any other recent enhancements.

I think a point of that is, maybe instead of doing what is seen as quality of life or fixing something that isnât broken, perhaps more time could have been spent looking in to having a response against something this wide spread and persistent instead of trying to figure it out after it starts.
Of course, Hindsight doesnât really help, either.
As far as reporting in goes, Unable to get past the âConnectâ trick that had been working up till yesterday afternoon. If the Game Client can load from the Launcher. North America, East Coast.
No chat here as well⌠I had it before todayâs downtime.
Also why does it have those Yes/No buttons? Can you agree or disagree with the connection issue?

A) They are under a persistent DDOS attack
B) Theyâve engaged with Amazon AWS and implemented AWS Shield to try and mitigate against the DDOS (my own findings).
DDOS attacks can be VERY difficult to mitigate. You essentially need to have a network pipe fat enough to handle the excess traffic + the usual traffic. Their servers probably also canât handle the additional connections and are being overloaded. I really feel sorry for them.
