    Looks like its the same for all of Cryptic's games. NWO launcher has the same issue. Someone forgot to pay the bills again...

    It was me, I ran into Cryptic HQ and kicked over the server for lulz :3c
    Squishy DPS builds that can solo QWZ w/videos.
    My super cool CC build and how to use it.

    Spinny...you have got to get a better hobby than knocking over companies servers...even if its a server powered by 24 hamsters all chasing after pellets on strings. Think of the mess you made. Go to the corner! :P

    Found the problem.


  • lordwolfylordwolfy Posts: 140 Arc User
    Now where is that community manger who can tell the devs that their game is borked up. Do we even have a community manager anymore?
  • ealford1985ealford1985 Posts: 3,582 Arc User
    I think.....think.....Lady Gad Fly is? Maybe?

  • lordwolfylordwolfy Posts: 140 Arc User
    Figures, CO cant keep anyone with them...you would think that someone would sit down and look at whats going on with this game.

    Anyway, back on topic. HEY!! Whoever is running CO and watching the servers...it seems we have a blackout.

    Hmm...NWO forums say that its because of a DDOS attack on the cryptic servers. Friend of mine just let me know about it.

    There was a slowdown indicative of a DDOS just before the crash, so it seems likely.

    Boy this attack MUST have been a doozy! Still down last time i checked. :C
  • codewar65codewar65 Posts: 134 Arc User
    Probably some NW script kiddy got butthurt because his lockbox didn't give him the trinket he wanted.
    I wish Cryptic would run their games on separate servers so this wouldn't take down the game trinity.
  • moira66moira66 Posts: 56 Arc User
    I have a sneaking suspicion i may know a few of the individuals involved in said attack. At least by there chat names. Pfft. Sad.

    Also guy folks keep referencing did this in the past. How do you know they served jailtime at all or were even caught. By sound of it last time was simple script being run which is what these things usually are. But most of time they are smokescreen for other illicit behavior.

    Or maybe they saying it happened because of their own server hardware frailities. One can assume if you never update such things they malfunction or worse.

    Yea I noticed that, if you check your friends list there is nothing there even offline friends, its like your on single player mode, my guess is the are not done yet, might be better to wait.
  • lordwolfylordwolfy Posts: 140 Arc User

    Im not sure whats going on here but people try really hard to be overly clever in the community, there is reading between the lines and there is reading between your lines. Im not saying that is the case but maybe it is.
