Getting probable DDoS on PvP match: Instant disconnect

Asuming by the title of this topic, you might want to hear what has happened to me and 3 other friends while on a PvP match.
After 5 minutes and 34 seconds of gameplay, we were up by 80 points or so. In this exact moment, and by complete randomness, 3 of us got completely disconnected from the game (Neverwinter). The game just crashed, and we let ourselves know through party chat what happened. Now, the 2 other guys that got disconnected were able to go back to the match once they quitted and restarted Neverwinter, leaving me out completely from the group and the match.
Once they were back on the game, they luckily hanged in the PvP match. The important fact about all this is that once they were facing [Edited by mod, no naming and shaming please], and having him with very low hit points, their games crashed again. The relevant thing is that one of our teammates remembered to have [Name removed by moderator.] around us 3 when the disconnects happened, remembering aswell that it only happened when he was about to drop. He also alleges to know about DDoSing, being a victim of it before, and stating to be positively sure that it is [Name removed by moderator.] the one causing trouble to our connections during the PvP match. Here's a small clip from the game we had taken by 1 of the players inside the game. Keep in mind he trash talks at the end of the game aswell, probably mocking us from what had happened with the DDoS. Also, at the end of the video you can see the scoreboard with me hanging offline at the bottom (Thymur Frostnova).

We'd love to see Dev Support look into this, and figure out if it's just the game, or if it really was Karma.
[OP, please contact support to report this player, thank you]

Essentially there is too much data being transfered between players and the games failsafe removes the players whose connections 'cant keep up' to stop the game from lagging and possibly crashing.
Welcome to online gaming....
You guys were right so I decided to edit my response. Im not sure if the clerics ability was the thing that disconnected me or not. All I know is that in 3 separate rounds my whole party and I got disconnected. The last round we almost won until we all got dc'd again.. logged back in with a lose.
This is just a theory for what really happened. I'm concerned if there are so many DDoSers around Neverwinter. Wish dev support looks into this!
On the other hand, I apologize for violating certain rules while creating the topic. Wasn't aware that you couldn't put videos up, name others or any of the things the mod described while editing.
To DDoS someone you need their IP. So unless you partied up with the the guy your accusing, traded with him or actually sent him your IP then its not possible.
Neverwinter has dedicated servers, if this game actually had 'hosts' it might be possible but its really funny that your convinced that the game is packed with people who want to DDoS you when in reality you just need to stop using wireless internet or upgrade your speed.
I'm sure that someone kicked me - but how could he know that I was the cleric?
Did you cast Hallowed Ground by any chance? I bet you did in which case the person who kicked you out is the same person you see in a mirror. Feel free to take your anger out on him for not knowing about known bugs.
Ignorance , my favourite.
I never use hollow ground because the game freezes and then I have to restart. So if you can read and understand I was kicked I was disconnected - no freezing.
But you don't care, because YOU know it was a Bug......
Ask anyone here bud, if it wasnt you who cast it then either you had a bad connection, another cleric casting HG or a CW on your team casting the wrong daily.
And you may not care what I say and call it ignorance but the real ignorance is that unless you started a trade with someone on the other team, joined an Xbox party with them or physically mailed them your IP then it is 100% impossible for them to DDoS you.... To note DDoS stands for DIRECTED Denial of Service attack. Yes, that mean's they have to DIRECT it at you for them to be able to overload your network and without knowing your IP its a case of a 1 in 1b billion plus guess on who you are.
So yeah, nice times for showing your ignorance and sounding like a noob while your at it.
Just a side note: DDoS stands for Distributed Denial of Service.
xD .... And I feel silly now xD
The point still stands though, you can't DDoS someone without their IP.
DDoS'ing is NOT hacking, regardless of what anyone says it simply isnt. Your simply overloading someone's network with useless information and to do that you need to know where they are.
Being paranoid doesn't make it true. If you have even read the wiki of what you need to DDoS someone you'd reconsider - your not being DDoS'ed your just being hit with all the bugs that appeared after the mod 5 update.
Have you noticed that this whole crying DDoS didn't happen EVER before mod 5 was released? It's because in removing most of the partical effects they broke a few skills and created game breaking bugs.
You are not being DDoS'ed and Denial doesnt need to kick you out of the game to kick your HAMSTER.
Though if you feel I'm wrong I encourage you to go to the police and cry cyber terrorism. It's be funny when you get arrested for wasting police time
