Well i hate all bots to the core, but this time i can understand people's feelings, i nearly killed my keyboard in rage over Cryptic management's utterly childish and bad AD decision draining the last bit of life and fun from the game. The ironically funny thing is, they always said, we have no man power, we are under pressure etc. , but when they need to make legit player hurting decisions, they suddenly have all the man power and time they need, i wish they were so fast to fix the Mod 6 errors, that drove away half the population, next half of the remaining with this AD HAMSTER.

why attack the game cause you don't like AD generation...
It was posted already that there is a group/person/skrpt kiddie that is "taking" responsibility for the attacks, so its not like its coming from a number of places at once but rather one script running derptard.

Word from STO is... he's at it again. But sharp eyed forumites may have identified his IP from the pics the idiot perp posted. Not to mention Twitter most likely has his IP as well.
I don't know who the Neverwinter Community Manager is and what their preferred ban tool is, but I think we need Trendy and her mighty Ban'leth, and Leek of Doom!
I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something CRAZY happens again?!

A DDOS attack is annoying and inconvenient to me, but you can't say Cryptic doesn't deserve it. One terrible decision abusing the player base after another. Someone with no scruples decided to do more than just ragequit. Or as Langston Hughes put it:
"What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore-- And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over-- like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?"
Totally inappropriate reference, I know, but it applies.

Sure it may be one person/group behind, but they probably have access to a decent size botnet.
Still it isn't impossible to mitigate...I think there may be infrastructure weaknesses @ Cryptic/PWI, they are basically at the attacker's mercy, all day. May also be a sign of lack of expertise to deal with DDOS.
Either way I'm here and can't take advantage of rest of x2 RP time

Its the weekend. The full crew is probably unavailable because they're off until Monday.
I agree that this needs to stop, but the problem is I'm not sure if they did call everyone in. A guy who plays Champions Online didn't know what was going on at all until he popped over into the STO forums, and we STO players have yet to hear from our own Community Manager LaughingTrendy or any Devs on the issue. We've only had some scattered updates from a PWE employee and that's it.

While I'm technically not a PWE employee, I am talking to the CM right now, and they are aware of the issue and working on it.
My opinions are my own.

That's good to hear. I kinda wish we over in the STO forums would get an update from our team as well. I've been lurking over here to compare notes and catch any updates that slip by.
mm I don't think they're supposed to call ''everyone'' in though. I assume they have a select set of technical engineers On-Call incase an issue such as this arose. Which I'm sure they've been on it all day since the attacks have been reoccurring for several hours. But by tomorrow morning I'm sure the entire staff will be aware of it entirely.

When you find yourself on the side of a lamer using DDOS attacks to make a statement, you may......I'm just spitballin here...you may be on the wrong side of an argument.

If it kills the game it kills the game
Why the attack?
"What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?"
