    I do not believe DDOS is real... It was invented as the Scapegoat so Cryptic could contuine to mess up, use old servers and script, and not take any blame. : ))

    It's a DDOS attack

    I find it vaguely humorous that you post about constant lag and game crashes in a thread about DDoS attacks causing said lag and crashes.
    I'm not looking for forgiveness, and I'm way past asking permission. Earth just lost her best defender, so we're here to fight. And if you want to stand in our way, we'll fight you too.

    Could one of the developers tell me how it feels to have 1 pimple-faced script kiddie keeps shuting down your game? I mean I would like to be angry but lets face it you guys can't stop it. He has proven you can't stop him. Hell you guys have proven you can't stop him! You guys should toss in the towel and hire professional hackers to deal with him!

    Though it is nice NWO whom he is attacking will not even acknowledge it is even a DDOS attack. Yet the other games affected on Cryptic freely admit that it is a DDOS attack. Left hand, Right hand syndrome!

    You guys could show him. You should kill the game before he does oh wait that's right Mod 9 will fix that! The way you gave every person hope about 4 more dungeons only to dash it on your stream live! That was absolute genius!

    /tinfoilhat on
    Or they actually just have gone so cheap on network equipment, that they have an standard "Hey we bought or Nethub from ebay" issue all the time, and the DDOS is just a myth ;)
    /tinfoil off

    Duh we will never know, the issue is more than a month on, and we just get sometimes "Yea looking on it"
    no feedback and no "Yea we fixed it" :)

    Our wizards are aware of the network issues and are investigating.

    Please get aggressive and take this twerp out. Slam him with a million-dollar lawsuit, send some people over with a pair of pliers and and a blowtorch, *something*.

    Never normally post, but I'm REALLY dissapointed - like all other players. Had just started a Tiamat Battle with the 100% Hoard donations, I was looking forward to it........... How about NOT resetting the Hoard this Monday?

    I wonder if the Neverwinter "widows" have organised this one to get their loved ones to pay them some attention for Valentines?!

    This has been discussed and obviously you need to read about how DDoS attacks actually work before you go posting nonsense and threaten homicide on an unknown party. The only thing anyone can do for now, either find calm times to play or play at another time. I personally use the built in netgraph to monitor the attacks when they occur.

    This is how it works;

    If you start to lag type in chat window --> /netgraph 1
    In the lower right corner is a green graphic the more green spikes mean lags. If huge spikes occur finish what you are doing and find a safe spot until the "storm" is over. They don't last long and when the spikes calm down return to play.

    /netgraph 0 will remove the graph.

    The person doing this is wasting his money to pay for these attacks. This peon is not worth our attention.

    Fixed that for ya.

    Judging from the photos that he's posted, he's a Paladin that rides a beetle, and character name ends with "Hawk", on X-box.

    On Jan 26, he had 1,059,307 AD, then 737,607 AD.

    A subpeona to Twitter could reveal his IP address. Compare that IP address with the IP addresses of all the players that match the above description. Then it's a matter of the appropriate authorities knocking on doors. I know real life isn't like TV when they can pinpoint a person's exact location, but there are a multitude of web security tools out there that can drastically narrow things down.

    I have always connected to the game via the eu2 proxy and it appears that anyone connecting to the game via this proxy has no issues with lag.

    To connect via this proxy, do the following:
    1) open launcher
    2) options
    3) command line
    4) -SetProxy eu2.proxy.crypticstudios.com 80

    See if that helps :)

    And i agree with you the /tinfoilhat was not for you and your idea that it's a DDOS it was for my conspiracy theory that actually network equipment is so bad that they want us to think it is a DDOS, which would be even worse than not acknowledging the DDOS at the first place.

    Yeah, just got in for almost 60 seconds and the spikes were literally off the chart. No interact points worked, then... DISCONNECT... :-(

    Damn, I'm a new player - been playing for a week. I see lots of people are angry on reddit and such, I don't quite understand what's going on. Here I am just wanting to spend my weekend to get from 66 to 70. =/

    Pretty much every MMO I've play(ed) has been DDOS'd a couple times. Most of em being subscription. It sucks it pisses off innocent players and not just the company. Sigh.
