Making the best of a bad situation... :)

So, these DDoS attacks seems to be happening more and more often recently. And since we have acknowledged them, why not make something silly and enjoyable out of it.

For example, why not make a simple peice of gear for everyone in the aftermath? Like some kind of Ferengi Temporal Shielding, to protect us from future 'incursions'... probably?

Well, i guess we're probably gonna get something like that in the new FE, but still... We could make this a funny little piece of STO history, and what better time that during all the temporal shenanigans?

    I actually think it would be a good idea for something like this. A way to spite whoever is doing this. :D

    They likely wouldn't notice, as they are really just ticked off at Neverwinter.

    I am, however, considering making reading these forums into a drinking game. T6 Connie Thread? Drink. Game's Too Hard Thread? Drink. DDOS Thread? Drink. Closed Thread? Finish the bottle...

    Then the Neverwinter devs should do something like this too! :D

    banatine: Well, reading some threads might just kill me anyways, so what's the difference?

    kjwashington: That would be more likely to work. Would we then have people doing DDOS attacks just to get cool toys ingame afterwards, though?

    In before the lock.

    Seriously, there have to be some decent hackers in the community can someone please track this little brat down? Give me his home address and I'll personally tear his balls off with my bare hands.

    I don't care THAT much about this game it's just the principle of the thing.

    As much as these DDOS attacks are rage inducing, let's try to think and behave rationally about this

      "The meaning of victory is not to merely defeat your enemy but to destroy him, to completely eradicate him from living memory, to leave no remnant of his endeavours, to crush utterly his achievement and remove from all record his every trace of existence. From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory."

      Ok, then...

      There's expressing displeasure, there's feeding the trolls, and there's expressing a wish to assault someone else.

      Which of these things isn't against the forum rules? Only one...

      Oh, and IF the DDOSer is reading this, the other two are just encouraging his poor behavior.

      I played one game that gets DDOSed so much that they give out double experience and skill vouchers like they are candy. That was and still is a very sad broken game.
