    He was bragging on Twitter that it was just a "test". But that "test" has killed tonight's game time for me.

    I no longer do any Bug Hunting work for Cryptic. I may resume if a serious attempt to fix the game is made.

    I wonder this myself from time to time, i keep going because most other games either have higher requirements such as cards and graphics etc, or cost money to sub, i wish i could find something , but i have not found it yet :(

    Strange... There was some bad lag spikes for me but... stablized. Cost me optionals and some stress in an Infected run... Did the team jump on it real fast this time?

    No point in complaining about it. Just accept that he gets to decide when we play and when we don't. Nothing can be done about it.

    Have you broken the bad news to the misses yet that she's been replaced :)

      The overconfident usually have karma coming straight at them sooner or later.

      "Test", load of bullscrap, to be honest. He does a DDoS, and he says its a test. It's people like him that annoy the hell out of me. There needs to be a tighter leash on DDoSing, in my opinion.

        Power play.

        There's not that much they can do about the actual DDOS. And he never did DDOS himself, none of his TGG crew ever does their own denials, it's a paid service. As for a punishment, he was online in NWO supposedly himself during this, he even stated the place and instance. Problem really is connecting DDOS to him, and since it's a third party service, impossible.

        DDOSing is fairly common in MMOs, two years ago, Blizzard was hit with a massive 400gbps, last year it was 350ish, both originated from eastern europe. WoW is DDOSed every so often, nowadays too.

        DDOSing. I really do hate it when people sing in Dungeons and Dragons Online. :p

        DDoS still ongoing. Hopefully I'll at least be able to log in long enough to claim the dil voucher to help my fleet.

        OMG make it stop already! Cryptic just shut down the servers for a full day and tell this guy GG Man GG so he can feel good about himself and stop! this DDOS Lag is killing the game with the constant attacks.

        This would probably only make things worse - do this once and he could intensify future efforts to make it happen again.

        Can we create a feedback pulse of some kind?, the more attacks, creates a feedback, blocking their conection, thus lowering the attack until it stops?

        Kinda sorta... ish. The server itself can be protected (Cryptic clearly doesn't want to post details of their countermeasures, and I have no problem respecting that) but there's not much they can do to protect the quality of your connection to it while the DDoS takes place.

        This.

        The only way to 100% block a DDOS attack, would be to block all connections entirely, but that would stop everyone from playing.

        That isn't something that Cryptic can really do..

        So in otherwords, either Cryptic stop us playing or the DDoS idiot does. Some choice, though I think I'd prefer Cryptic.

        Well this is where a Cryptic failing comes into full view, sharing an account server between all of their games.

        As I understand it, the peson(s) doing the attack, has a beef with Neverwinter.

        Had Cryptic not been sharing servers, STO would be totally fine while NW get's attacked. Same goes with Champions...though I wondered if that game was still running, and it is..

        I understand why Cryptic has all of their egg's handled by one basket, but in this situation, it kills all three with one stone.
