    Same here. I've had more fun on a roller coaster than with all the ups and downs the server's had.

    Trendy whilst you're popping in and out of here some feedback on the Open/Battle zones when using transporters or completing missions on Kobali to give to the Dev's

    Any chance of an option to turn off the Select your away team pop up. This is new with S10 and is bit of a nuisance esp in Voth BZ.

    Thanks

    I was back in game for a while and just now they crashed again. It's frustrating.

    Same here. Was in for a bit, went into the c'Hos Nebula to test a ship build, and the rubber banding and disconnects were so bad I couldn't even finish off 6 squadrons of Cardies.

    Looks like we'll be searching for other entertainment for a while. :(

    We're looking into the possibility of a DDoS affecting our network connections. We'll update as we have more information.

    Up down up down, disconnect/ lag/ Disconnect...Maybe invest in better servers, fund it with more layoffs :/

    Oh and how about not connecting all your games to the same server >.> you know that way when you're having issues like this you might actually have one playable game still running...

    This a thousand times. Every time it's the same damned song and dance. Server not responding, disconnect, lag across the timeline. I mean, it's just ridiculous on how many times this game has problems. And Cryptic is like, "Oooh we are aware of the problem and we're going to sort it out and fix it." But hey, the problem is right here:
    Oh and how about not connecting all your games to the same server >.>

    Along with that joke of a provider called Cogent.

    No. That's definitely not what just hit the servers.

    Might actually be bigger than you think.

    Just tried to run a Google search, and the screen stayed blank. Yet, I could run the same search in Bing.

    Iconian Probe Virus. Trying to prevent people from fighting in the Iconian War by denying them access to the game.

    Brilliant move, I'd say.

    Yeah. Same issue with Google.
    STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

    Hmm, no issues here.

    EDIT:

    Frankly, seems just like any other day in STO. Except that usually I can get through episodes without too much trouble.

    They're usually bots, not physical people. It's generally how their net ops can discern between people logging in and bots trying to clog up the internet machine.

    Distributed Denial of Service. It's where a hacker aggressively tries to access a site multiple times at once (typically in the thousands) in an effort to jam up a system's access points.

    Hacking should be considered a Capital Crime.

    Cybercrimes are odd things, sometimes. They can be hard to track, often originate from places that don't have the appropriate extradition treaties in place, and often require multiple law enforcement agencies working together to get anything done.

    I suggest a low yield tactical nuclear launch to the indicated area.

    The remaining populous will police their own after that.

    Denial of service attack.

    Also known as; Someone bombarding the servers on a specific port with a specific protocol that most likely acknowledges the requests, thus the connection/server gets overloaded and lagging the actual game out.


    I guess this is why i was lagging badly earlier today despite changing proxies etc.

    Ah DDOS, the online equivalent of a pouting 11-year-old with a can of spraypaint. I do look forward to the day when someone develops cyberpunk-style IC.

    Due to the nature of the situation, while Holodeck is now available, our teams will be heavily monitoring it, Captains.

    This must really be the best expansion ever if people value it enough to throw a DDoS at it.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    I am in the hospital, on Srs Painkillers and now this? A DDoS attack? What. :eek:

    Can I not suffer catastrophic lower-GI injuries and require life-saving surgery JUST ONE TIME without the game going down the gosh-darn tubes?! YOU HAD ONE JOB. ONE. :mad:


    Anyway back to my painkiller induced state of fa-la-la. Get things moving again or I will come back on here with graphic ZOMG-TMI level stories of my condition with actual probe-cam photos and graphic MRI scans. :mad:

    :D
