    So how much coffee (and sanity) has all of this cost you and the poor network team?

    Hmmmm. First time I've been online when this has been going on. Doing a bit of reading, I wonder what the guy's original beef is....it's a kinda sad thing to do anyhow.

    Careful, @jodarkrider said we should not be discussing this guy. You don't want to get in trouble.

    Don't know who that is, but people are apparently saying Trendy has said something different. All I know I'm concerned with is knowing there is good team of people looking at this for us.
    If you've come to the forums to complain about the AFK system, it's known to be bugged at the moment.

    I'm thinking Microsoft is at it again. ARC fails to launch after the latest update in ANY mode. Uninstall, Reinstall, no joy

    Update: Roll back to previous build, functionality restored but generating a WSCLIENT32.DLL Banned app list error. Link included with steps to fix:

    http://www.neowin.net/news/heres-a-fix-for-the-wsclientdll-error-popup-in-windows-10-build-11099

    ARC installed, Launcher enabled, testing game now...will update

    Update: sitting in sector space, all is well.

    @jodarkrider

    At what point is it giving attention to the DDOS'er in question, and not questioning PWE/Cryptics ability to deal with the attacks on its service?

    The DDOS'er is the symptom of the problem, as a whole, and not purely the problem themself.

    I want to know more about why the game/organization is being reactive and not proactive in dealing with breaches to its security of operations.

    Forcing the players, days after day, to just wait out the attacks is not a reasonable plan for Coninuation Of OPerations.

    Securing the system from these sort of attacks will do more to not feed the DDOSers cravings than just "not talking about them".

    What do you really expect cryptic to do... The whole point of a DDoS is to use thousands to millions of systems which means thousands to millions if not hundreds of millions of unique IP addresses to flood the servers with requests.. Even if you can identify the clients all you can really do is try and filter out the extranious packets and drop them on the floor as well as nullroute the offending IPs.

    That all sill takes time but there are still several hundred fold more potental IPs for attacks to come from... The only way to prevent this stuff is on the fly.. That is unless you want them to just block ALL incoming connections until the event stops..

    Also, you can't leave all IPs nullrouted forever.. As many are dynamic as hell and just go back into the pool where legit users get assigned them later.

    There really isn't any single perfect solution here.. If you don't believe me.. Learn a thing for two about how our global interconnected network actually works.

    They could put STO on a server separate from the server of the game this guy has a beef with.

    Not sure if guy's still at it, but I'm getting more lag and rubberbanding still.

    @pwlaughingtrendy - I think he's at it again, getting a lot of SNR's over and over all of a sudden.

    I'm not in a good mood right now, I just lost a friend of my family and this is the only thing that is distracting me...If i wanted my words to be censored by the company's censors i would have asked them to do it. I don't care WHAT you have to do to get it done, JUST GET IT DONE...or I'm going to stop holding back on my mouth and vent like I've never vented before about every single problem I've had in this damn game and including how long it took Admins to respond and NO I really don't care if there is a problem with my words. Not with how I'm feeling right now

    I recommend you read a up on how these kinds of attacks work so you don't make any more foolish statements.
    When you see "TRIBBLE" in my posts, it's because I manually typed "TRIBBLE" and censored myself.

    I noticed a person on my friends list logging on and off very rapidly. This went on for several hours and is unusual for that player. Is this a sign his computer could be infected and unwittingly part of the DDOS?

    Nope. He might be being particularly _affected_ by the DDOS, but it's not in itself a sign of being compromised.

    No, it means he's unable to maintain his connection to the server due to the attack.
