Unfortunately, it's pretty common - new content coming out? Complain about the old content/bugs/assume that it's child's play to fix existing bugs without breaking other systems that would require even *more* time and resources to fix. The devs will do what they can, when they can, with the resources they have. If fixing a…
And it was delightful to see the Romulans fooled into joining the war, wasn't it? The master manipulators were themselves manipulated! Ha! Yes, D'Tan knew that the only way the Republic could survive was through the support of the Federation and the Klingon Empire. But I have no doubt that D'Tan's consistent push for…
You dream of a proconsul who happily gave her own people... our people - by the thousands to the Elachi monsters? Who unleashed the Hirogen hunters against our people without even blinking? Or the Tal'Shiar? Who was, in essence, responsible for destruction of the Hearthworlds and the deaths of nearly Five. Billion. Of her…
I do so love this story - especially the not-so-subtle response to all the 'oh so we're celebrating a new era of peace with DREADNAUGHTS' postings I've seen recently.
Have you read the Rihannsu trilogy by Diane Duane? Since the Romulan Republic is (at least loosely) based on her writing, I think you could get some really good inspiration... but in the end, unfortunately, a lot of people don't have any other view of Romulans than what they've seen on TNG and DS9, and will view any…
Exactly. Not to mention it's been pointed out repeatedly how difficult it can be to prevent attacks like this, particularly if the perp is using a 'service' to handle these attacks - these services can have tens of thousands of IP sources and 'botnets' to launch their attacks. The folks at Cryptic have stopped every single…
Yeah it's possible to backtrack the DDoS attack - but how easy that is depends on how the attack was originally set up. If the perp's 'botnet' is a widely-distributed network (or he paid a 'service' to handle the attack for him - which is much easier than most people think), the DDoS attack could originate from thousands…
Goodness, I had no idea that he's also taking claim for the ESO downtime. No, that's not smart at all... all three companies have serious resources to support an extended and in-depth investigation.
DDoS attacks are like the Borg - these attacks have been adapting in recent years to be more effective, to do more damage with smaller 'botnets' and be more effective against programs designed to filter out the 'white noise' jamming whichever servers are being targeted. Not to mention there is a growing 'underground'…
