Jrbabar Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Again, Harbinger is experiencing huge latency issues, any idea when this will be corrected. It was like this for hours last night, and seems like the problem has returned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyRoyalport Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 The hackers are back at it again! The DDOS attack from last night (Aug 30) now seems to be continuing this afternoon. It's 1538 hrs EDT and so far in the past 15 min I've been booted 5 times on the Shadowlands server. Just an FYI for our players and the Devs .... I hope there can be a resolution soon.

battycoda Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Crashed off JC 3 times. Tried to log in and got an empty server list 3 times. Was able to get back in game for about 10 seconds, then booted again. I am on JC and can't even log into the launcher. "The login service is currently unavailable."

rolson Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I keep DCing. I've died about a dozen times in the Eternal Champ now because of it and its costing me a fortune in repairs I only keep trying because I didn't want to have to start all over, very annoying.

Macmagotty Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) I am having the same problem on Ebon Hawk: random disconnects without ever seeing any lag, just dumped straight to the server choice screen and no servers available. I ran tracert several times and at every instance the error occurs at some point along the Level3 framework of the Internet backbone. At the time of this posting, there are literally 100s of reports of Level3 outages occurring randomly over the past 72 hours causing disconnects from everything and anything. It's not just a SWTOR problem. This could be a result of DDoS attacks or hardware failure. No one is making official statements at this time as to why it's occurring. If you follow this link : http://downdetector.com/status/level3/map/ - you can see a map of how widespread the problem is.

NemoSD Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Technically, it IS EA's fault that they have weak security on their servers to allow the attacks. It has been stated thousands of times that there is no real defense against a DDoS attack. You can't stop until after it starts, and then it can take time to figure out how the attack is happening, how to block the attack, and return service to customers. It is why ******s like these guys love them, because there is not much you can do to stop it, and it is hard to catch them when it happens. Meaning they get to ********** to their little act of cyber terrorism, are unlikely to suffer any consequences, and then people get mad at one of the victims (In this case EA) instead of the real scumbags that people should be upset with.

JLazarillo Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Technically, it IS EA's fault that they have weak security on their servers to allow the attacks. Hey, if we're going to get into victim blaming, technically it's the players faults for liking the game in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord_Thorne Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Yep, lagspiked and booted a couple times in quick succession from Ebon Hawk. (I'm not strong believer in capital punishment, but, hackers might fit the bill. Trolls should merely have their fingers broken and reset badly, but hackers, well, too bad so sad...)
