MrsFen Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 You read wrong, It is a group of wanna be hackers called poodleCorp. For "wanna be's", seems like they are doing a pretty good job.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterCrumB Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I continue to have drastic latency spikes today, having red "X" constantly every minute or two, really making the game an annoyance to have any desire to play... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadencepulse Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 It's just a bunch of wannabe tough guys giggling and hiding in their mom's basement(s) wishing they had the cojones to play with the big boys.

gburnash Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) Gotta love all of the people who post on the thread without bothering to take a look at any of the most recent posts. Because if they did then they likely wouldn't post because their questions would be answered. LOL They are under a DDoS attack and having issues on all sorts of EA servers. It is because of the DDoS attack that the servers are wonky, kicking people, losing connection, etc. Apparently the culprit is a bunch of lamers calling themselves poodlecorps Edited August 31, 2016 by gburnash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SternSgtRex Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Can confirm that Ebon Hawk is still crashing This is absolutely ridiculous. Bioware has had more than half a day to figure out how to stop a bunch of nerdy kids with computers while the rest of us sit here and twiddle or thumbs wondering why we subbed for this...

ToturiShigetoshi Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Do the hackers get something from all this, or are they just out for recognition? Because "minor hacker group mildly irritates several gaming geeks" doesn't exactly sound like lasting infamy to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SternSgtRex Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Been acknowledged at least. Haha. Only about 10 minutes ago. It took them about 15+ hours for them to finally even acknowledge this. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm- Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 appartly is random, just got on for a minute before being booted again, guildie said hes not having issues :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayOfTheWarriorx Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 The issue is now with NA servers, as well. I've been kicked multiple times from the Harbinger in the past hour. IF I'm lucky enough to get back online without a blank server screen, I'm kicked again within a few minutes. I'm having the same exact issue. Had a little trouble last night but not to bad, only got booted once or twice but got right back on and was ok. Today [supposedly after BW said "all the issues have been addressed"] I'm having more substantial issues, gotten worse in the last hour or so. I've frozen in game or could not move past a certain point., like hitting an invisible wall", or i try to mount and i hear the sound but nothing happens, and this is followed by the disconnect. Earlier I was able to just click the server again [i'm a Shadowlander}, and get back on, last three or four times there were no servers listed at all. I restarted the launcher. I see them, connect, same problem 5 minutes later. Now however, even when I restart the client [launcher] there are no servers listed at all. S%t happens, I get that. I'm a subscriber but I do not expect there to never be technical issues, that's just unrealistic. Its like getting a new car and expecting to never have any mechanical problems. It just comes with the territory from time to time. Annoying? Yeah, sure. It's also annoying when my GF doesn't want to have sex for the fourth time in a row in the last hour, but, I still keep her around. My only gripe with the whole matter is only that they release statements saying "Yes we had issues blah blah blah, but everything is cools again", when, in fact, clearly it's not. I don't expect free days of subscription, I don't expect some extra CC coins tossed my way [although it'd be nice =] ], just don't grease me is all. Alot of people make statements that they will unsub if this isnt delbt with in x amount of time or if it happens again.....if one person out of 100 who made that threat actually unsubbed I'd be shocked beyond all knowledge. BW? You really wanna make it up to me? Convince my girl to give up the skins some more. I'm a growing boy. Long Live the Empire. Death to all Pubs.

LordArtemis Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I think it's folks who are upset with the current direction of the game, ie lack of any new end game for almost 2 years...yes, myself included in that group That's actually more unlikely than you might think. In most cases it is usually some kind of group either motivated by boredom or an agenda that has more to do with broader concerns or complaints, usually targeted at publishers instead of developers. Certainly not always the case, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airehn Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Thanks for the map. Didn't realize the issue was so widespread. Although I'm still upset, there is a little comfort in knowing I'm not alone and that it isn't an isolated area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vyerix Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Was happening to Blizzard last night as well. Played SWTOR until it all started and decided to go do something in WoW. Later people were getting dropped from there as well. Blizzard had posted that it was widespread attacks on ISP's around the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qronus Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 It's the hacker collective known as Poodlecorp. I think they are trying to frustrate the release of the Battlefield 1 open beta. It just so happens to be affecting all EA servers. Lucky us! *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
