Tulmara Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Came here to report the same thing happening on Begeren Colony. Intermittent huge lag spikes and disconnects. Came here to report the same, massive lag spikes (40k ms plus), slight consolation to everyone else, I haven't been kicked yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Thorne Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Similar problems, lots of d/c and lag spikes. Apparently, Blizzard suffered/is suffering a DDoS attack; could it be affecting SWTOR as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevenantBob Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Wonder if this has anything to do with the DDOS attacks on World of Warcraft right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psikofunkster Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) DDOS attack against network providers What about stating an official announcement about this EA, Blizzard does. Edited August 31, 2016 by psikofunkster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikniff Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Considering the time and Biowares resources for swtor, I highly doubt anyone will be in the swtor office for several more hours. Unless the cartel market goes down as well. then we will get full dev support faster then you could say "No time for coffee, cartel market is down" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
americanaussie Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I'm just losing credits here...trying to help with conquest stuff and learn this GSF part but every time I try to play any kind of mission or anything my connection bars immediately drop to 1 or a big fat X during the GSF. I wondered if it was some kind of lag on my ISP's fault but it seems to occur immediately when going into a mission on GSF. I go from a somewhat healthy 189ms (I'm in Australia) to a deadly 22378ms. Boom,. Disconnect. The server list comes straight up and I can log right back into the thing. anyone else having this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Zone Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Harbinger is having some soul crushing lag spikes and DC's too. It's pretty much FUBAR. BW needs to get better servers and get what passes for their IT dept. heads out of their 4th points of contact! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThriceThree Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 its a DDOS attack. It will pass soon. Some idiot with no friends decided he hates life & others need to hate life too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaladinSix Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I don't know if this is related but over at WoW: "Players are currently experiencing high latency and disconnections as a result of DDoS attacks towards certain internet service providers. We are currently monitoring this situation and will provide updates as they become available. Please follow @BlizzardCS on Twitter for further updates." We might be falling prey to the same thing here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
americanaussie Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 *grumbles* Seriously, don't idiots have something better to do? No...I suppose their lives are so sad that not even **** can cheer them up. Ugh. Sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RepublicResolve Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Just checked norsemap. Looks like a DOS attack on the US and EU. No single source, they look like they are coming from all over though the primary seems to be china (as usual). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSparten Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 The Digital attack Map is showing a Denial of service attack on the central US so I expect that is the issue, It's been going on for the last 20 minutes so I expect the server farm is affected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amailya Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 My guess is some jerk decided to DDOS and crash WoW on its launch day of legion (this is confirmed ) and went hey, why don't i just crash multiple games while im at it to make everyone nerd rage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-PassingStar- Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Harbinger suddenly started to lag for me at about 10:30 pm PST. Finally, got kicked off the server. logged in a few more times but it would just kick me off with a few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tluggiero Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 It's nice to hear WOW is being attacked but I don't play wow. I pay for Swtor so why the Fk can I not play? Do we get refunds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Wulff Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 we are just splash damage. There are only so many server farms that can handle games like WoW and SWTOR and them doing a DDOS to the ISP serving the farm (weakest point to attack) also gets us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
