RubyRiver Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 How many internets do you have? And what does the Swedish Chef have to do with anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transcendent Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Not much we can do aside from wait. Something like this is down to an ISP to resolve, there is only so much rerouting that can be done to avoid this. All I can say is that the DDoS attackers are some serious killjoys, they need a smack around the back of the head (preferably with something hard....).

grumpehcat Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Good night SWTOR, good work, I'll most likely... Wait... no, it's already mostly dead. We're on to the part where we need Miracle Max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I can say is that the DDoS attackers are some serious killjoys, they need a smack around the back of the head (preferably with something hard....). I'd say yes, this is most likely the issue. It's a problem with their ISP. Nothing they can control, however i'm sure they are racking on the ISP they do business with to get their stuff together. It may even be that their ISP is expanding the service, and BW is expecting brief disconnects such as this, but they feel no need to tell us about it.

DarthOvertone Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Been booted out of Ebon Hawk twice in the last 15 minutes. The second time logging in was nearly impossible. I'm done trying at this point. BW fix your login server. By the way, it's not an EA issue. BF4 is playing fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthEnrique Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 It's nice that this issue hasn't stopped the spam bots, no joke even though I'm getting kicked I'm still getting spam mail, you'd think they'd be getting kicked as much as we are,., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkwarrior_ Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Have you guys not realized that there is noone left on this game????Let me see if i can explain......when most of the people doing the replying in here are the same ones doing a live stream then how many people do you see????? THERE IS BASICALLY A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE ACTUALLY WORKING ON SWTOR NOW PEOPLE!!!! QUIT EXPECTING MIRACLES AND GIVE EM ALL YOUR MONEY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkwarrior_ Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I wonder if the same hardware is running the WOW servers as is running the SWTOR servers. Weird that both should be getting ddos at the same time. You also have not far to look to answer that question either, isp (internet service provider) is the one getting attacked and not the actual servers. Look up norse attack map or several different sites that show current attacks on all areas of the world, very good stuff really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiltonium Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Blizzard: Informs players of a problem Bioware: *Crickets* Having to get info about a problem with the game from a competitor. Blizz cares about their game, and their appearance to their community. Bioware is that guy who comes into work late, hasn't shaved, hasn't done his hair, wearing the same shirt he wore the day before. They don't care.

Chiltonium Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) Yep, the disconnecting stopped for bout 45 minutes, then business as usual. Edited August 31, 2016 by Chiltonium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkwarrior_ Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Just to pass on a lil bit of information.....it is the internet service providers that are getting attacked, all the internet is getting disconnected not just swtor and wow....lol! Pick up lil program called pingplotter and type in the addy bar http://www.swtor.com, it shows the packet loss and ping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommajedi Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Had solid connection all day today on Bergeren Colony then starting at about 11pm MST was getting kicked out about five minutes after logging in with no servers on the Server Select screen. This despite the website saying all the servers are fine. I saw on another thread that a big DDOS attack directly to ISP's were the culprit. I confirmed this as my husband's been playing WoW's Legion all night and has been getting kicked pretty steadily at intervals. Anyone have any further updated information beyond canned answers?

RubyRiver Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 It's not all the "internets". Apparently it's a DDos attack that's targeting gaming. I guess some mamas' boys got upset that they couldn't stay up late enough and finish their milk and cookies. So their temper tantrums rained down on the innocent.
