DDos attack - guess we have to wait this one out

Knew it, earlier this week Outlook was DDos-ed and maybe even ADO

It’s just I thought Blizz wasn’t acquired (at least not yet) by Microsoft… :thinking:

I don’t think that it is DDos either. Infrastructure with scale like this kind of MMO should have HA and resilience design to immediately failover to avoid service interrupted. They may fool people who doesn’t have knowledge in this field, but not professionals. Game design flaw is more likely the cause.

Let’s just hope microsoft doesn’t violate its own licenses in the process.

Juicy! :heart_eyes:
This forum seems fine. I wonder if this forum is in different server.

Previously, I couldn’t even log on to the forum.
About four hours ago.

I wonder why a DDoS now. Can’t think of a reason.

Oh! I see. Thanks for the info. :slightly_smiling_face:

Give us an offline mode so we dont have to stop playing everytime an hacker farts in your direction.

The always online mode is nothing but trouble, brings nothing but annoyance to the game and is just another thing that can go wrong so we dong get to play. Like we are not getting now. But please tell me I am entitled since you can log in and have no problem.

Cool, diablo immortal works. Do you all have phones?
Okay, I’ll check back in a few hours to see if I can play.

typical blizzard lies. never willing to admit they arent as good as they think. scandal after scandal in teams. destroying their games instead of fixing things etc etc

Welll it’s been an hour stuck in the queue screen… yet no avail…I think blizz should compensate for this by giving some free stuff.

Reportedly, the in-game store if anyone logged in works without problems.

Check the Real time DDos map… there is literally a world wide DDoS war going on right now lol. Its not just blizzard. ITs been going on for a few hours

Why are they doing this. They should just visit strip club if they’re stressed or something. :slightly_frowning_face:

They could put up some backup servers in China like they have in diablo immortal.
I can’t believe the phone game works and D4 doesn’t.

I’d love to know what the context of this is. Because it just seems hilarious for a gaming company to get attacked. What is that supposed to achieve?

DDOS exclusively affecting login servers? Heh.

Different server
Post must be at least 20 characters…

Probably to show how inept blizzard is.
Too bad they don’t know they don’t have to show it to us.

Now it says “Queued for game 15 mins. left”… Should i take it as an improvement?
