Usually these are coordinated attacks. Although one person doing this to a great many ISPs sounds cool
Yes. If the guy on twitter was the real person, its multiple people.
uh. thats why the moira on my team couldnt walk witout hitting all the walls with her head
Still an issue but not as a bad I guess. Only half my games had a leaver cancel the match today. Are the Asian servers even worse? I’ve seen a lot of Japanese and Chinese named players in my US games lately, full with kanji/whatever name tags.
Just seems odd they would migrate to US servers when we are having such problems, unless their are worse.
There was a tweet allegedly from the attackers that said they would leave the EU alone ‘for now’ because of some EU streamer that they had promised not to interfere with. (Nobody has yet contested that the group claiming responsibility is in fact responsible, so I suppose that message was as reliable as a message from DDoS attackers can be.)
Obviously their reasoning would mean they might do server-specific or time-specific attacks that avoid that particular streamer, so, who knows what will happen going forward.
Lol I wonder if it’s a stunt to promote a specific streamer and to kill the competition. It would be a juicy bit of gossip to find out the Streamer in question is behind the attacks and/or paid some one else to do it.
It’s seriously weird for them to hurt thousands if not millions of innocent people with their attacks and not care to slightly inconvenience a set of streamers. But then shy away from that one person. That stinks of a conspiracy to me, that or some people who put the Fan in Fanatic.
It could be. Or it could be exactly the reverse, an attempt to link the streamer to their activity. Or it could just be an excuse they made up to not attack the servers they play on, if by chance they are still playing even while attacking. There’s really no way to know right now.
They are doing it to advertise that they can. They will then take money for doing it to others.
Make no mistake this is nothing about feeling powerful and everything about making a bucketload of cash.
