It is extremely disheartening to go through this for a 2nd day in a row. How are punk kids getting the best of a million dollar company 2 days in a row?
They tried to do the same thing to twitch and failed. So obviously twitch has some kind of defense vs this type of attack. Why does blizzard not have such a thing?
We can blame DDOS all we want, but its up to blizz to deal with it it in a timely fashion. 2 days of this crap is beyond annoying…
First you cannot stop a DDOS entirely people have this idea of billion dollar company can just throw money and stop a DDOS entirely. it can be difficult to differentiate legitmate addresses from the actual problem, and you put valid consumers at risk by trying strategies to fully stop an attack its just not a good idea.
secondly there are mitigation tools and strategies which everyone does to a degree, and given this isn’t aimed at blizzard but providers https://twitter.com/BlizzardCS/status/1170767507927515137 see this tweet who knows what their providers do for a solution. the vast majority of people on the forums seem to have the idea if blizzard is being affected with a DDOS its them and they have no mitigation which is entirely false.
They have had 2 days to figure it out. The excuses are getting old at this point.
Is there a way to find out what network providers are affected?
Obviously the one i have is affected… 
not fun.
Again blizz cant fix anything if they target their network providers. The provider isnt them.
These guys suck!!! Like, seriously, they wait 'til I get home and get the computer booted up to do this crap.
Butt-Monkies!
~~Regarding the issue: it’s like a flood. In order for us to receive service, the gate must be opened. Well, it’s a two-edged sword, see? I don’t feel like explaining it anymore… lol
O nothing can be done then. O well I guess this punk kid controls OUR destiny in this game, not blizzard. Thats exactly what your saying. Do you not see a problem with that? I do…
Some people just want to watch the world burn
Nah, i’m just not knowledgeable enough to know the solutions. I would imagine the attack is from many… uhh, cloned? IPS addresses. I would imagine irregularities have to be flagged to be blocked, but how many players that would lock out, I have no idea…
$^#&* ionno, i’m just shooting from the hip, lol
~~Maybe some WoW-god will S.W.A.T. their butts, lmao.
faerlina is back up, we working on whitemaine?
Herod - not working
I can’t log into current or classic WoW. Yet, my friends and guildies are in game. I’m on Duskwood in current and Atiesh in classic.
This is not an issue of slow/bad connections for all of us currently. I’m logged into WoW, shows I’m on my server with my character list, but when I try to enter the world I get a loading screen which eventually times out with a notice that the World Server Is Down. That is not an ISP DDoS issue, that is a problem with the WoW servers. Are your engineers looking into that or just writing everything off as related to the DDoS attacks? Because this looks independent of anything with ISP attacks.
strange how my husband can log on to his account on his pc sitting next to me but i cannot??
herod still down
How come my friends can all play on a different server but I can’t log into any servers?
My traceroute returned normal my husband logged onto his account on his pc just fine but i cannot log on it same internet and everything so what goes with that? i have traceroute info but wont let me post it here if u need it let me know.
I am able to log onto my account, but my wife is not able to connect to her’s. Is this connected to the DDOS?
Yup, can’t get past server select. Even BFA won’t let me in. Very strange bug.
same issue. everyone else in my discord is playing, but i cant get past the server select. traceroute is clean.
