Look at your blizzard launcher they even say they are under a DDoS attack
Put your pitchforks away ladies and gentlemen this isn’t Blizzards fault
You can’t have 100% DDoS protection it doesn’t exist so don’t bring out your armchair/backseat IT experience
But, I want to whine!
This is Blizzards fault… Their security is weak and has always been, their server stability has always been weak and continues to do so, the game needs an update and better technology for their servers so they become more stable… Its been 16 years of this, one DDOS attack didnt make the last 16 years happen…
Literally blizzards fault.
You literally can’t have 100% DDoS protection
You can try to filter potential attacks but you literally can’t avoid it
Just like the flu everyone can take the flu shot but someone is bound to get sick
It’s a little ridiculous that Blizz doesn’t seem to want to implement some kind of anti-DDoS measure to prevent this from happening, which you’d figure they would want to do since these happen with every patch. There’s gotta be something that they could do to mitigate it, at least.
I haven’t even seen a thread complaining about a DDoS. This is basically extraneous content. It’s really just shilling at this point.
Oh look, the DDoS excuse again.
Exactly, it goes so well with this extra aged cheddar and crackers.
It was literally announced under an hour ago
Relaunch your blizzard launcher it even has the notification up saying they are
Clark would start this thread defending blissard!
It literally is Blizzards fault. I haven’t got a mount drop in weeks. So I got serious.
I am
Yet on Twitter, an hour ago, they announced no problems and the games are all up and running. No problems. Now all of a sudden it’s a Ddos? Riiiiiiiiiight.
How convenient!
Its a pretty convenient excuse, oh guys sorry the state of our game is crap. One random DDOS just crashed the whole system we put in… Give me a break boss.
What do we want: MOUNTS!
When do we want it: NOW!
Why aren’t we getting it: BLIZZARD!
STRIKE! STRIKE! STRIKE! STRIKE!
The DDoS was just a warning.
All it says is the Great Vault has been temporarily disables to resolve a tech issue. Nothing about a Ddos.
I get that you can’t protect 100% against a DDoS.
But adding a checkpoint system to scenarios so that we don’t lose our progress in the event of a disconnect would be a responsible way to mitigate the pain caused by such events.
it’s almost as if the players themselves are causing the ddos by hundreds of thousands of people all trying to connect at once…
