Can it be confirmed if this is a DDOS attack or not?
Appears so, Zaalg.
When he uses the term “mitigate”, and the login servers are full, yes.
Personally, I have not been able to ‘log in’ as of the last 48hrs (approximately).
I’m in the OCE area and assuming, currently, that this has been tied into the ddos attacks. But I have been through trouble-shooting and forums, trying every one of the recommended fixes;
-Updated Video Drivers,
-Cleared Cache/WTF/Interface folders,
-Reset Router,
-Uninstalled and Reinstalled Battle.net app
-Checked Firewall options to make sure they are allowing the game through,
-Analyzed and Optimized Drives
And after everything, I am still getting no further than the “Logging in to game server” screen when I try to play. Some friends have been able to get in, some made it as far as the character lists then got disconnected and couldn’t get back past “Logging in to game server” afterwards.
That’s all the relevant information I can think of, if there is anything we can provide to assist getting this sorted please reach out.
I found out that I not only can’t log in the game after the last maintenance but also can’t get access to us.battle.net and shop.battle.net now
That doesn’t sound ddos related. I would start troubleshooting by restarting your modem/router/computer. The connection to the Battle.net system has been stable for a few days now.
