So i decided to do the living story on a new character, and since he’s never been to drytop, he has to do the 1st episode again. But i can hear the conversation between npcs, and can move around pretty normal, but when it come time for combat there was a huge lag out of no where. The weird thing is i can’t use any of my skills, but i can run around and see all npc fight like normal. Does this happen to anyone else? Im sure that im the only one using the internet and while it’s not the best, but i don’t normally have lag

This guy is DDoSing the databases for NCsoft and like dominoes, GW2 is falling with it.

Hes been doing this since yesterday apparently.

He took down wildstar, Everquest, World of Tanks, Archeage, Battle.net, Pornhub, etc.
Its all there on his twitter. All the posts where he says he took a game down seem to match up with when the games have gone down as well, so it is prolly legit.

While this lag is absolutely absurd, I don’t think our buddy, “chF,” is responsible for these DDoS attacks. I’d bet he’s simply taking credit for server downtime moments after it happens, so it appears that he is to blame.

Otherwise, he is opening himself up to civil and criminal liability and plotting a course for authorities to apprehend him easily. He would most likely face years in prison and fines it would take a lifetime to pay.

I dont know. Seems pretty legit to me, also ive been lurking his twitter and there are a bunch of other tech-savy peeps trying to track him and pin his location, but its taking a long time because hes got onion routing or some such thing.

I think its the real deal.

The twitter is obviously hacked, but the person behind it claiming responsibility seems to be legit.

Have any of the claims come before it happens or only afterwards?
