And, while tempting to blame stomping a quaggan, it’s important to remember that correlation is not causation.

Thank you, Duckideva. I for one needed that. So I also know that Anet has said they’re working on it, but what exactly can they do in response? And that IPViking is just trippy

It is, been watching it for the better part of the afternoon, and some massive attacks that happened coincided with times that my friends started dropping like flies off the server.

Now, of course not every single person is being affected—you have your anomalies and people that are getting lucky by not being on a “pipeline” being affected (in layman’s terms). Kudos to them.

As for the people that ARE being affected, well. ANet is working on figuring out a solution/defense/how to get it to stop, but I think it’ll take some time, as they’re not the only ones being affected by these spikes. They have to contact outside people and their service providers, get them on board and figure out a solution with them. So they have to wait a little like we do in some aspects.

Generally sucks all around.

Agreed. More the writer in me was just wondering what a company could do in a situation like this… And I’m remembering the attack that took down the SOE network and ALL their MMOs plus the PS3 network a few years back. And this is where I start twitching…

I hope they can fix it soon. And I hope they get enough data to figure out who is doing this. I’ll buy a round in the Reach for everyone if Anet does.

Well in terms of blocking the servers/hosts that have already attacked, sure, they can do everything in the world. But a good DDoS hack is going to be pushing from continuously unique and irrelevant hosts and servers. Therefore, the only way to block is to tigger an auto kick if you try connect a certain # of times is a certain # of seconds (milliseconds). It’s hard to allow everything to be public, but at the same time shut down unique ips.

At the same time, I’m starting to think my quaggan stomp started this whole worldwide war on the internet

duckideva.6358:

Yeah, but your guildies may not be using the same ISP you are, or traveling through the same backbone. With a distributed attack like this, the effects will be localized to the bit of structure being punished at that time. As I said in other threads, I do think there is a problem at the Anet/Level 3 server point…but I think the trouble they are having extends beyond their corporate sphere. I think we’re seeing a big botnet release.

And, while tempting to blame stomping a quaggan, it’s important to remember that correlation is not causation.

Ahahahah I love it. Hey man, the quaggan theory was a far fetched one from the beginning :P

I do believe you are on to something as it is kinda random how far I get before disconnect. Just recently, I was finally able to do 2 attacks in wvw! So with that being said, hopefully I’m getting hit hard as I’m pretty local to the servers.

duckideva.6358:

It’s not just Anet, the whole country is under a massive bot attack right now. See here for a live map of the action. It’s totally trippy. http://map.ipviking.com (Edited to clean up the link.)

This had nothing to do with my problem though.

My guildies are online and I cant. I’m not usually a conspiracy person but this happened literally right after I demoralized a arena net rep in wvw.

Hi all,

Okay so I ran the tracerroute and found that I’m losing almost all my info. See below:

So basically the FAQ says, “Call your ISP”. Okay. And tell them what? All my other internet services are working perfect except my gw2 client is rubberbanding? That wont float lol. Seeing as how it CANT be ISP unless its a port/proxy issue, its a gw2 issue. All my other internet functions are properly working, including other games.

e:
Oh, I forgot to say. This happened immediately after stomping an anet tagged individual in quaggan form. He must have been super kittened too. Not sure if that matters, but yeah, my client died right at that point.

fixed with, nvm

Yeah, after investigation more I think the display is what is off, as the other teams keep numbers are okay, but our eb keeps are not being counted.

Another horrible wvw problem is that when you try WP to any wp other than the hill wp, it brings you to the hill wp. (Like trying to wp into sm from a BL; it wont let you)

oops wrong thread

This issue has been rampant since the so called WvW “improvements”…

Look at the screenshot. How the kitten are we only getting points for having 4 keeps, when we have 7 keeps? The point totals and display of points has been wildly off.

NSP is the most polite server ive ever encountered. You guys have my resepect

I like ET as a server, but my goodness you guys are HUGE kitten! I’m roaming trying to find a fight and all i can find from ET is 10 of you sitting in OW waiting to jump 10v1. You run away 3v1, 2v1 and 1v1, come learn to fight lol. I have like sceenshots from 5 different days of the same [PlC] guys chillin in towers 10v1 lol.

It’s funny and ironic because: DH can’t fight yet they always try to, and ET can fight but are big kitten.

You went to pug paradise (aka EB) and want fair fights? Are you crazy? I just go EB when I’m on zergling mood, or when I don’t care to get merked with 10:1 odds.

It was at like 4am, or about when I made the post, and there was no DH or ET to be found in any BL’s.

It’s been an unfortunate week for us at AR because:
1) A lot of our players are MIA due to fairweather/holidays
2) Both DH and ET have good primetimes but have very low oceanic and off hour pops. This leads to us having an okay time during primetime, but are bored out of our minds later in the night.
3) A lot of our main commanders are not tagging or away, so we haven’t had much of a focus this week, as is evident by our decline after the weekend.

Still good fights and good fun though.

To the DH [SL] Warrior I keep destroying, but got 1 lucky kill: I know you are happy you caught me, but spamming doesn’t make you any better lol. I let you run away at least 3 times with your tail tucked between your legs at 5% life because I felt bad for you (notice my single laugh). You wont be so lucky next time

Just wanted to say what up to everybody.

Furthermore, I have regained a lot of respect for SF from this one dude. Him and I sat and chatted and I came to realize that sf isnt so bad after all.

This is a few days late, but I’ve been super busy-

To the blue/greenish [OBEY] Theif: You sir are a very good dueler. Definitely one of the better theives I’ve went up against.
.
Been a good matchup this week for the most part. I’m beginning to regain some respect for SF, as they have always been the server that consists of predominantly kittens.

Ty SF for proving you aren’t only the biggest kitten, but you are are also easy
PS: Note times

I normally don’t post calling people out, but LOL at the 10 DH I just punked outside of sm for 10min. I literally beckoned/threatened/sat/danced/laid down all while you 10 stayed on your acs, treb and cannons… Then when I try fight 5 of you and all of the npcs at the sm gate, you jump on my body and throw siege lol.

Oh, and then when I whispered you, you pussed out once again of another fight in your advantage. Stay scared Traps Longbow and the other 9 of you, stay scared
