PSN down (PS3/PS4 users)

Literally seconds away from logging in and the PSN drops, lol. Hopefully it comes back by the time dailies restart so I can do my beasties.

Haha Thank you for posting this~ I haven't been able to find info about it anywhere and was wondering if it was just me.

Yep, it's been down for at least a half hour. Not sure if it kicks you off, but if it didn't and you are in game on playstation, don't sign out.

Yeah, Sony dropped the ball and told everyone to cycle their networks for 20 min lol. It could potentially be a DDOS attack from Lizard Squad again, though they're not outwardly claiming it.

As far as I know, there was a flash sale. It was being reported on by IGN, but then PSN went down shortly after the sale started.

Woot, I managed to get on~ Hope its working for everyone else now too.

It really really sucks big time that we have to have this extra level of PSN verification that's not technically needed to access the game itself (as evidenced by the fact that PSN outages and maintenance often don't impact those already logged on, unless they log off and back on again). Would be nice if there was a Plan B that the game could switch to when PSN officially goes down to allow authentication using just the SE ID and password until it goes back up... when we had those DDOS attacks in December I came close to losing a humongous investment in time and resources because I couldn't water my stupid garden.

Go figure this happens at the end of my work week when for the first time I can actually do group content like raids and dungeons vs. solo stuff I can safely afk from in the case of an interruption. If this is another DDoS attack they should execute whoever is responsible.

Easy, killer. I hate to sound cliché, but it is warranted here: This is just a video game. Take a few deep breaths...it will be okay. :)

Ok that made me laugh at least I'll give you that one.
