SHB DDOS has begun

Seems to be a node that connects Central EU yet again. I live in Northern EU and I have 0 issues again, while I see bunch of people around me having issues.

I’m on Twintania in the Light data center and I didn’t notice anything so far, except perhaps a few windows taking one more second to open up when interacting with my retainer, and it happened once yesterday. My friends didn’t notice anything either.

before its even out? hmmm

Haven't experienced any problems on Crystal lately. They might just be targeting EU servers though, it seems.

You know..like we shouldn't be blaming everything on the WoW peeps. We need to do our own thing and not focus on them with wild ass conspiracy theories.

Am I the only one who believes the DDoS attacks are complete bs? I seriously believe SE just doesnt want to fork up for better servers. I dont understand why anyone would put in so much effort for absolutely no returns on said effort. Also, Im pretty sure there are methods to cancel out DDoS attacks almost entirely. My router has DDoS prevention. I used it to stop a chinese guy from DDoSing a server I hosted once. I banned him from the server for being a trashy human being and he got upset and started attacking. I really do hope I'm wrong about this. I just find it hard to trust SE these days. Why can't billionaire corporations combat a few people pushing in lots of network traffic in?

Sometimes it is DDoS, pretty sure a couple instances were very much proven, helped by atleast one of them being a group that was attacking multiple other companies around the same time frame. Other times its a "DDoS" AKA "a LOT of people are getting on and thus causing a situation exactly like a DDoS."

That said right now there doesn't seem to be anything happening, SE would have said something by now even if it was to cover themselves like you are suggesting they do.

Ah, Ok. Thank you for the response.
