You know it's patch day when...

[YuriLion]

Yeah, Behemoth

[SJWhat]

Is it actually DDoSing or just the servers under heavy load?

DDoS is likely. A lot of worlds are now down, and that plus an already heavy load could make for an easy crash. Or it could be possible that someone spilled coffee on the computer again, and everyone is freaking out.

Same with Goblin, all day so far.

I wondered how SE easy weak when DDOS attack every times. I'm ex wow player. It was very rare DDOS on WoW.

Hoped SE do more "shield" stronger block from DDOS attack.

SE has a shield. It's the acceptance of people who think it can't be fixed.

*dies laughing* Oh this is amusing. As an Ex-WoW player I remember when WoW would be brought to its knees for an entire week when groups decided to target it with DDoS. The Lizard Squad era was a dark time for WoW. There is only so much that can be done, and we don't know exactly what methods are in place. There is a chance that yes SE has a weak defense, but to say that any other MMO is better is laughable.

I've seen Sony, Microsoft, Amazon, and Google brought down by ddos attacks in the past. If they can't do it who can?

And since Lizard, WoW's servers have never been brought down like that again. Because Activi$ion implemented numerous layers of protection against DDOS. It's not laughable to say other MMOs have better defense when it's plainly obvious they do.

[KadaRemnant]

No confirmed statement about DDoSing... but the symptoms are there, it's patch day, and it's been a full week since Blizzard last reminded us they still exist (kidding, not kidding). All the signs point to it.

What is blizzard? Never heard. Lol

[Khalithar]

I’ve been trying to get one ex roulette done and every time the get lobby errors from the ddos. So irritating.
