Believe me, we are pushing as hard as we can. BTW - in publicly acknowledging and apologizing for the DDOS attacks (over Twitter, Facebook, and this forum), we got two more attacks within minutes. I often debate exactly how much information to share with the community due to this exact problem. LO has not interest in hiding anything, but every time we give information out, it also goes directly to the people initiating these attacks. Fortunately we're on mitigation right now, and those attackers wasted their efforts. They can't make it any worse. Rest assured, we're not giving up. Stay tuned. Thanks, Matt I think being open and honest about the game's issues and progression, even when it goes slow, is the reason the community is a lot more positive and hopeful these days. Maybe you could share the usual information but not so much regarding the servers and DDOS, give the least necessary information regarding that? As @Birmingham said, we got your back. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yood 345 Posted July 15, 2018 3 hours ago, MattScott said: Hi everyone, This is just a brief post to acknowledge and apologize for the horrible networks issues today. Our servers were hit with a series of nonstop DDOS attacks across both regions for about 5 hours between 11am and 4pm PDT. This is by far the worst series of collective attacks we’ve seen. We switched to mitigation and tripped another network issue with our provider that made the issue worse. We will do better in the future. Sorry, Matt Hi MattScott please tell me which server you worrying about DOS attacks Jericho ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clandestine 390 Posted July 15, 2018 I just love those IT illiterate people with dozens of viruses on their systems. AFAIK botnets use army of infected computers for ddos attacks so if you know someone who don't know how to keep his PC clean please take a hammer and fix his computer. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Elon Musk even turned up for a game. What Im wondering is, what will APB be like when there is no DDoS? And no stuttering and no packet loss or any of these things? Will we be able to handle it? Will we be able to handle playing the perfect APB? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cr0 328 Posted July 15, 2018 In terms of what to share or not about the DDOS stuff, it's great that you're open about it but I think the majority would be totally OK with if you cut back on that, seeing the consequences. Nice to see you guys are working hard on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Salvick 248 Posted July 15, 2018 (edited) What Matt is saying is very smart, every time someone mentions anything related to their activity they gather info and imo they also gain attention which is in some way their final goal, even if someone could say they don't do this for attention and they are doing it just because they are evil, these are still in a deep need of attention too. How could anyone be so poisoned to become so persistent and dedicated to damage others? dang! Edit: Could anyone link me where the announce of a patch on Tuesday is please? I skipped that and I have no clue what's going on on Tuesday :s Edited July 15, 2018 by Salvick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poperon 141 Posted July 15, 2018 If LO ever decides to call the cops or any specialized company (if there is) to trace who the hell has been ddosing the servers, i wouldn't be surprised if the attacker was ray the weeb.

In the end it really boils down to this: be honest and pay the price that comes with it say nothing or claim that everything is "status quo" and pay the price that comes with it I think it's (unfortunately) a lose/lose situation untill you've found a solution that works better than what's been tried so far.
