MattScott Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 Hi everyone, I’m sure you have noticed consistent outages in APB since Christmas. Unfortunately, we have been getting hammered by a new form of DDoS attack, and it is taking our networking team time to work up and test a new defense. For the time being, I’m going to put the servers on Mitigation, so at least things are up and stable. I honestly hate turning on this form of mitigation because it adds significant latency. Apologies. Bear with us. Thanks, Matt Edit: Apparently my network engineers have determined that the large Citadel crash this morning was an issue with our provider. We’ll keep watching things. 10 4

NotZombieBiscuit Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 If I am ever on mitigation/life support, pleas pull the plug.

Welcome ExpectoPatronum, I appreciate the sentiment, and DDoS is no joke. But this community has a twisted sense of humor. I take most of it as them just making the best of a bad situation. Thanks, Matt 15 1

When a community has been lied to and left in the dark for years sooner or later they become toxic. It's not your fault, its the "previous owners" fault.

IDK man, my earliest memories of APB are of absurd levels of antisemitism, racism, and bizarre dark or lewd humor, back in the RTW beta days. Heck, the sense of humor's built into the game's writing. I'm pretty sure we've always been this way.

What is wrong with calling out 2% of the population for being over represented in certain areas that subvert and undermine western society? 2

Farbon Ciber Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 "During this time, we will be stopping the clocks on your Premium so it is not wasted" Yeah, I know its not your fault, but I did pay for Premium and my expectation is that I get to use it This is now the second time this week, where I actually had time to play that I cant because I get disconnected 1
