EVE General Discussion

don't worry, ship lost due to this will probably get replaced by ccp, just petition it, and allow them time to handle this, cause they will have many many of those to handle, and no doubt they will.

regarding compensation, i don't think it being required, but knowing CCP, they will probably do something anyway, so stop bitching at em, let em have some rest for now, they deserve it.


i don't hesitate to yell at em when it is, imao, deserved (bugs and stuff), but here, there is NO REASON at all to show anything but support at their efforts handling this

Would be nice to get 24 hrs reimbursed, but nothing else is required really. They didn't DDOS themselves. So thank you CCP for fixing this as fast as you can, I am sure you did your best. Hope that I can play tonight and I am ready for tomorrow. I wish everyone a solid roll-out of Odyssey.

When I saw instability in the game on sunday the first thing I did was put a skill that takes a few days, predicting that something else could happen. Actually did not expect the problem to be solved as fast knowing it is a ddos.

So there was only one problem, my dear Vindicator spent the night in the street and was a bit cold, she's a bit upset

Thanks CCP for your hard work

Well....

Why would they ddos themselves?

You self entitalment types need to just go away, CCP pulled an all nighter dredging through the entire game line by line on a weekend.

The only gift I want is the name of whoever did this. CCP dont owe us anything.

While I do appreciate CCP and normally support them (fanboi) this situation was completely avoidable. They took all of the servers down because there was a patchable exploit in their infrastructure. The keyword in that last sentence is patchable. We (collectively) pay them lots of money, and this sort of flaw in the platform should have been identified before its too late. Yes, I know some exploits are 0-day and such, but since they patched it it had to be an exploit that was on someones radar. Suggesting someone gets a raise because of this is the opposite of what should happen tbh. Someone should get a yelling at and possible termination for not being on top of security.

That said they did not stay up for us, they stayed up because its their job. They could not work around the clock to get the servers patched and expect the userbase to keep paying them. Now CCP isn't a giant machine, and I am sure a lot of the people were sympathetic with us because they do also play the game, but even if they weren't i'm sure it was an "ALL HANDS ON DECK" call from above. I know I have been in situations similar where sure, I want to make things available to customers because it sucks for everyone things are down but everyone is working on the problem because that's what they get paid to do.

I really do appreciate the information on why they took everything down instead of the bs line about this being a DDoS attack. That is what agitated me most yesterday was that they were blatantly lying to everyone about what happened. Glad to see they came clean about the issue today!

I do also agree with the decision to shut everything down to figure out what the hell happened and get it fixed in how every long it takes before bringing it back online. That was very responsible of them, and I appreciate them protecting my information ;)

This a million times. I'm the first to call CCP on their bullshit. I think the launcher is a useless piece of garbage that provided a bunch of drawbacks, and broke something that worked perfectly fine before, adding not a single benefit. But this weekend's events were not CCP's fault for one. On top of that, they handled things exceptionally. I heard DDoS, and I was expecting a week of downtime or more, because a DDoS can be VERY hard to mitigate. This is the time to give CCP some well deserved praise, not undeserved hate.

Knowing that the update is due to roll out tomorrow, I would like to suggest every player puts in a nice long skill to train...

You're ********. It was definitely a DDoS attack. The attack took advantage of a (until now) unknown vulnerability in their servers. They took the servers down to evaluate the situation, and make sure customer data had not been compromised, while also working on a patch to remove the vulnerability. CCP handled the situation very well, and you're a jackass for claiming otherwise. Go back to WoW with your entitlement attitude. See what happens when your 2000 man WoW server gets DDoSed. Bet it's down for a month.

With the greatest of respect, CCP team are highly trained competent team of skilled software and hardware engineers, they should stand a better chance at protecting there networks than the poorly trained low skill operatives employed by a government.
