Player Features and Ideas Discussion

No idea, but at least you're giving me an actual event as an example. I've honestly never had a ddos related disconnect in the entire time that I've played EVE(7+ years), and it's never been a problem for any corporation that I've been a part of during the time that I've been members of those corporations(which is a very very lengthy list).

My sample of experience flies in the face of everything that has been said prior. Plus, the CCP post could easily be taken out of context. In the sense of irresponsible technical munchausen, when it's really just their own short comings.

But at the very least you're providing me with an actual event rather than straight up hearsay. Just first hand hearsay, but I'd be willing to trust yours.

I believe that whatever fit on your ship should not work against a disconnect protection measures.
Because disconnect protection efforts are metagame mechanic but your ship fitting is only your ingame concern.
Like assume I went to the supermarket and eventually being denied of service because I'm wearing a red T-shirt currently.
But the current disonnect protection mechanic via emergency warp-out actually prevents some ships and some fits of these ships to be "disconnect protected" properly.
Maybe there's a need to make some changes to what happens ingame when disconnect happens to be protected regardless of anything

You would get reaally surprised how things that should be simple get messily complicated in a software 10 years old that has been patched by 100 developers and the ones that did the initial code are gone..

It was stated earlier that a ship that was scrammed cannot safe warp because the ship cannot respond to the one and only safe warp command issued at DC. My experience proves that to be incorrect and if the server can override a scram then it can and should override the bastion and allow for a safe warp. Despite claims to the contrary this would be a easily fixed, why you may ask and the answer is simple. Once the client has DC'ed the servers are in complete control of the situation and that allows CCP to do what is right for the player.

In case there is some unimaginable difficulty in correcting this through the safe warp mechanic then the servers should adjust resists to 100% for all damage types in effect making the ship invulnerable and have unlimited cap.

To cause players to lose ships in a PvE situation that they have no control over is, well I can't use those terms here so we will just go with idiotic in the extreme and leave it at that.



Then you are an extremely lucky person. In a little over 4 years in the game I have experienced at least 3 DC's caused by DDOS attacks, at least CCP says they were DDOS attacks.

It has been asked but never answered. Is there a valid reason why a PvE ship with bastion running should not safe warp?
Is there some game breaking exploit that this would make possible?
And NO working as intended is not valid reason, it is simply your opinion. However if you are in possession of some form of proof for the statement of working as intended then please share the link.

Honestly, your response makes me think you're justifying other inadequacies in your hardware, ISP, or location by latching onto the word DDoS. Mainly because I could select 10 people from my contacts list and they'd all say, "What, really?"

While I won't deny that the recent DDoSing might have caused any recent disconnects for you. I sincerely and fervently believe that the rest of those disconnects that you mentioned are probably among the group of people I mentioned earlier that can't tell a switch from a hub.

And maybe we should quality you on the group of people that are extremely arrogant, way abouve their real knowledge?

Some of us are developers of other complex softwares, and still we do have disconnections. Even with hardware and ISPs as good as money can buy.

So shut up, the fact that you have not faced somethign is NOT evidence of the non existence of that event
