Last night I was disco'd probably 20 times. :bhead Each time, except once, the AI put me back in game. It only showed up as 1 disco in my stats but was very annoying. Finally just gave up and logged off.
Pingplotter showed packet loss at X0.net between my isp brighthouse and verizon in Dallas.
If you have a choice, do not use X0.net as an internet service provider. When I called them up a few weeks ago to ask about the packet loss, they lied about it. :furious When I called brighthouse, they said there wasn't anything they could do about it. :cry
I'm still looking at other ISPs, but it appears the other service providers around here aren't much better. :(

Just keep in mind that all routers do not respond to ICMP so ping plotter may report a perfectly functioning node as having 100% packet loss.

And you know it's HTC's problem/fault how?

Has HTC responded to this reoccurring problem and I just missed it?

If you were to blame me for ebola, would I respond, not likely...
I have been playing since '06, in every case where I had an issue such as this, and it was on HTC's end, they addressed it and issued a mea culpa.
Not trying to mod here, but there is a bug report forum for these kinds of issues. To roast hitech for something like this without direct knowledge of what is causing the issue is silly. Could it be their fault, sure, but simply state "It's a hitech creations type of thing" with no evidence to support the claim ridiculous.

There have been a lot of DDoS attacks in the last couple of days. I doubt they would have targeted AH (seems Blizzard and Riot Games were their targets) but there might have been some side effects that affected the internet. The attackers did take down Battle.net and League of Legends, as well as call in a bomb threat on the airplane Sony's CEO was flying on forcing it to be diverted and searched.

Losing 10% or more at X0.net. Plots are already posted here.

Karnak is pretty much spot on. There have been a huge increase in the number of 'distributed denial of service' attacks in the last week, or so.
Those attacks do not only impact the target, they impact every router between the target and attacker. Really nothing we, at HTC, can do anything about.
If your traffic happens to be passing through one of those routers, you are probably going to experience a disco, or massive warping, at best.

Anyone know who is. Behind these attacks

I think you read way too much into my question, "Has HTC responded to this reoccurring problem and I just missed it?"
Thanks Skuzzy for the answer.

Yes, it is still going on and they are also hitting a few other companies.
Take up a perk ride at your own risk. It is getting ugly out there.

Perhaps. if so, my bad :salute

I know that Charter's DNS servers have also come under attack, just to add to the overall misery.
-
The best thing to do to protect your perk points is to use Ping Plotter to see if there is packet loss between you and the servers. If not, then you can roll the dice. If there is, then don't do it. Those perk rides will be there tomorrow, or whenever this thing gets cleared up.

If other game companys can make i not happen so cam hitech

Other game companies are suffering through it as well. None of the game companies have control over the Internet.
It is not impacting all the players either. Only those who are unfortunate enough for their data path to cross one of the hundreds of routers being impacted by it. It is pretty easy to tell if you are impacted by it, or not.
If this was a server problem, it would impact everyone, quite equally.
If this was something we could fix, it would have already been fixed.
I do know how to fix it. All the Tier 1 ISP's know who it is. All they have to do is contact the hosting ISP, of those who are participating in this DdOS attack and ask them to shut down those users. If they fail to do so, then pull the ASN number from the routers, for that ISP. Ta-Da! Problem resolved.

Can you tell us what that is ?

DdOS = Distributed denial of Service

Hmmm my wife has known of this tactic for a while. :banana:

No problem. :aok

"Distributed"? :devil :bolt:
Nothing personal, just too beautiful of a setup to not knock down. ;) Mine is also well versed in this tactic.

Today, Twitch is being slammed with a DDoS attack. Anyone in those data paths will be impacted.

You do understand that if she would implement that it would either mean her service is constantly pounded by others prohibiting you from getting in - or she's constantly pounding your 'targets' making them too busy to respond to you. Either way I wouldn't brag about it :rofl
