There was a post on Reddit, the team has been under attack. Not many specifics, but it was effecting game servers and the website, to my knowledge.

Not everyone reads Reddit. First thing i did was go to the Facebook forums and found nothing but the boonie hat addition lmao.

It appears we experienced a rather extensive attack on our architecture last night. Mitigation is underway. Service should be functioning

It's truly amazing how rocket and the team completely ignore these forums and yet readily respond to people on twitter and reddit.

 

Why the fuck are we being treated like our opinions don't matter?  Why the fuck is rocket too cool to respond and actually post things on the official fucking forums?

At this point we should realize two things. There is a 'dev tracker' section in the forums thats reasonably accurate, and that the developers dont post here and do post on twitter and reddit.

 

From this realization we can determine that we should stop looking in general discussion for developer posts :)

It will be children playing with the Ion Cannon DOS tool because they lost a character or find the game too hard or are WarZ supporters. People are stupid.

I think you need to take some meds... you appear to have a serious case of ''self entitlement disorder'.  The best thing for this is to get outside and see what the real world looks like.  

 

Not to mention you are talking out of your sphincter.

It would be hard to post on forums when they're down though, wouldn't it?

Well, the forums were down for around 13 hours going by the gap in posts (nothing between 5:40pm yesterday and 7:20am today). In that time, the dev team was tweeting as usual, without a single mention of the forum problem. I fully suspect not one of them looked at the forums in all that time, so they didn't notice.

 

I mean, I understand this forum is full of crap and a nightmare to follow. But it's still the official one.

Not quite, they were unofficially down.

 

For them to be officially down would require some official announcement of the downtime (say on twitter)

Or ... it could be some data handle issue with where ever the forum is hosted .. because I know plenty of forums that just periodically shit their SQL load issue over everything like a nasty case of diarrhoea and go down for a short period til some one gets up and notices.

Doesn't bother me at all and if it were me, like most developers, you wouldn't hear a god damn word for years at a time. Btw, your opinion doesn't matter to them. They know what they are doing and they are building the damn game.

I am honestly disgusted by Twitter and Reddit as a communication medium. They both somehow manage to be popular and yet such a pain in the ass to read. It's truly a shame that the forums aren't more frequently visited by the developers.

I still think whole heartedly they needs a community manager to deal with the community as a whole but you know that's just because that is what I am used to from a fair few other companies.
