OrLoK 16182 Posted December 19, 2014 Hello there Its not the forums that are under attack at the moment. Service *may* be disrupted here, we just dont know. But if everything is working then all is well forumwise. For the moment just be aware that your gaming *may* be hindered/disruppted somewhat.

So if I play dayz right now, there is a chance that something will happen? like character swipes/high ping/lagging? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also cant brain sometimes. Worry not. Rgds LoK 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SmashT 10907 Posted December 19, 2014 I'm sometimes a extremely dumb person. So if I play dayz right now, there is a chance that something will happen? like character swipes/high ping/lagging? I'd assume if the game servers are up, they won't be connected to the central server (since it's down), so you will start fresh and your character won't save and if you are playing when the central server comes back online any previous character may be overwritten. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death By Crowbar 1213 Posted December 19, 2014 I know there's probably not a ton of information on this yet (I checked twitter and a few other places) but has this ever happened before with DayZ SA or any of Bohemia's other games? The next question is wondering who ticked off North Korea by pretending someone they killed and ate was Kim Jong Un... :lol: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is what I needed to know; if DayZ was safe to play right now. I'm not going to play it for awhile or at least till they are connected to the central hive.

Richard III in Leicester 200 Posted December 19, 2014 Maybe this thread might shed some light for you? http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/161740-dayz-standalone-ddos-attacks/ I think it has happened before but hopefully it should be back to normal in the next hour or two.... Tho that is a bit of a guess.DDOS attacks have happened to our service provider where I work. One of the occasions it was back up to normal speed after a few hours, another occasion it took days.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dagwood 680 Posted December 19, 2014 Depends on how much the client is paying for the attack. A larger network of computers launching the attack can "shuffle" the attacking forces and stall how long it will take to resume service. Likely, this is a small attack and things will be back to normal shortly. Of course, I just did a google search and am completely talking out of my ass so, there's that too.

The next question is wondering who ticked off North Korea by pretending someone they killed and ate was Kim Jong Un... :lol:Most of the attacks I see are coming from eastern China, not the Korean peninsula. Interesting. Nice that the hackers timed the DDoS attack for the same day BIS released a buggy patch.A "buggy patch"? Isn't that every single update for whiners like you? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
