[ArrThePirate 13]

From the official Dayz twitter:

Services have now been restored thanks to solid efforts from Ander and Viper. Although there may be additional outages at any time.

Lol the massive ban-wave by BattleEye seems to have ruffled some feathers.

The only thing slightly annoying about all this is everybody calling these people "hackers"

Renting a decent bot-net doesn't make you a hacker' date=' it makes you a rent-a-bomb faggot.

hacker, script-kiddie, scumbag, all the same, it doesn't matter anymore. the term hacker used to be a compliment for some exceptional skills with the keyboard, these days it makes you look shady and untrustworthy.

so, who cares - at the end of the day its just one sad prick going nuts on the internet, noone will talk about it tomorrow, while we will continue to play dayz.

And at least twice as many mistresses.

This message is strange... as i see there's nothing to "restore", it's more like: "when the kid gets bored, the service will reprise, but it will go down again whenever the same guy has nothing better to do...".

There's no realiable way to stop a DDOS attack, you may eventually filter certain sources and do packet filtering, but you won't go far, you only need to hope the attacker get bored or that most of his botnet goes down. This is why the DDOS attacks are the most hated ones: they can be used by a 12yo kid without any knowledge, and it's pretty hard to stop (or impossible to avoid) for the victim. It's like giving a nuclear weapon to a monkey.

Down..

[vincenthuebner@gmx.de 1]

how about a server roll-back?

Since noone was able to play anyways (25% of players lost all gear)

[Jemoeder 51]

You must have so much to do in your life to DDOS DayZ , Damn! Everbody is proud mr GreenArrow the invisible one.

Instead of DDOS' ing DayZ Start DDOS'ing Sony or Microsoft when you do that we will Clap for you

I don't think Greenarrow understands that he is fucking with a major gaming company..... I will be the one laughing when he gets arrested. BIS arent stupid, they will find you...

No. Some things were solvable, including what makes you read this post.

Is anyone still getting "Waiting for character to create"? I'm getting this on all servers

[pekhe 4]

It's still down.

Some kid is having fun.

[hawkygaming 43]

I guess a kiddie is having fun.

This is fucked. Just got put to -230000 blood by a zombie in 1 hit 20 yards away

[Fiskbatch 6]

I will send you my bill for 1 Lee Enfield' date=' one hatchet, hunting knife, watch, 6 clips for the Lee, 2 cans of beans and 4 pepsis.

In all seriousness, though... its more fun FINDING the stuff than using it so... thanks for your hard work and no harm with the loss of gear.

Anyone who is complaining about losing gear probably deserves to lose it... it means you had too much ;)

What you are saying makes no sense. If someone values something, that person deserves to lose it? Shouldn't it be the other way around?

[simple69 3]

Down again... what a wasted day off :(

[vanrosemont 26]

ah. this explains a few things :)

[vonlinchen 26]

Ah well at least we can take joy in the fact that this kid is super mad because he got banned for using scripts in game

LOLOLOLOLOL UNLUCKY FAGGOT xD

EDIT: Also hes paying money for this rofl jokes on you buddy HAHAHHAAA

[Askur 1]

[Caine Hollow 5]

Maybye DayZ team can restore server to point where attack take place?

maybe you shouldn't play the game while the servers being DDOSed? Only half decent thing I see in that picture is the NVGs. Chopper Crash sites ftw.

We found 7 in an hour yesterday :D

Miro, please understand that we are sorry and do care, but at the same time just can't use the time we have on restoring over 100.000 characters, we simply have too much going on to do so.

[hank rearden 0]

If the Script Kiddie is identified I vote you post his pertinent details like name, address etc. publicly to the community. That way, the closest of us to whomever it is can just go eat him. Eat the hackers. Problem solved!
