I just got DDOS'd on emerald

[Usurper Slurper™]

VS were spamming low pop flails so I went around destroying bases, at one point around 2am, I got the better of two players, they completely ran away out of the norm and suddenly my ping skyrockets to 600 and my entire house loses connection.

My normal ping is 41/56.

Two very likely scenarios /s

Use of a leak of _temporary_ leased IP addresses on the same day OP plays the game or a hacker who was able to compromise the game server and chooses a DDoS as his go to attack method.

Right so it was not a denial of service attack then by the 2 Vanu guys. It was in fact a loss of connection from the ISP. Ok case solved. What a shame you can't say sorry for making ♥♥♥♥ up. Also why on earth would any ISP give you a refund for a tiny loss of connection like that. It happens all the time. They refund you like 1 dollar or something.

I have a feeling you're the one who actually doesn't know what a ddos attack is.

Nope - I know what a Denial of Service Attack is (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial-of-service_attack) and it is an attack aimed one machine or network. You are saying these guys did a DDOS on your network. That is simply impossible unless they hacked Day Break and they hacked your ISP.

Why can't you just admit you are wrong and made stuff up? You were not hit by a DDOS attack.

no its happens disgruntled players that get there backside handed to em so they resort to this crap . game is just staying afloat best to let wrel drown this once gem turned dumpster fire.

No that is not true either. It does not happen. You are agreeing with lies.

daybreak does have access to ur ip by the way
all they would have to do is hack daybreak site or it was leaked by daybreak wich wouldnt supprise me with how pro commie daybreak is

Do you know how incredibly difficult it is to hack into a live service company? You think Day Break host their servers on their own grounds? No they will be using AWS or something similar. To hack into one of those you would have to have an insider. It is not the 1990s FFS.

"Pro Commie" - er the USSR was disbanded in the 1990s as well. And no they are not pro commie...

Get a grip man.

Both scenarios are entirely unlikely and practically impossible. So no Kent, please learn about hacking before posting this kind of response again.

I guess i have to work on my sarcasm if not even the /s tag is enough to identify it

[Freedomshot]

i as not aware of the /s thing

live services are hacked quite abit among other things like ddos data theft do i need to go on or do i need to belittle u more?

Sure an idiot attempting to "belittle" someone with non-rebuttals to their argument is pretty funny.
(See I can do it too)

[Kydyrium]

got to love the insults and arguments people get into over nothing

lol u know how many live services are hacked in a day around the world well not a small amount and it happens . to me ur the one who knows nonething of wich u speak.

Services are hacked yes but not the users of those said services.

There is no fan bois here, just people calling out peoples BS about being DDOSed.

short u are also one too see u on every thread defending all the is messed up with this game

Oh dear you went and researched someone so you can make a personal attack... weirdo alert!!!

I uninstalled Planetside 2 along time ago for multiple reasons but the main was that connectivity is very low. I average between 50-80ms globally across all the games I play and when I have a consistent connection to my ISP in which there are no outages in the area I can play my library within or even more than 12+ hours without having my internet go down.

But the problem I have with Planetside 2, among other games like Runescape, Battlefield, and Halo; it's noticeably too easy for someone to acquire your IP address (obviously through very illegal methods), and use that to send a lot of packets to your internet. It's not far-fetched to believe this is possible, and it should made to light that it IS possible when a lot of people on the Planetside 2 community are also complaining about the same thing but aren't making it a public thing because there's nothing that can be done other than to not play the game at all.

You can see how many people are getting DDOS'd on Runescape. It's day & night especially in the Deadman mode where top YouTubers/Streamers are getting rekt by DDOS.

Same thing with Halo.

Another game I forgot to mention is Grand Theft Auto V. With how users can spend $100-$1,000 USD on a MOD menu that allows them to mimic actions that 3rd party hackers can do like force your entire game, freeze your game so you cannot do anything including Alt+F4 function being removed from your computer (as I had to use a 3rd party app that used CTRL+ALT+F4 to forcibly FORCE close your applications for when ALT+F4 doesn't work).

Anyway. It's normal to assume to DDOS, but to say that it's impossible is naive at best. Because it's actually quite easy in today's market to acquire someone's IP address and then denial of service their internet. For people to think it's not possible, it just never happened to them. But of course if it happened to them, they'd change their opinion.

Planetside 2 doesn't exactly have any good preventive measures. Their anti cheat of choice has allows hackers through, they haven't even done anything about that, while still releasing new content. There's still a long list of performance issues, & a lot of optimization that they're neglecting. And on top of the cash micro transactions they're implementing, assume that people are stupid enough to give them money when nothing that's addressed on their forums are getting fixed. And let's not even talk about PS4.

At the end of the day though, I am a victim to DDOS from multiple games, where I believe it would be hard or impossible for someone to do that. But I find it odd that my internet can throttle up to 1,000 ms without a trace to the cause.

And when you troubleshoot including talking to your ISP:

- no one was downloading any big files
- no one was streaming content at 1080p or higher
- no one was broadcasting/video recording/or rendering footage
- no one was playing games like Battlefield or Call of Duty, at the same time I was playing Planetside or Halo, etc;
- a LOT of bandwidth is available to me; easily over 100mb/s and as one sole user in the household, I find it were to assume it's because my internet is &&&&
- no outages in the local town/neighboring cities
- neighbors across the street have internet (as confirmed when i asked them)
- contacted ISP to see if they could find out the cause, just packet overload is all that comes up on their end
- they reset the gateway/i unplug my router dozens of times; still just packet overload
- reset/renew ipconfig
- request a new IP from ISP, still running into attacks on my internet

And there's more to add to that list, but it's just a matter of facing it. If the hackers know where you live, acquiring that IP is easy as counting to 3.

For anyone to think this is all rubbish & impossible, is probably among the hackers themselves.

Here's the issue: Your client NEVER receives the IP of another client from the server.

So to get your IP they'd need to actively access the PS2 server, a simple hacked client doesn't have this functionality.

You argue a DDoS attack is easy and common, without ever explaining the methodology that would make it easy and common in Planetside's particular setup.

wow nice photo shop there

do, do you think quotes are images? I'll forgive the all lowercase, photo, space, shop but the fact that you think Photoshop is even, vaguely, relevant makes me think you think quotes are images.
