There are too many losers out here. Hopefully they can track these guys down and report them to the police.

I remember getting ddosed at mgo, ppl made a big deal of it but.. I just disconnected my router&everything was fine, i also wonder what the police can do about ddos? Oh and whoever ddoses probably has some fake ip on i guess.

You should read up on RFC 1087

http://tools.ietf.org/html/...

Legal actions can be taken because of DDoS attacks. Fake IPs only go so far as well.

Not if you get one in china and bounce it off a china or russian server. They Dont care about petty crap about a video game server going down. China has there own hackers and gross intellectual property thieves to take this crime serious.

Yeah, but China will execute a hacker if they deem it appropriate.

[awi5951]

Over a video game they are paying them to hack us defense computers the arent going to care about this.

Crap was just about too jump online.

[GameCents]

I can't decide who could be responsible

Denial-of-service attack

Basically, cock-blocking the gamers by using a bug.

It seems for one to really enjoy this game, you have to do 3 things.

1) Don't go on the Dust514 forums.

2) Don't go on Metacritic. or don't look at any reviews for this game.

3) Cover your ears and sing "lalalaala"

Been on since day one. closed beta. Game never was great. But if you find something fun about it, You'll find yourself coming back. I like building my gundam. But I'll say that all the low scores it has gotten, it deserves.

And what happened, it was only a matter of time. The discontent about how dust ended up was a powder keg ready to explode.
