Far more than that, it's happening to most all of the american guilds. Looks like mAT = down at this point =\

People have been DC'ing during mAT's since the start. It's amazing how only recently the GvG community smelled something was off.

Regardless of whether or not DoS attacks have been used in the past, the current attacks are much more aggressive, occur more frequently and will be used during AT's whether or not they are fighting you.

Like many people posting in this thread, I was very skeptical myself when it started happening to my guild. After a week of dealing with the same reoccurring internet connectivity issues at "convenient" times during AT's, it became obvious that foul play was involved.

I was able to change my IP and have not been targeted since then. Whether or not it has worked, it's unfortunate that there are many people that live on campuses or apartment complexes that are unable to change their IP.

Would love to see something happen but I frankly don't believe it would be possible. We are dealing with people living in another country without any hard evidence. I installed a network protocol analyzer on my machine but I highly doubt they are dumb enough to use their normal IP's.

When you have a pattern of guilds dcing vs one particular guild and that particular guild isn't dcing. you have ddosing.

There is a big difference between erroring out of Guildwars and your internet connectivity taking a crap.

link to the official statement that GW got a Ddos.

If all of your friends jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge, would you? If you happen to be a lemming, unfortunately, the answer is a resounding "YES."

There will be no "official statement". These attacks have little to do with Anet outside of people spreading bad links in game. Not sure where you are trying to go with the Brooklyn Bridge thing...

I don't know if the DDOS is based off static IPs (cable), but if you reset your router and your ISP uses PPPoE (FiOS, DSL) your IP changes.

It's a big problem for comcast users.

Every person that I have played with that has been attacked has had a static IP address that cannot be changed with a simple modem/router reset.

and as always if u really want to be safe from ddos attacks... get some proper router that can sense and ban addresses attacks are coming from...

its really common sense in todays world...

and lets face it, before u tell me that u cannot defend against every ddos attack out there...

true, but think who is attacking you and at what lvl of knowhow...

kids that play gw dont have skills to pull of sophisticated attacks like the ones cnn or sony etc are getting hit by...

so... any moderate 40$ firewall or old unused pc that can run linux can be setup to defend u against those kinds of attacks...

so if its really true what u say about ddos taking place atm at mat... not really that i noticed but ok... well wait for the finals and find out...

u must agree with me that if no1 dc's in the top 8 final matches that theory has no ground and its a empty qq...

and btw... ppl dc every day in HA... every day i get atleast 7-8 dc's from ppl in my party... random ppl, random countries, random times... mostly at the start at zaishen...

omg... zaishen are ddos-ing us... anet doesnt want anyone else to get r15... what do e do... what do we do... its the end we are all doomed... qq more...

Honestly you sound like a one of the Serbian trying to make the topic go, off topic. x) Or a troll. I dunno. Either way, I know a couple of people who could easly hack others account if they wish to use their knowledge for that, that play Guild Wars.

I think it's pretty serious, you obviously don't? Well, I hope this gets sorted out. And I agree on banning them all, perma bann. Don't mess with dhuum?

They only bother to collect IPs from people they would otherwise expect to lose to.

A lot of cable users then

One thing players with router/modem setups can do is to change the MAC address on their router (or their computer if hooked directly into the company-provided modem). This will force the ISP to automatically assign a new IP address to that router/computer. That's one work-around for those who are with cable companies who seem to issue eternal leases (like mine). I had to roll my MAC address three times to get around the ongoing connectivity issue across the AT&T hop in Dallas that's blocking connections to NCSoft servers.

It's obviously not going to work for those on external networks like colleges, apartment complexes, etc. but anyone running on a home network with admin access to the router should be able to do it.

And with this statement the idea of law suit goes down the drain.
I wouldn't expect any legal action to be taken vs this event.

Well, im 1 of those

i link the url into ally chat to check if others had the same, i say'd do not go to this site, still got perma'd..

lets hope they unban the people who got it just by showing a ally/friend what he got, and that they ofc ban/ip ban those people who are trying to DDoS in 2k11 to try and win ladder/at matches (LOL)

Unfortunately, no. The attack works regardless of what your router does with the packets. Whether it forwards them to your PC or simply drops them, it is spending processor cycles deciding what to do with them in the first place. Send enough packets to it and the router won't be able to sort them in real time, and the packets from the game server will be lost in the shuffle.

Can't they just take way the trim and give it to the runner up?

Or, if this is such a problem, will it see widespread use?
