Thread: Now this is just HILARIOUS!

  1. #1

    Default Now this is just HILARIOUS!

    So.. you guys experience a DoS attack and KNOW most people cannot login but allow the people who are online to stay logged in and play.

    Why does this matter?

    Ask the poor guys who have been trying to log in all day only to eventually get on and will find their Lv10 cities taken.

    I hit a couple people and wondered why they weren't defending themselves, now I can see why.

    This is the tip of the ice berg for this issue. Just wait until people see how much they lost as a result of this blunder.

    I will gladly return the city to people who lost it as a result of this, but there are many who won't.

    You guys really need to improve your crisis management- its pretty pathetic that you'd let this happen.

    Meh think of it like some one has you held captive. And you really can't get to your city and then go out side and breathe in some fresh air.

    what?

    First, I can get to my city.

    Second, the point is, people that can get to it can attack those you advise to 'get some fresh air'. As a result, weeks or months of work can be lost in the matter of a couple hours.

    If you have complaints about the game, specifically the fact that being able to log in is currently disabled or bugged, post in the BUG REPORT FORUM.

    If you have suggestions for improving the stability of the game and/or the servers, post in the GAME SUGGESTION FORUM.

    If you just want to have idle chit-chat about what you think is right or wrong with the game, post in the GENERAL DISCUSSION FORUM.

    This forum is for players to ask questions about the game or gameplay and to receive answers from the player community (and any moderators who choose to answer).

    Griping about something on a public message board won't solve any problems, especially when the people who have the power to correct the problems don't observe or maintain the message boards, for the most part.

    On Most Servers (Both Ages) / Playing Since May 2009

    So I was supposed to know that, even though there is a Technology Prefix for this forum and it's called the Help / Questions forum? Laugh.

    I was able to and am currently logged in.

    I don't need to provide suggestions for game stability because as you've so eloquently noted, the people that develop the game don't even read their own community's forum.

    Since my post was more of a HELP than a question, I feel it was very suited for this forum. I am, in fact, helping you guys to see that leaving the servers online for some and allowing the DoS attack to keep others out, is killing your professionalism.

    Don't believe me? Wait and see... you've already started to see a slow down in traffic, aside from the DoS traffic, that is.

    In Sara's defense, I can completely understand why she doesn't want to read this stuff. As a moderator, she doesn't have the power to really solve the issue, so listening to complaints definitely isn't a fun job for a volunteer.

    Regardless, it still makes no sense to suggest the company developing the game doesn't use the forum as a sounding board for suggestions & help. They do read it, a lot more than the moderators will apparently let on. Why have suggestions forums if they didn't? Why have a support forum at all if it's so cut off from the game? How would they receive bug reports when their servers are all DoS'd? How would they get feedback that the problem is way more wide spread than they anticipated?
