- Thread starter Agent X

My mate can't get on Live. So they are having problems still.

Same here. I want to try Disney Infinity out. My marvel love demands it
So, yesterday I was able to get on at 7 am Eastern Time U.S. Since I logged when PSN was up, I wasn't booted by the DDoS attack and was able to play online MP till about 2:00 pm when I shut my PS4 down. I did notice my friend list and PS Store going down during that period but it never booted me from online MP.
I started my PS4 at about 10:00pm later in that day and PSN was down and I couldn't log in. Then at about 2:00-3:00 am today (roughly 6 hrs after) I automatically got logged in. PS Store was up, Friend list was not. I was able to play online MP until I logged off, about a hour after.
Today, can't log in. I suggest to people to leave the PS4 on and just hope you get signed-in automatically when it goes up intermittently. Once you do, you "shouldn't" get booted unless you shut off your PS4 or you manually log out of PSN.

This might be obvious, but if, like me, you end up stuck on the dragon age server connection screen, go to the ps4 network settings and disable connect to Internet.
Not a great solution but at least this way you can boot up the game.

So, I'v been away from the PS4 / PS3 / Vita for a couple of days, but I just powered on the PS4 and things are normal. US Account.
Edit: and now I'm online on Fifa 15.

Yesterday this didn't bother me as much because I had other things to do. I have other things to do today as well, but now its really starting to irk me. Why persist? This story has already been picked up on all the major news networks. I get it, you guys [lizardsquad] are so cool and edgy, now give us our PSN back.

It will really try to auto-connect again if you leave it on? I thought it was just a 1-time thing when you turn on the PS4 or login, and then it just sits there.

Updates and downloads(if you managed to access the store) work flawlessly.
It's just the login/license server that's down.

People keep saying stuff like this and I keep thinking, so...
People pay for a service, if we cannot access that service then why should we have to pay? From the perspective of the end user it doesn't matter why the service is down. If the user cannot use what they are paying for then you shouldn't charge them.
I think it's way more understandable that it's happening from someone being malicious than through Sony's incompetence. But if you want your money back for the last day I'm sure you know you can contact Sony directly.

Same here. Just logged onto NA and JP stores on PS3 with no issues.
It's both. Just sucks being someone who doesn't have time or desire at all points to sit down and play some games, but when you do and you can't or you wanted to buy something from the store on impulse or whatever.
This has probably cost them millions over the holidays, I don't know at this point, any online service that's customer base services millions, just seems like these things should be accounted for, if only for them to maintain high loads of normal users, let alone some type of denial of service attack.
I don't know shit about dos attacks

Gotta love my two weeks off being spent not being able to play my PS4 at all. 
On PS4 everything keeps showing that spinning circle. Going in and out of the Live with PS section locks up the system. Yay for online consoles.
Mine did that for me for about 5 minutes then just loaded, dunno why but it'll work

How much compensation is a few days of a service that costs about $4 a month worth?

Like I already said, its roughly thirty cents, nothing that I'm going to email Sony over. With that said how many days is PSN down/"maintenance"/or just running like crap, per year?
PSN needs some serious work.

That's... not how it works.
Same here, the web store has been down for at least 30 hours now.
25th .(Christmas morning) and Whole day.
26th Whole day.
Not able to sign in, update, play on-line.
Not able to redeem codes for games.
Frustrating and beyond rediculous. Just saying.At this point I don't care who's fault it is. Just fix it Sony.And official statement from Sony with some info would be nice.

Should i bother power cycling my router/modem, will it do anything?
How does it work than? I can't redeem any codes I got Christmas and can't play online. I can't even set up my cousin's new PS4 properly. She has been waiting since Christmas to properly set up the damn thing and play.
When Music Unlimited, another Sony service, is down unexpectedly I get an email about how they extended my sub a day because of the downtime.

Not if these idiot groups keep doing what they are doing... no amount of power cycling will fix assholes.

Has Sony said anything yet? When was their last update for us?
You should absolutely be compensated for a service that you pay for yet can't use
