LIZARD SQUAD is Back. Planning XBL Attack. "Biggest attack yet". [UP: XBL/PSN Down]

Just sharing the news: #PSN servers are being reported to be re stabilizing. #Sony doing something right and swiftly for once.
Surprised when the store loaded on my phone. Will need to wait and see what happens tomorrow though, I do hope I can still get my refund to get DA:I on PS4.
 
But life is so cruel, I can't even buy video games online from the comfort of my couch! What ever will I do?

I just love how melodramatic people get about stuff like this.

Oh man, look how above it all you are. Way to go champ. You go on loving this melodrama. Good for you. Have a pat on the back. Have a cookie. Have a free car. You tell them.
 
I wonder if there's been any progress on the anti-DDoS front. Probably won't be until there's a way to discern legitimate server requests from botnets.

This is a gaming enthusiast forum so one would reasonably expect people to get upset over what is happening. Is this event something you are condoning? Or let's take it a step further and instead of a gaming network its something else that matters that is taken out? Maybe online banking or the like. This is a group of miscreants who have made bomb threats and have admitted to terrorist sympathies, so who knows how far they will go. But yes, let's instead focus on how trivial it is that thus person is upset he can't use something he purchased.
 
I know it's not their fault... but Sony's infrastructure is legit the worst ever. They need to be quicker to bounce back from these things once they stop getting hammered.

PSN has been pretty shitty lately even without this extra crap.

My cousin who is a firefighter can't play with his daughter because PSN is down and they barely get any time to bond with her.

But fuck yeah, somebody stating their discomfort that a service is down.

Sure, they went out to do other things this morning, but why the fuck do you care?
 
I've been waiting all year for my Christmas break to play. Had my cousin visiting in town and we were gonna co-op Temple of Osiris. This really sucks; I guess I'll have to wait till next year.

Look how I'm totally above this guy this guy is. You sure are better than he is. Great work. Have a hug. Have a brownie. Have a free train. You call em out.

There's like a million other things you can do with your child other than play video games with them.

That's what I don't understand, like it sucks that PSN is still down but it's not really that bad, you just can't play some video games for two days. It's not a big deal.

Why don't you say what you really feel.

What a thing to post on a videogame enthusiast forum. Are you sure you aren't here by mistake?

Well when it's fucking night-time and they want to play with their kid and can't, it's pretty disappointing when you rarely have time with your kid.

Your lack of social understanding is mind-boggling. Just because you don't have this problem, doesn't mean other people can't.

Yes, my lack of social understanding. Because all you can do with a child is play video games with them.

And I guess physical games also cease to exist now?

Theres, like, a million other things you could be doing right now, but you are thread shitting and being condescending.

That's what I dont understand, it sucks that you lack the willpower or empathy to just not post shit, but here we are, right?

If you don't understand why people are angry or upset why even post and stir shit up? Maybe I'm confused but this is a gaming forum and this is a gaming related issue so I'm sure there's other forums who would love to hear your wisdom on all things not gaming related somewhere else yes I hear them calling you.
 
Well at least when i try logging in (Ps4) with a bullshit Id & password, I get an "invalid" message, instead of the previous error connection message.
 
Damn, lots of sensitive shit going down in here. Let's just hope that this is coming to a close, aye? Relax, folks.

This is not the time nor the place to be pulling this kind of attitude. Take the temperature of the room. People are testy, rightfully so, since we're talking about three days of service outage, during one of the more important times of the year, caused in part by a specific group claiming responsibility for a massive DDoS attack against PSN and XBL. That something like this can even happen, is only now starting to really register with a lot of people, so it can come as a shock and raise tensions further.

EDIT:

Personal PSN status: Vita connects, PS3 connects, PS4 "maintenance". East Coast.
Last known response from Sony support: "We are working to restore full network services for all platforms - thanks, as always, for your patience!" - 8hrs ago.

Well they already came out and said it "they love it". Might as well call it what it is, trolling.

A million different things to do with our time... Said the guy complaining about people complaining about video game issues on a video game forum.

Yeah. Yeah...
 
I don't usually ask for freebies from video game companies when things like this happen, and I don't mean to here, but I have a feeling they (Sony/MS) will do so in some form or another (even though, I really don't think they should). While I don't currently have an XB1, I do believe Microsoft would be the more likely to give away something (a game, a month of XBL, etc) due to the fact that they've seemed to double down in their attempt to get XB1's into more homes via the price drops and, unfortunately for them, this bad press (even if it's not really their fault) could erase the momentum they have been building. Even though they are despicable, I do believe that Lizard Squad might be correct in that people might attempt to return their systems, believing them to be broken. If it wasn't Christmas, I wouldn't expect any giveaways, but due to the fact there was such an influx of new owners, it might be in the best interest of both companies to offer something.
 
They bonded by playing videogames since she was young you ass.

I doubt your parents were posting with you on a forum, so I don't see why you should be posting in this thread at all.

As for a substitute I would recommend a good family board game if they can't play any titles together thats what me my parents and I did last night had a blast.

Tbh, you can probably call them now/when CS opens, and you could get compensation... especially if you're a plus member.

Well, actually they are staying over at my family's house with some Monopoly game they got at Nintendo World Store. Otherwise I'm sure they'd be playing something else.
 
I cant connect to anything, PS3, Vita or PS4. The vita and PS3 say its undergoing Maint, the PS4 just times out.

Australia here
 
Yes, my lack of social understanding. Because all you can do with a child is play video games with them.

You lack any understanding. If you are looking forward to eating at a particular restaurant because your family loves it and you drive all the way there and it's closed.. What, should you not be disappointed simply because there are tons of other restaurants out there? What are you even talking about?

If you guys are going to continue bickering, at least come up with arguments that aren't this nonsensical.
 
So is PSN back up or not?

I want to download Mordor, but the site wasn't loading for me, so I'm guessing no.

Honestly, stfu with this. I'm allowed to be pissed that I'm unable to play games, on my only days off this week, that I am actively paying a subscription fee for. If that rubs you the wrong way, well.. no one is forcing you to read the posts here.
 
My thoughts exactly... are they just wanting to ruin fun and merriment, or is there a deeper angle?

In their interview they said it was to show the vulnerability of Sony and Microsoft, due to them being really cheap and not spending money on security stuff to stop these kinds of attacks or something. Could just be assholes trying to ruin everyone's fun too with that cover-up, not trusting anything at this point.
 
Sure, but I was just branching off of nonsense itself. It is also... 1:00 AM and I'm just posting as I wait for service...

Man, I should edit that.

Or just stop letting your disappointment lead you into arguments you probably wouldn't care about any other day. He wanted a reaction and you gave him one.

Ha exactly what me and my parents did played (Nintendo Monopoly)
