You have said that our personal data has not been touched and i'm happy about this, should we change our psn password anyway?

this game is awesome... i tried to go back to playing cod during the downtime... i couldnt. maybe there should ba a P vs computer player, training mode in dust for when the servers are off or i have no internet i can still play dust.

I got disconnected and now the server's unavailable again. Anyone else? Is it the daily downtime or something else? Thanks.

Wouldn't hurt IMO. I change mine every couple of months anyway because of being hacked several years back.

admit it, you guys tried to nerf the tac rifle and it fought back.

and Jhakl, i dont remember clearly from too much booze at the time of happening, but this is the exact reason why EVE players keep LONG skills in queues during and shortly after patch times... 40 day skill queues came in handy more than a couple times in EVE a few years back.

though i admit, it is unusual that TQ gets DDoS'd, i dont think i can remember any times actually... i wanna say forums have been knocked out but i never used EVE Forums, and i dont recall it shutting down the game

Oh so true. Been there in my many years of EVE play back then. 2-3 month long skill trainers wr always queued up when a patch day waring was known. Hell i thought I broke something posting to the one crying about being selected as a Templar but couldn't get their high number kills without their SP spent in the class armor or whatever. It was a sad read and I hit the post button and poof it all went. I think it was about 10:30 ish or earlier give or take central US time when it all dropped.
Just I think it's a sad thing when so many jump demanding compensation for unscheduled down time. Fees in EVE i understand for extended downtime. But on Dust being free and free... they need to just stop.

Wow...really? At least they announced comp. Don't see a reason for it. Well at least on the dust 514 side. But you will have many crying and demanding free stuff for not being able to play a free game. Go figure... One day isn't a funeral. take it as a server side patch. No biggie there.

yeah i dont remember the exact patches that were awful, i spent a lot of time in a perma-drunk state, was in okinawa at the time, so id get off work, crack a beer, throw in a queue before patch downtime, and wouldnt log back in for like a week... got a couple of my chars gall drone spec 5 doin that...

and yeah, the templar event... though i can understand the sentiment that they 'shouldnt be whininging because gear is a crutch' ... but at the same time... it made very little sense to me that these first gen templars were so gimped... the empress wanted them on her side, they must be good right? theyre first gen soldiers, they must have a lot of experience right? they knew everyone was gonna be out for their blood after the empresses declaration, they must have confidence in their capabilities right? all i really saw from CCP was that they didnt want proto tank templars running around, and 2m SP was their solution... or that they didnt want to hand out OP chars... that were to be deleted after 3 days... not to mention the PS Community templars probably needed the proto-crutch, assuming they had little to no experience with DUST 514, it would be interesting to know how many of them actually played their rounds or just simply ragequit.

i understand the need for some kind of compensation. now i have not had the chance to log in yet as i'm at work, so i cant verify the accuracy of this, so if anybody is in the know please feel free to correct me. But if i had just purchased a passive/active skill booster, would i not have lost a full day from said booster during the down time?

if the answer to that is yes, then that is real world $$$ (Aur) that i'm out of pocket. it may be a minuscule amount of money, but it is real currency nonetheless. that would have to be compensated for.

how exactly? im interested to see. However I do like, and commend CCP for, how they have handled this unexpected turn of events, and their pro-activeness in addressing any potential fallout.

I haven't logged in either, and I don't know for sure how the Passive SP system works, but I'm assuming that to save server resources it would calculate the last time you played and then give you those SP when you get back.

Guys, no. Dont go busting yourselves trying to give us compensation. ItGÇÿs not your fault people are f*cking immature assholes who have nothing better to do that sit at home at 35 in their mothers basement making everybody else miserable because they canGÇÿt get laid.

Honestly, best option is an SP event similar to the one we had just before Uprising was deployed. It helps everyone equally, helps newbies out of the low SP mire, and will sell a ton of active boosters.

Guess it's back to being killed over and over again. Seriously though, this is a good reason for people to have multiple hobbies. I went and drew a couple of pictures, updated my tumblr, went on a walk and read some books. Now, back to video games.

As for Templars being horribly gimped... that's because we no longer have the Amarr Empire behind our back and need to buy our own suits and weapons. Please note that 1) We are no longer getting paid, quitting an Empire does that, and 2) we have to buy our own stuff second hand because no one wants to look like a sympathizer.

BTW, thanks CCP for all your hard work.

I will donate one of my testiclz (after I'm finished with it) for a 3x SP week.

^I had to edit *********, lol

Hey CCP if you wanna pay us back on dust how about a a BPO for hack speed on dust? i thank it would be perfect for what happin!

In this insanely cynical, pop culture world I hope that we at Eve and Dust would be greatful for all, and yet expect none, I support you CCP, your effort in this game, and in gaming in general. No compensation needed CCP. Unless of course you could get a few of us alone with the hacker???

Every good dust player gets there cap by friday night.

We have a word for those people

Saw you AFK like a boss in the only match I played today

Well from someone who is in a senior position of an infrastructure team at a stock exchange, all I can say is congratulations to your team on dealing with and mitigating your issue is such a professional manner outlined in your post - these issues are never easy and you can only prepare so much.

I personally think that in this instance as a dust player (and eve player) - that no reward of any kind is really required, however like everyone I'm sure free gifts of any kind would be most welcome - but again not necessary.

I find this level of transparency of what was affected and not affected to be admirable given the situation and can only de-risk your business activities further.

well done.

I like how a lot of the replies are GÇ£the only people who lost out are the people with the weekend to playGÇ¥ as though it doesn't matter. It does matter, I work from Wednesday to Sunday and so I go nuts on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday to reach the cap, almost all of my gaming days were affected by this and so I lost out on the 200k SP and countless isk I would have earned.

As for how CCP dealt with the situation, kudos. Except now not so much as the issue is being ignored...

LMAO WELL SAID,,but I think they want to compensate for active booster time since its measured in days of running AUG time,,,but still,,love the verbal beat down u gave,,,get'em bro lol..
