GREE strikes again

[Mcm2013]

Another failure at the start of an event. war starts and connection issues followed by can't login to the game

GREEdy's EPIC FAILURE

[Shadow Demon]

I LOVE GREE!!! wait no I don't. Get it working or cancel the event. These constant screwups are pathetic. Stop working on new stuff that won't work anyway and get the basics of the game fixed!

[Rob TRK]

You are all assuming it's GREE. There could be other issues with DoS attacks in the service or a number of reasons. I've managed to get in briefly with both accounts. So the servers are working...

Lmfao. Omg

Can I have some of what you're smoking?

[Candyflosser]

The poster is referring to a technique usually referred to as a DDOS (distributed denial of service) attack. But players reporting group me being affected is more an indication one of the internet core backbone routers or DNS servers are the more likely culprit. Yes GREE screws up plenty but this one seems to be a problem external to GREE

I don't think so Candy. I have two devices on the same network. One is able to connect, the other is not.

[Captain Buck Slayer]

yes it could be that, boom beach and clash of clans are also not working for me.

[Biker]

Yep, servers are working as we declared and then most of our faction could not login. Just tried again and we have a loss from not being able to fight. Seems the other faction managed to score 20k points though ffs

This is BS Gree

Scrap the event

[Silent Killers Clan]

Why not just stop the 24 hour WD until the issues are resolved?

[Oceanz]

I got in to Clash just fine. This is a GREE problem. As usual.

Groupme stopes working 10 mins before war to

I don't think so Candy. I have two devices on the same network. One is able to connect, the other is not.

If the service (loose terminology....) uses clusters on different IP ranges, this is entirely possible.

[Rob TRK]

I'm smoking 30 years IT experience in various roles... I've managed issues like this for major organisations. Does that help...

[Candyflosser]

Then you are aware that Internet core pathways have gone down over the years that affect all kinds of applications. MW uses a set of connection servers, similar to how Google uses map reduce servers (they had 200 map reduce servers) that then direct searches to clusters of hundreds of thousands of servers. Google services have gone down. If 20 of the 200 map reduce servers were taken out via DDOS then you would have behavior similar to what you are seeing as a retry will randomly place your retried session on 1 of the 200 map reduce servers with a chance of being placed on a working or non functioning map reduce server. You can say you worked on IT systems for 30 years so act like it. The last major US blackout was caused by a single monitoring computer alerts being missed & cascaded to take electricity down for the entire northeastern US.

Locking as there are several threads on this topic.
