Mass Targeted Area Disconnects on Waterson

[AThreatToYou]

Greetings.

As of Friday, June 14th, 2013 10:13 PM, there has been two mass-disconnects in the area of south-west Indar, two bases down from Hvar [forget its name]. It appears as if TR players are not disconnecting, but I didn't see for sure.

Incidentally, this has occurred during and after an extremely intense battle where aircraft were popping in and out of LOD ~150m away. Could it be the server failing to handle? I might have believed that after the first time, but not after the second time. I suspect h4x.

I open this thread not only to open debate upon it being h4x or not, but also to allow players on other servers who may have experienced this to further identify what may be causing the issue. Whatever is going on, it needs to be fixed... stuff this bad makes people quit the game.

Early on in PlanetSide 2's history, there was a mass-crash exploit that was abused by a TR outfit(s). The trend spread to all factions and really all servers. It was horrible. People quit. They never came back. It took a long time for it to get fixed.

Waterson has been having issues for a couple days now. I just got kicked a few minutes ago. The official forums have many posts about it.

It wasn't just the TR using the old mass crash exploit. Every dickhead used it and some outfits abused it to clear bases before attacking.

pfff

higgles can't you just use your witchcraft?

Yeah I was on the TR side and it happened to us too. Everything was chugging pretty hard too so it's possible it's just the server.

No, you're not banned. The way the client reports login failures sometimes when the login servers go down can be "you are banned" code; it's a long standing issue.

Half of my outfit is enjoying the 3 days 100% boost while I can´t play because I am banned.
I am ok with that because I got the alpha squad boost with 80 days left, but at least 3 guys on my outfit got the 3 days 100% boost and are not playing because of that.
It is strange because everyone got kicked on the same time on the SW bio lab of Indar, seconds after it was captured, I thought the servers were down, but some of my outfit members came to call me to play and I can´t! They also report the server is almost empty, on a friday night!
It might been hacked, maybe it is the microsoft last hope of making the xbox one a success, so they are hacking sony to tell everyone that playing on SOE is not safe, you should get a xbox one.

Dude I logged in to SOE Website.....It says Im banned.


It was weird because at first I pushed play.....made me log in..it said my username/password was wrong...I was like wtf? maybe I forgot my password since it had been a while I put it in.


I got to SOE site....I log in....Im not banned...I could see my account details etc.


I log in again later and it says Im banned on the SOE site........So yeah Im kind of freaked out lol.

On the Planetside 2 Launch Window, it just says I have invalid username/password.

I Was so scurred that I was banned for real lol.

I am back to the game just to discovery that the capture timer and the event timer are not synchronize, we got to the DAHAKA amp station capture point on 11:20 just to discovery that on the last minute of the event, there were still 1:30 minutes left to capture it.
But the best part was:
We deployed 15 Sunderer, my platoon deployed 3, all of then where blowed up by friendlies tank mines.
On the last seconds the capture point was full of friendly anti tank mines and c4, they cleared the capture point to the NC to hold the timer to win the event.
A massive TK example like that should not be allowed, they should banned the accounts that did that and all accounts sharing the same IP that night.

You can shoot your own factions explosives by the way.
