Alexander. Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 DDoS threats are common whist playing multi-player. Some just like trolling but then others take to the extreme by acting on there threats and turning them into a promise. How do you deal with this? Has a hacker/modder ever managed to trace and take down your internet connection, what do you to prevent this from happening? Luckily for me it's never happened and I hope to keep it this way.

It hasn't happened to me personally but I have played multiple MMOs and seen take down a whole server.
UleTheVee Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Well, I haven't been DDoS'd in my entire career and that's saying something

Alternatively, is gaming just an interest rather than a full time self employed job? Either way, do you have any prevention strategies to prevent a Disturbed Denial of Service Attack? Prevention is better than cure and the best way is to ignore the internet trolls in the first place, in my opinion. Edited January 16, 2019 by xXInfectedXx

Turning a hobby into a Job is anyone's dream. I played Overwatch, TF2, Smash, Street IV, Street V, Tekken 7, and DBFZ. Currently I am playing BBTAG and Smash competitively and organize tournaments. As for how I work, well, I'm a freelance journalist who takes benefit from the awful economy of his country. If you are in the states, I will tell you that taking gaming journalism will be hell on earth.

Team Fortress 2 is a pretty solid one and I haven't played any of the more recent Street Fighter games.

skyfire Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 I personally have not faced any such while playing the game. I am guessing the lag experienced in the PUBG and the Fortnite has something to do with it? I am guessing many chinese players tend to do DDOS in order to win the game. I am not sure how the attacks affect in the game as well. I guess such things often happen when the gamers prefer cheating over fairplay.
