  1. Getting Ridiculous Now


    So this is turning into day 3 of not being able to do ANYTHING but WATCH TV on my VIDEO GAME CONSOLE. i have paid entirely way to much money for this to being happening. I spend $300+ of Xbox One games and accessories this holiday season and they sit useless
    on my TV stand. I understand the Lizard Squad stuff, but isn't this Microsoft we're talking about? Don't you know your own programs and how to protect them? I expect more out of them and that is why I went with them over Sony, but I have been let down more
    and more over the past few weeks.

    Can we please get some sort of result besides the same "update" every 30 minutes?

    :)

    Set your xbox network to "offline" - it will allow you to play most games in single player, and when you can get back online later your progress should be saved to the cloud.

    The nature of a DDOS attack makes it almost impossible to defend against. It's like a hundred million anonymous firehoses pointed at one spot.

    Microsoft would have to build a server infrastructure capable of handling a thousand times as many users as they actually have. That would take time to build out. BTW, it's been even worse for Play Station users.

  6. I understand the whole DDoS thing. But that was yesterday. Both Lizard Squad twitters said the attacks were done so this is them cleaning up the aftermath. And if a DDoS is a server flood basically then why not take the server offline, fix the issue and
    prepare any and all defenses for the reboot. And I would play single player offline if A) i would have been able to log in for the past 2 days to install them or B) the install would take less than 3 hours to reach 3% which has NEVER happened with my Xbox.

    Im sure it seems like i am just being a whiney *** right now, but i don't pay all the money i pay just to play my Xbox offline. Or to just be able to watch TV while Microsoft takes days to fix the issue. And the reports of the Store being hacked and CoD
    and Destiny being set to free is more than just a DDoS and takes it to a level of actual security. They got into the store, what's to stop them from working through the system more and into actual account information?

    I just want to be able to do what i paid to do, and that is play whatever video games i please, on or offline at my discretion. I mean would you by a car if the only warranty you got was "We are working on getting it running, and i know you don't have an
    infinite amount of time to deal with this, but well let you know in 30 minutes" every 30 minutes for almost 3 days?

    Setting to offline just makes the thing whine about testing the network.

    offline doesn't work if you are trying to play a dlc game like the assassins creed bundle Kinect system that I paid over 400 dollars of my hard earned money for..... and got this system two days now and can't even play the game that I bought the system for,
    I cant even finish setting up my family's profiles and I got a 10 yr old itching to play the xbox one he got for xmas!!! I mean can I at least get A GIFT CARD to buy the disk version of the game so that I can play it while Microsoft tries to figure out how
    to get their systems up and running again??? sorry I just needed to vent
