Agree, never have seen such moronic attempt before.
First telling the world what they are up to, next do a bunch of pings and as a result UBI's server crashes?????

Com on ppl, don't believe every thing so easily.
Keep thinking.

Hoax or not at least someone is willing to continue the fight unlike alot of people here.

Carry on people if you can play then do it.

I am still waiting for them to hack UBI and delete your saves. Talk about a roflmao-copter.

Just so you know - you're not fighting in my name, all I want to is play my game when I want to.

Also I doubt many save their games online now - I know I don't , so there would be very little to hack into I would imagine

with the right software you can have one computer sending many pings a second to a server. add in a few more computers and the job is done.

@gimpy117

Well, according to that screen shot they used the sophisticated batch file approach.

I was under the impression that, that was the main reason behind their wonderful "have" to be online to play idea, which was to give the player the ability to save the games online. Its possible I may have misunderstood. If so that's good for the ones who bought it as it is one less thing you have to worry about. As for the simplicity of how UBI's servers crash, that is another issue all together. But I doubt this is serious.

Yeah there's a option to disable the online saves. It still saves - but to your computer.

I think I read somewhere that the online saves where unreliable, but I just didn't like the idea to be honest.

After the server crashed by ping overload, the Ubi-tech are trying to figure out how to fix the issue.

Also after watching the mods, I am seriously thinking that the modders are more skilled and smart than the lazy pizza eater's developers at UBI.

But then Ubistank will have to close their doors and SH series will die....oh wait... you mean the hackers

server do not have to answer a ping request and do the other activities well. If this was unprotected then it's a quite a lesson for ubi. But why should we suffer because of that? I'm wainting for offline mod.

That would be nice. What jollies does someone get from attacking a server or making a virus. It is a damn inconvience and sometimes a monetary inconvience when you need to buy a program to get rid of a virus. I'm cleaning up my girls computer of a virus. It is damn frustrating. Hopefully UBI will throw in the towel on the next patch and be done with this DRM.

If we are gonna dream...dream big I say.

I would think Starforce would have taught Ubistank a lesson.... yet they now implement something 100X worse...didnt think that was possible.
