Does this affect Trophies earned because I feel like I should have gotten a couple since it has been down.

No, because trophy data is also stored into the console and therefore it is sent to PSN when the server is available again.

 

[Megatron]

I'll be home in two hours. Fix your shit, Sony.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Mobile app ain't working either

 

[jimi_dini]

Just a reminder that PSN is free.

Is it?
I'm pretty sure it isn't on PS4.

 

[impact]

What do we even pay for? The servers are so damn bad.

Sony need a new PSN infrastructure team or something.

Just a reminder that PSN is free.

PSN is not PS+

PS+ is not PSN.

lmfao it's not free. You can't play online without it.

 

[Jomjom]

I say we start the # PS4nopaidonline movement. This is ridiculous.

 

[Topi]

I can access Driveclub servers even though I can't access PSN. COD Ghosts freezes while booting. PS Store works normally. This is the weirdest outage ever.

 

[Einbroch]

Is it related to the DDoS attacks or just incompetence?

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Is it?
I'm pretty sure it isn't on PS4.

I can buy things from PSN without needing PS+

The mutliplayer is PS+ I believe.

 

[jbug617]

you guys are fast

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

Just fired up PSO and connected fine.

Gamecube Network is unaffected.

 

[Blablurn]

you guys are fast

I would watch that movie

 

[NeOak]

Just a reminder that PSN is free.

PSN is not PS+

PS+ is not PSN.

Free for browsing the store.

If I want to fucking play multiplayer on PS4, I need PS+.

 

[Booker Dewitt]

Just a reminder that PSN is free.

PSN is not PS+

PS+ is not PSN.

Multiplayer on PS4 is PS+.

 

[Flandy]

Download speeds have been horrible for the past month or so too.

 

[lordxar]

This sucks but the last time it happened I put down FF14 and finished TLoU so it's not exactly the end of the world. This time it's not playing Destiny and either racing in Driveclub or torching bodies in Evil Within. Good to have choices!

 

[Exr]

Yeah so I can only connect to people that are local to my country it seems. Weird.

 

[atomsk]

Did someone say un-bear-able?

 

[Jomjom]

Is it related to the DDoS attacks or just incompetence?

What's the difference? Even when they get hacked it's due to their incompetence.

 

[v1ncelis]

Where's paid service quality at?

 

[Kensuke]

It's ridiculous how many issues PSN has. Even if online is working I'm always having issues with friends list/invitations/messages/parties.

It's a mess.

 

[Boke1879]

Yup I see the trending topic here on twitter for the US and I'm seeing people RT others talking about it. Sony REALLY needs to get this shit together.

Because honestly. If they have no way of trying to resolve this issue before the holidays. I'll be buying an XB1 and gladly play online games on there while only buying exclusives for the PS4 until Sony sorts their shit out.

 

[Chill Penguin]

7 years uh? guess you missed December 2012, December 2007 into January 2008 then.

Almost. It was mostly rock solid for me. I went from a 360 to a PS4 which i've had since launch. Love the PS4 but PSN pales in comparison to XBL.

 

[Straid]

This is getting frustrating.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

What's the difference? Even when they get hacked it's due to their incompetence.

A DDOS attack is not hack, I thought this was covered in the last thread?

 

[Sanpei]

1080p ultimate gaming console...If psn is up....


Our Raid plan with friends is ruined...Nice

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

#4ThePayers

 

[jimi_dini]

Sony is pretty nice to let people do that.

The mutliplayer is PS+ I believe.

PS+ is what you have to buy to use multiplayer functionality on PSN via a PS4.

 

[Melchiah]

Huh, it worked just fine for me a couple of hours ago here in Finland, when I played Destiny and Driveclub. The messages were slow to load though. Apart from this monday's server maintenance I've been able to play online whenever I've wanted to.

 

[Footos22]

What's the difference? Even when they get hacked it's due to their incompetence.

ddos isn't hacking.

 

[DevilFox]

If I only had a PS4 I'd be pissed.

Same.
I already said this (you know, there's a thread about PSN problems every 2 days.. ) but I don't care about their 2.0 or whatever, this is a disservice.
You PS4 owners should do something if you feel pissed off. Flood them with hashtags of complaints, just to start, they can't keep going on like this, it's insulting.

 

[Indrid Cold]

Why the fuck do I have to bookmark a Japanese twitter to get updates on us psn? They really need to fire Chen and the rest of the dead weight at scea. Spend some of that ps+ money on people who understand how to run a network service.

 

[Tenck]

7 years uh? guess you missed December 2012, December 2007 into January 2008 then.

That part you totally missed was "almost." Though go ahead, ignorant of what you quoted and read what you want to read.

#PlayStationNotWork

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

This is quite terrible, and it's a paid service.

What were they thinking, that they could pocket all the PS+ cash without investing on better infrastructure?

 

[SkylineRKR]

For a Pay service this is unacceptable. This is becoming a running gag.

SCEE is also down.

 

[immortal-joe]

PSN has largely served me well, especially since the onset of PSPlus

These issues are clearly related to them simply underestimating the load that was going to hit them. Incompetence, pure and simple.

 

[Einbroch]

What's the difference? Even when they get hacked it's due to their incompetence.

DDoS =/= Hacking. DDoS attacks are incredibly difficult to combat. Riot was effected by them a few months ago for many weeks and I don't think they ever got them under control. The group simply stopped attacking.

The downtime a few months ago was due to DDoS. I don't know if this is an attack or just incompetence, which is why I was asking.

I keep telling people this. Even put the twitter names of a few Sony execs in a previous post.

If people can. Tweet those people this thread and ask them what they are going to do to fix this.

 

[Reule]

Just came home and it's down...again? Unreal. We just had maintenance.

 

[SimpleGamer]

I dont even remember me having this many problems when the shit was free.

 

[Leafhopper]

What were they thinking, that they could pocket all the PS+ cash without investing on better infrastructure?

Of course.

 

[xxracerxx]

What's the difference? Even when they get hacked it's due to their incompetence.

DDoS attacks are not hacking attempts.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Just a reminder that PSN is free.

PSN is not PS+

PS+ is not PSN.

C'mon man.

But yet MS was also DDOSed and didn't suffer anywhere near what Sony did.

 

[Majmun]

Thank god I don't play online games. I'd be pissed otherwise.

Sony really needs to get their shit together with PSN. It all seemed to work pre-Destiny.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

So, that money PS4 owners are forced to pay for multi-player and the better infrastructure that was supposed to come with it as a justification should be paying off at any time now, right?

PS+ is great and all but for fucks sake.

 

[Dunlop]

Shit I actually had some spare time and was heading home to play

Seems the issues started with the launch of Destiny. I hadn't had any real issues until then. Still they need to get this shit sorted and FAST.

What do you think will happen when COD, GTAV, AC, Far Cry, Thanksgiving and Christmas come about?

 

[Jomjom]

Geez Sony if you can't even provide a decent online experience, go back to making online access free and just include a couple more free games to justify PS+'s cost still. I never had any issues with the PS3 online problems because it was free.
