Forum barely reachable

Battleborn Battleborn General Discussion
#6

Lets put it this way. According to the main forum page, Battleborn has posted 30 new threads today. Thatā€™s more than 10 times what the daily average has been for the past week. Weā€™re all flooding those threads at an astonishing rate, and weā€™re all trying to follow those threads as they update. Iā€™m waiting for some ISP to flag it as a DDOS attack or something, because weā€™re hitting this thing so hard that the company servicing the connection has started rerouting requests

ā€¦ oh, and on top of all that traffic, Borderlands 2 and Pre-sequel dropped updates today as well, so those boards are going to have increased traffic as well. GG

Tl;Dr? its swamped to a level over 9000

I find if I open a new tab with the topic it works, but if I try to just navigate to the new topic on the same tab, I get nothing. Running chrome.

#13

Same.

#14

yeah that works thanks for the hint, hope it satbilizes soon

#15

56 new topics? Really?

#16

Yupā€¦usually happens with betas, especially when the beat forum doesnā€™t seem to be up :stuck_out_tongue:

#17

Probably server overload. I can imagine the huge traffic going on since the Closed Technical Test has gone live.

Poor forums! :frowning: They need to get a better server with 8 cores! :wink: 300 gigs of ram.

#19

More like 300 TBā€¦

At least there is activity on the forums here, I was doing a closed test a few moths back and there were only a small handful of people posting and then just a even fewer of them posting on game issues.

true though it would be easier if there was activity without the forum breaking

#22

Yeah, forum breaking activity is bad for business. :wink:
