Look, I want to tell you something because you're very dear to me. And I hope you understand that it comes from the bottom of my damaged, damaged heart. You are the finest piece of ass I've ever had and I don't care who knows it. I am so glad that I got to roam those hillsides.
UPDATE: I was just able to log-in to the NA server (hope I don't jinx myself) O_o
I am certainly not a computer expert, so I'm wondering...with these DDoS attacks...can they happen anytime? It's a pain to want to go play HS and find out, oh another DDos attack; especially when it's down for an hour or two.
I'm not blaming Blizzard, but I hope this can get addressed so that the game is available when we want to play it.

Here you can find a quick summary what the DoS/DDoS attack actually is :
Denial-of-service (DoS) attack is an attempt to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users . Denial of service is typically accomplished by flooding the targeted machine or resource with superfluous requests in an attempt to overload systems and prevent some or all legitimate requests from being fulfilled.
A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) is where the attack source is more than one, often thousands of, unique IP addresses. It is analogous to a group of people crowding the entry door or gate to a shop or business, and not letting legitimate parties enter into the shop or business, disrupting normal operations.
Just now got kicked from game and timer went ~2 minutes...

Betrayer... In truth, it was I who was betrayed. Still, I am hunted. Still, I am hated. Now, my blind eyes see what others cannot: that sometimes the hand of fate must be forced! Now go forth... unleash the tides of Doom... Upon all those...who would oppose us.
Also getting kicked after every game I play. Very hard to log in as well. Takes a long time and asks a few times to enter your password or that there is a queue and you need to wait etc. Fairly annoying
Is there any defense against DDoS or can the future of online gaming be destroyed by a small group of morons?
There are things they can do to mitigate the damage, but it will do just that: mitigate the damage, not stop it completely. Unfortunately, the trouble will only really stop when the morons get bored and find somewhere else to play their stupid games.

Well either they cover up their tracks or they will go into prison, since DDos Attacks are an illegal act.
Yeah, I hope NSA, FBI, and CIA as well as Interpol and other organizations crack down on all cybercrimes including DDoS. People that perpetrate these crimes definitely deserve to rot in prison.

It still says Battle Net is down and i can not log in.My friends also have the same problem and can not access client or site.
We are currently monitoring a DDOS attack against network providers which is affecting latency/connections to our games.

This DDOS shit is getting old. Hopefully they can fix this and then prevent it (?) in the future.

Take a look at my card creations here in vojza's mini expansion topic.
Thanks to everyone for the replies and info. to my (probably) stupid questions...

You did not answer my question. Is there any defense against DDoS?
Not something that you can do since it's server based attack.
It's happening right now on EU. It's been like this for 2 days already. -_-

The classic tier: Reno Jackson | Elise Starseeker | Brann Bronzebeard.
I can probably log in every 2 minutes for 1 minute. Awesome, I can't even make a deck.
Blizzard's best joke so far :
Working fine for me. (US server)
i hope they fix this before the adventure wing is released

Should you craft/disenchant (Golden) Sylvanas or Ragnaros?
Find out in the: ULTIMATE dust guide for Hall of Fame cards
Yea i can't go online but my friend is. It's weird atm.
It's back on EU.
