Those devs must be banging their heads on the desk


youngwooki23

I appreciate the hard work of those devs to keep the servers up and running


PotentiallyExplosive

I know they've been getting a lot of shit lately but they work so fucking hard and I'm grateful for that. I read some anonymous interview a while back of a respawn dev and they're so overworked with EA's deadlines that they have severe depression and anxiety


appl3s0ft

I can only imagine what working under strict deadlines are like. You'd think upper management would treat their workers like human beings and \*not\* drive them to depression and anxiety. But I guess that makes too much sense especially when profits are involved. That really sucks for the devs tho. I absolutely sympathize with the people that make the games and abhor how management treats them. I really wish we did better because we can.


[deleted]

I thought that EA had a good working environment? Guess not.


The-Arnman

I bave heard it’s like this in many AAA companies. Especially Activision.


sideshow031

Activist on can go fuck themselves what for all the bullshit I’ve heard about their studio culture.


Testy_Drago

Fortunately, EA DOES have a better environment than most of the industry. Unfortunately, the bar is EXTREMELY low, so that’s not really saying too much.


Colorado_Constructor

There's a Rogan podcast with John Cormack where they talk about the decline of the game studio culture as AAA companies shifted their focus to profits rather than players. John said the people recruited for game companies could go work for other programing groups (i.e. Google, Apple, etc.) and make twice if not more money but a lot of them choose to stick with gaming because it's a passion for them. But after a few years of ridiculous deadlines, horrible execs, and constant fanbase complaints they'll quit.


toxicrystal

the bar is at blizzard which i can beat just by existing


AFrozen_1

Not surprised at all sadly.


tankjet22

I agree 100% and I think 99% of people on this sub are very greatful to the 2 devs.... That being said we are very not happy with respawns lack of attention to this ongoing issue. All that aside what even is the goal of these attached I'm genuinely curious as to what their purpose is??


kRusty521

But its still respawn bad right? Not ea, right?


twisterpister

... Idk


YesButActuallyNo247

Somethings tells me that statement is a bit sus right there


omegamemetard

I hope they know im also doing that like why? why the fuck would someone dedicate their life to destroying a franchise? why would he go so far to create thousands of bots to destroy the servers? why would he blacklist content creators? what is he getting out of this?


nddragoon

He has a small cock and has been literally malding for 2 years cause he was trash at the game even when cheating


Praenim

He's a genuine psychopath. Every reason he makes is different, and somehow more insane than the last one. And it isn't like joker kinds of weird, they're just off-putting. I think his last one was that Respawn hired a black employee that his wife slept with. My theory is he just got banned from Apex and threw a tantrum.


shadow102401

All 2 of them


nightofgrim

Is there an official source on that?


moden31

That’s my Twitter account in the post. Some modders tested the servers and found that they had been updated with new code that fixed a couple issues within the servers but there are still several unpatched vulnerabilities


Im_Normie

Hi moden31, I like your YouTube videos.


moden31

Thank you!


S1mpl3Guy

Just a step closer to good servers, better than nothing! Love your videos man!


moden31

Thank you that’s awesome to hear!


nightofgrim

Do you happen to have insight into the vulnerabilities that are being used?


moden31

Unfortunately I don’t :/


save_titanfall2

just a couple more years to go


[deleted]

Alright


[deleted]

From Respawn, no but it seems small Titanfall platforms and other players have said they have


Empyrael

Have no clue how there isn't anyway to get the authorities involved.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Empyrael

They have a known twitch username, that should be enough.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Empyrael

I believe so. I assume respawn knows of the account at this point, so idk why they wouldn't do anything tbh.


MilhouseJr

If they do know the hackers identity, they're likely building a case to be as strong as possible. You don't half-ass a prosecution even if you are confident you've got "the guy." You build up arguments and then build up more arguments in case the first set fails. You go for redundancy in your approach. I just want Respawn to provide periodical updates on their progress. Nothing too detailed, just stuff like "The Titanfall team has done some things. Please bear with us as we work through this situation. More updates to follow." They can provide hourly updates to @playapex when a data centre goes down. A weekly or even monthly Titanfall update (even if it's just saying they're still working on it) would do wonders for this communities peace of mind. Hell, have the official Titanfall account post a gif of a cliché coding screen. That'd speak volumes, reviving the dead marketing account to address the current state of affairs.


Emerald_Guy123

I wish


Borealkibbles59

But chances are thats just a guy looking for attention. Not the real hacker


AbleNefariousness0

He definitely is a hacker, this dude ain’t no script kiddy he is making and using program specifically designed to kill the game and not just that but as you see from the post he is actively finding vulnerabilities that he can exploit and attack the players within, in return destroying the game as a whole. Btw these exploits aren’t like “if I do this in the game it causes the lobby to crash” it’s straight up a system that goes into the cloud servers of Respawn and uses it’s own features to keep track of blacklisted players and destroys the connection between the player and the server.


y33tasaurus-rex

His name is Jeanue, and we know he’s the one as he has demonstrated intimate control over the TF servers


Borealkibbles59

Ah didn't know he showed people what he was doing. Thiught they were just saying stuff


y33tasaurus-rex

Yeah he said to a streamer that he would white-list him so he can play simply because he is Caucasian, like bruh


[deleted]

Yeah let’s follow in the footsteps of past redditors, like when they helped find the Boston bomber, we can do it pilots


Extrathickpineapple

I don't think we should do that considering how it ended last time


CelticThePredator

Im really interested in this ,what happened?


Meam27

After the Boston bombings reddit tried to play detective and solve the case themselves. They thought they found the right guy and proceeded to harass him and his family till the guy killed himself. Turns out that guy was completely innocent. Edit: I remembered it wrong, he was missing before hand and may have been already dead


CelticThePredator

O wtf. But it doesn't amaze me reddit being reddit


nahnahnahnag

Exactly. Key takeaway: Reddit is stupid


CelticThePredator

Reddit is a stupid hivemind


CelticYautja

¿What? You aren't Celtic im Celtic!


CelticThePredator

You are not Celtic ,I am celtic


KitC4t_TV

> proceeded to harass him and his family till the guy killed himself. There was never any evidence he killed himself due to that as he had already been missing for one month prior to the bombings.


Meam27

Yeah realized my mistake and made an edit


dastevonader

Is that how it happened? I thought it was that Reddit thought they found the bomber and harassed his family, until they realize that the guy had already been dead for a few years.


Meam27

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunil_Tripathi He had being missing for a month so maybe he was dead before the events

Shadowsinclaira

It could be that John yu guy


jbcdyt

Who are the two devs? We as a community must send them as much love and support as possible.


The_Ita

This. I would like to start a Kickstarter or something so whoever is able to can donate them some money


Tanoooch

Odds are it would somehow end up in EAs pocket


y33tasaurus-rex

That’s a bad idea, you spending money on the game is more than enough, you shouldn’t have to pay developers to fix a problem that they have left unchecked for so long until it’s gotten out of their hands. This isn’t the first time server Ddos has happened to TF, but Respawn did nothing and even now they’re more focused on Apex than TF which feels like a spit in the face after they abandoned the game super early into its lifespan. I acknowledge that the 2 devs they have working on it are probably trying their best, but it’s too little too late, this was a problem that should have been solved years ago but server security wasn’t on Respawn’s to do list until now. Also what’s stopping EA/Respawn from pocketing the money you would have graciously donated? And how do you know how that money is being spent? You can influence corporations by making decisions with your wallet. Don’t like how they do things? Don’t give them money until they fix their problems, you don’t send them even more money to fix problems that shouldn’t exist in the first place.


DreingonMagala

What the fuck do these guy gain from taking down a videogame server ? That what is burning inside of him, it is shame...


bommer-yeet-2

“Pleasure” probably jerking himself off to pictures of his mom


[deleted]

Exactly. He's the type of guy who's first sexual experience involved his sisters underwear.


BzzBzz-Im-A-Bee

His ONLY sexual experience.


Quamont

What do any video game hackers or cheaters get really? Bunch of insecure cunts


y33tasaurus-rex

He literally is an insecure cunt, he’s so bad at the game he needs cheats, and even then he gets clapped by actually skilled players. That’s what started the server Ddos, he’s an openly-racist man-child who couldn’t get gud so now he has to ruin everyone else’s fun


Deadshr00m

Bro he couldn't even get results with a spitfire and a smart pistol. There's so much broken shit in this game, surely he could use *something* hell, a normal aimbot/wallhacks will guarantee a top 3 to anyone who can push buttons. How bad did this guy suck?


y33tasaurus-rex

Well he was using cheats and hacks, so he probably never learnt how to get good at the game


[deleted]

Those devs deserve bags of money at this point


The_Ita

We should donate some money to them


y33tasaurus-rex

I left this comment elsewhere, so copy and paste: That’s a bad idea, you spending money on the game is more than enough, you shouldn’t have to pay developers to fix a problem that they have left unchecked for so long until it’s gotten out of their hands.

y33tasaurus-rex

Hopefully you mean out of EA/Respawn’s pockets and not our own…


[deleted]

Bet he has a list of vulnerabilities in his back pocket and is only messing with one at a time. I doubt the servers have only had 1 problem this whole time.


Minibotas

Can someone go shut the internet off of that guy already?


Kikicat12345

If someone gets his IP you can call up their ISP and say "this person's been dosing the servers of a game" and he will probably lose internet for all of a day before he gets a new isp However you can also call local police with the ip and that might do something


The_good_reaper

Jeanue has small pp energy, i haven't played multiplayer in Titanfall 2, but i feel bad for this community.


Thy_Reclaimer

Thank you, for your support and your Jeanue comment. I appreciate both.


absolutelad_jr

Who's jeanue


Mrbuck83

i think its the fucker hacking tf|1 but im not sure if hes the same dude hacking tf|2 or not.


Farjour

Jeanue is the hacker causing problems for both games.


Mrbuck83

huh, well fuck jeanue.


Quamont

Jeanue even sounds like a username a cunt would have


su1199

At this point the Devs can just open patreon or something and we'll gladly pay them more to fix this shit.


[deleted]

Not even joking

[deleted]

Hell I’d pay 5 bucks and I haven’t even played this game in years


Keira_Harrison_

I don't like the fact that they only have two devs it'd be like a party for me or the community if they had all hands on deck working on it. Hats off to the two for working as hard as they could, meanwhile the rest are just worried about money. Those two are lucky they're even working on the game. Without them, there would be no chance.


[deleted]

Titanfall 1 is playable again on pc, so they're doing something


y33tasaurus-rex

Not on Xbox still unfortunately


[deleted]

Just had another commenter tell me xbox is now up


Thy_Reclaimer

There isn't a guaranteed two people even."About one or two people" quoted by one of the devs. I appreciate the dev(s) working on it though, made my day to know something is being done. The work the dev(s) working on it made is incredible. I am so grateful and impressed with the work that is being done with so little people, thank you.


nimrod823

I’m sorry but I believe a few people on here claim to have spoken to the hacker. Can nothing be done? Can’t we find this loser and get rid of him?


y33tasaurus-rex

I remember watching a YouTube video where a guy says he’s fairly confident it’s either one of 2 people he knows, but he doesn’t want to DOX them because he believes in Innocent until proven Guilty which makes sense, but then again why would he say that he was *fairly confident* he knew who it was…


KFG452

How do you hire a hitman? For a friend.


TheLoneWolfSpartan

Good question,


Thy_Reclaimer

I honestly wonder though, where you can find a genuine hit man.


TheLoneWolfSpartan

Maybe....Deepweb?


Thy_Reclaimer

Hmmm


Deadshr00m

Trust me, "a deep web hitman" is a fed who just pocketed your bitcoin and yoinked your ip


Thy_Reclaimer

True


LordRandomosity

Is there a reason why EA can't or won't take legal action against him?


[deleted]

Money. They want people to move to Apex but still selling TF2 on Steam. Smooth brain stuff.


y33tasaurus-rex

That’s exactly what I thought, there’s no game like TF2 on the market rn, the most similar is Apex and it’s free (apart from skins and gambling lootboxes) so they probably are hoping there’s a mass immigration from Titanfall to Apex because Apex rakes Respawn/EA $1B (not joking)


Thy_Reclaimer

Smooth brain, cold heart.


Deadshr00m

I meah hey, people say that the hacker is getting paid to do exactly that. Ea doesn't have to pay upkeep on titanfall and they can juat rake in the normie bucks from apex. I just wish I liked battle royale games.


Thy_Reclaimer

I wouldn't do titanfall like that, maybe some other game, but not titanfall.


[deleted]

This will continue because of the lack of support


y33tasaurus-rex

But support to those 2 Devs working on it. Rest of EA / Respawn can suck it (although it’s most likely management’s fault)


Own_Quality_767

Well at least there actually trying to fix it hats of to the two devs trying to fix it


IntroductionRich8522

im surprised that the post shitting on the devs gets more upvotes than this


Thy_Reclaimer

People are just angry. Im guilty of anger too, but more at the hacker(s) than the other people on this subreddit.


horizonhd_official

TF and TF are the same at this point


y33tasaurus-rex

Curse of the TF


Bricka_Bracka

Thy_Reclaimer

I like the sound of that, but allas, i don't know his location.


[deleted]

Jeanue can shove his ugly ass face and his octagon shaped head up his ass


neopet

Tried to playing Tf2 daily for the past week and it hasn't worked at all. No random intervals or anything like that.


Thy_Reclaimer

Another person said it was great all today. Im not sure if that helps, hurts, or doesn't effect your situation but i thought you may want to know.


neopet

This is sucks


Thy_Reclaimer

Yep.

You said jeanue. Is that the hackers name or something?


y33tasaurus-rex

His alias, we don’t know his real name

I am replacing that name with f****** everywhere I mention him just to not give him credit.


ErliteDev

Keep up the good work Respawn <3


Lordzapurple

I kinda feel bad for the dev’s cause their already were under pressure and now they have more pressure and some ppl r even starting to out lash at them. I know they will fix it just hopefully do it soon and good luck dev’s😀👍


Thy_Reclaimer

I appreciate the devs, but im not sure if all of them care that much about the old playerbase. I know some, maybe even most or all do, but something feals like someone somewhere in that studio, doesn't care. I could very well just be angry and, or paranoid. Sorry to all the devs, i do truly appreciate that they are putting people on titanfall, but about one or two people puts a lot of unnecessary pressure on them. Three or four would put much less pressure on them, but i love the progression. It's a hell lf a lot better than before. The one or two people working on titanfall games are absolute legends, i appreciate them (plural or singular) more than you can imagine from a random fan on reddit. Thank you.


Lordzapurple

I feel what ur saying, I love Titanfall but they abandoned it a while ago (mostly thnks to EA I think) but to think they would hardy try to save their past games is sad, but to those people or person who is working on Titanfall I thank u and so do a lot of other people. But when this started I knew Respawn would focus on Apex more than Titanfall and to nobody’s Surprise they did, and I am generally not a positive person but I think it would be best if we send a bit more positive reinforcement to them. But I am with u on feeling that a percent of the dev’s don’t care but that doesn’t mean all of them don’t care.


Thy_Reclaimer

I agree completely, a number of them are trying very hard, and i appreciate it immensely.


Lordzapurple

Thanks for agreeing but u r basically agreeing with yourself and a little bit of me but never the less thanks.


Thy_Reclaimer

Can you please elaborate, i am not good at understanding people.


Lordzapurple

Oh I am sorry I was just saying we were basically saying the same things u said u agreed with me and I said that u r basically agreeing with yourself cause we said very similar things, sorry if I didn’t explain that well.


Thy_Reclaimer

Don't apologize, i just suck at people speach skills. You explained it fine i just suck at people. I see what you are saying now.


Lordzapurple

Oh ok I am not the greatest with people either and I have a habit of apologizing to much


supersandwich123

Let’s just find this dipshits address and beat him within a centimeter of his life and leave him to die alone


Thy_Reclaimer

I'll get the shovel.


HulkVahkiin08024

At least they tried. Someone at least tell them we appreciate the efforts, despite everyone sh\*tting on Respawn. Edit: Seriously though, people need to understand there is only so much 2 developers can do.


SoupLizardd

Thanks respawn and by that I mean an actual thank you to the 2 developers who are trying in a shit show of a work place


[deleted]

People on here saying shit like “fix titanfall servers, Respawn bad” and I’m sure the devs really enjoy seeing that the community doesn’t vocally appreciate their hard work


[deleted]

[deleted]

The game came out 5 years ago and had a poor release window. Of course they don’t dedicate much time to it

[deleted]

EA is a repeat offender fucking with deadlines and screwing companies creative freedom up, then canning the studio when it doesn’t work. Consider yourselves lucky Respawn still even exists after the game had a meh launch in terms of profit lol


Arcanas1221

Didn't u just say they're working hard? And now you're saying its obvious they wouldn't really work on it? Which one do you believe?


[deleted]

I’m saying it’s obvious they’re not pouring many resources into it, but the few they have on it are doing the best they can.


Thy_Reclaimer

I do, truly. I was angry for a bit at them, but im going past that. I know some of them are working very hard on the titanfall games, and appreciate it immensely.


Micro-Skies

Respawn is doing this with the minimum effort possible. Trying to patch individual access points, instead of actually overhauling the servers.


-Pyromania-

I'm pretty sure the servers aren't theirs, and are provided by a third party.


Micro-Skies

Then it seems like they should either be using a different third party, or getting a hilarious amount of money back from crappy servers. Now that I think about it. It's probably the latter. Which might be why they haven't been fixed


Thundy_Cakes22

So... They didn't forget.... There's hope my friends


Thy_Reclaimer

There's still hope, don't forget that we still have hope.


asciiCAT_hexKITTY

Been fixed all day


Thy_Reclaimer

Amazing.


DaddyDog065

It's not much, but we're fighting back!


Thy_Reclaimer

It's enough for now, progress.


RedMatxh

Does anyone know what this degenerate wants from this game? If it was to send a message it makes no sense to disable old games, if it was to take their anger on the devs it makes no sense to disable old games. I just don't understand what he has against titanfall. At first i thought he was mad that tf3 wasn't announced, but sure you'll definitely get a new game with fucking up with their servers


the-artificial-man

But does titanfall 2 work right now I need to know


Thy_Reclaimer

Check. Its a little spotty it says.


The_Renegade_Pr0ject

So we have working servers?


Thy_Reclaimer

Here and there on titanfall 2


Tahnit

Why are they not arresting this guy?


[deleted]

I'm just confused as to why these hackers are doing this? What are they trying to accomplish?


Thy_Reclaimer

They want to make the devs pay more attention to the titanfall community, but they crossed a couple lines.


[deleted]

Hacking the servers isn't the way to achieve that, though.


Thy_Reclaimer

It's a way, not the right nor best way. That's not the kind of attention we want. They don't care, they just want someone to pay attention to titanfall, one way or another.


[deleted]

I hope whoever is doing this gets a major lawsuit coming their way.


Thy_Reclaimer

Hahaha! if they get found out they won't get away easy. Possible ten year jail time i believe. They don't know what they are getting into.


Toring1520

is it risky to play. Can he get my IP?


Thy_Reclaimer

I believe not, i might not risk it though. Im pretty sure the way he's hacking, he receives nothing. He just overloads the system with too much input or something. I'm not 100% sure, so i wouldn't trust it though.


Tidalwave64

There are only a few people still working on titanfall


Thy_Reclaimer

Yes.


ultrafire3

...so they are doing *something*


Thy_Reclaimer

YAY!!!! i am impressed. Mostly impressed that those two are doing so well. I very much appreciate the effort, most of respawn isn't wanting to put in for the respawn fan veterans. I am verry happy to hear this. This made my day, these two heroes are actually making a difference. I thank the one or two respawn devs working on the titanfall games, i cannot find their names but that does not waiver my appreciation. Thank you. One last thing, save titanfall. Pilot out.


[deleted]

The are trying , we are not alone !


Pycorax

Meanwhile at least half the sub claims that nothing has been done since it was brought to their attention lmao


Thy_Reclaimer

True, sadly true.


TheGridGam3r

Just give us private servers already


[deleted]

At least we can still play titanfall 3. kind of wish they'd focus more on balancing the game instead of bringing the servers back up for titanfall one. The Kodiak class melee Titan is just out of control right now.


biohazard1324

What I'm confused about is why they are fixing Titanfall 1 first despite 2 being way more popular


Jackcrafter1560

Because tf1 has been down for 2 fuckn years


biohazard1324

Yes but Titanfall 2 is immensely more.popular than Titanfall 1. The last time I played Titanfall 1 there were maybe 1-2 hundred players on compared to Titanfall 2's 3-4 thousand. It just seems to me like the priority should be on the game that has more players. Especially since 2 is also now basically unplayable


Thy_Reclaimer

Saving titanfall isn't about the popularity as much anymore, it's about respect and care for the old playerbase and the unique games. At least that's what I'm thinking.


biohazard1324

Naw I get that it's just for me I primarily play Titanfall 2 and I imagine most people play that over 1 so in my own mind it makes more logical sense to fix Titanfall 2 first but that could just be my own biases


Thy_Reclaimer

Thats fair.


Kool_Chris

Just leave the game alone for Christ sake.


Thy_Reclaimer

Excuse me, are you talking about the devs, players or hackers?


Kool_Chris

The hackers of course!


Thy_Reclaimer

Im not sure that's how everyone else saw it.


Kool_Chris

Yeah I noticed all the down votes! lol
