Played a match of Reach and watched an episode on Netflix on Xbox one this past hour. Oh and downloaded bc games. This attack didn't effect me or I just missed it.

Its easy to claim responsibility when things go down. Then again, it's easy to acquire botnets too. Who knows what happened.
Couldn't do anything until I went into network and disconnected from live. The. I was able to watch a bluray and play some Fallout.
Something about this specific issue makes the console think your connected but keeps checking and then alerting you. Kicking you out of games. Seems fishy.

Still not working for me 
. Booted up Halo 5 and after a few moments in the menus it brings me back to the Dashboard and says I need to be online. I also can't make this Xbox One my Home Xbox as I have two in my house that share digital content between them. So looks like gaming is out of the question for me tonight...

I think that was Anonymous, Phantom Squad are the ones who are supposedly attacking Xbox Live (and maybe PSN). But whether they are really the ones behind Xbox Live being down, who knows.

If PSN goes down magically in the next hour or so they probably are. They said they were doing that next.
Cunts like this are the reason for these even bigger cunts.
The way searches are failing and so forth it feels like a ddns attack...things aren't down they are more...unreachable

Yeah, I read some of those tweets. If they are responsible, then I don't understand it. There are far better things they could be spending their resources on, like ISIS.
Wait I can do that? Would Banjo Tooie, SUnset Overdrive or Mega Man Legacy work this way? They are all offline games and if I can play Sunset Overdrive right now, that'd be cool

Their resources couldn't do shit to ISIS. Whatever they could do, anyone of us could. Nothing they are doing is advanced hacking or anything like that. It's just mass flooding. Nothing worse than a few script kiddies who think they are invincible. Sad how bad LIVE and PSN are this gen.

It would have been nice if the recent big update removed some of the bullshit always-online remnants and hooks that were left in, stuff that would prevent you from playing a game. If all of that was gone and the new consoles started rolling off the line up-to-date with no need for the initial update, I would get rid of my current Xbone and get a new model on the first day.
Last year when LizardSquad was doing their shit on Christmas I was unable to play games even after "going offline." It kept telling me to go online or set my console to my "home" console, even though it has been set as the home console since it was first booted up. I had only had the console for weeks and had bought almost 30 retail games on Black Friday but it wasn't a good introduction to the Xbone for me. I've made clear here my frustrations over not being able to play some games if it detects a patch; I couldn't play Killer Instinct for over six months because while I was temporarily connected to XBL up where I work in Greenland, it detected that there was an update for KI. After disconnecting from Live and going offline, it wouldn't boot the game because it said it needed the update. I couldn't download the multi-gig update OR the full game again though on the incredibly awesome Greenland TelePost 20GB-capped, barely-qualified-to-be-broadband Internet. Pins and achievements require the Internet for whatever reason (it's a dumb reason, whatever it is). And now I have to jump through hoops to watch a blu-ray.
But man, that original game-sharing plan they had cooked up for their always-online box would have been something, wouldn't it have? It would have been totally worth all this!!!
*grumbles* Stupid digital future...

I blame the OP of the bearded virgins thread.

Same problem here, my own digital content fails I was like wtf is going on with my xbox one!? Then I read the fake wannabe hackers living in their mother's basement squad was buying ddos attacks again. No server on earth could withstand this shit so not sure what they are proving other than they need to be enjoying all the free sex in a jail cell
That was my first reaction.
I read that as
"That was my first erection" and had to double take.....drinking and full party sparrow racing is fun.
Had my physical destiny disc thankfully lying around to play since I own digital.
But this shit is annoying.

So it's not limited to the States. Weird that it's not affecting me although I'm sure I just jynxed myself.
You want to know something hilarious? If the original policies were in place, everyone here would have been good for a 24hr window before the console started screaming for a connection.
Just a thought.
Yes, although you may also need to set your Xbox itself to "Go Offline" at that time in order to avoid it constantly attempting to validate your licenses and throwing the error up anyway.

I was able to access the store and am installing Thief now, but the whole thing feels choppy. Sometimes it would give me an error message like "Content not available" or something like that.
It's not like I'm going to be playing anything right now (have work tomorrow and have to study for a final), but it sucks for others wanting to play a game.

working for me now, took about 7 hours but I can finally play my games
Sweet thanks, as long as I can prevent this next time and still play my offline games then that works for me. Itching to play some Sunset OD haha
A wrong thought, because there's zero evidence that it was the changes that made this happen.
I fail to see how trying to make the system less reliable on an internet connection made it more.

Having difficulty downloading Thief, and can't do Ark or play Battlefront. Oh well, probably an issue Unrelated to those wannabes.

Well not everyone. I wouldn't own one if the original policies were in place. Sure I can get use out of my console here in the states right now but I am not going to buy something that I can't use for 8 months out of the year while in Greenland.
