I have been in CCP's shoes before (large distributed system, extremely vocal user base, unexpected downtime). CCP in general does an excellent job dealing with a very hard problem.

So relax...

If you're going to reset EVE please reset it back to the time when you could get Guardian Vexors and T2 BPO drops from rats. Much thanks.

Oh, and Myrmidons with no bandwidth limitations. BS pilots dying to a Myrmidon tears are very sweet tears.

30 minutes to eat pizza?!!! I hope that meant 6 pizzas each or I will have lost my faith in CCP.


It is a job man, they get breaks. Breaks actually improve efficiency so don't even ***** about it.


Errr, have you had a sense of humour bypass or are you just an American who doesn't get humour unless you're smacked in the face with it?

The point wasn't that CCP shouldn't be looking out for the welfare of their employees, or that devs shouldnt have food, it was that if I was the paying customer of a company whose service has been unaccessible for over 6 hours (and I am), what I'd like to see to give me confidence is a detailed explanation of the problem and photos of people WORKING on it (even if they're having pizza at the same time), not pictures of devs hanging around a table having pizza with a game room in the background. Maybe I'm less hipster and my idea of PR is different but not really what I'd post with a mass of pissed off people on the forums.

Otherwise noones expecting people to work like robots. Though robots will likely be replacing us all soon enough.

Oh and a bit more detail on what's going on would be nice, we're not technical morons here, most of us can actually tell between our software and hardware and our frontends and backends (hopefully most people can generally tell between the last two).


And he actually tries to defend his douchebaggery. He's got stones, I'll give him that.

I'm just going to ask this again because someone has to do it.

Is it *really* that hard to do a total backup of a cluster before you upgrade it?

I'm not upset. I don't really care, but *REALLY*? Is it *REALLY* that hard to do a total backup of your servers before you do the reboot into uncharted country?

I really don't see what the issue is. You can't dictate where they take their breaks or how, and none of us can ask that they don't take breaks. Hell they're busting their ass obviously, I wouldn't mind if they took 3 hours to eat pizza and play ping pong as long as it meant they were in the right state of mind to do the job right. Don't get all enraged because they don't show you pictures of the devs locked in a dark room bent over monitors with blood running down their eyes.
