I have to say, It amazes me how CCP allow a sub 5mb patch to do this.

1. HIRE DECENT PROGRAMMERS

2. TEST PATCH ON PRIVATE SERVER BEFORE GOING ON TQ

3. ITS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE

4. THIS IS ROCKET SCIENCE

I can floor my companies' primary DB server by typoing a single line of code, and have.

CCP's code is even more complex.

well tbh, CCP does a pretty good job about downtimes. So what if like 30 days out of the year, this happens. All of you forget about the other 335 successes.


you seem to miss the fact that the extension to todays DT, is due to having to deploy another patch to correct what they messed up on Tuesday.


Well I'm SO SORRY that you can't be happy with downloading a free expansion from CCP and not having it flawless. You forget a simple rule about code. If it exists, it has bugs.

Go outside, I bet the sky is pretty, even the one above your nuclear bomb shelter.

Well, honestly, that downtime was not caused by Tyrannis expansion, CCP tried to upgrade their servers enmasse and things went horribly wrong. And by upgrade I mean shut everything down, move everything to a new building, set it all up, and then error test it.

Thank god for baker cat (http://belarr.com/bakercat/) to keep us occupied. (54sec in now) Big smile

He'res a thought... CCP, build some simple entertainment or simple game into the launcher to keep folks occupied during the extended downtimes !

It seems to me that CCP has their heads shoved up their airlocks at times. It reminds me of an Alabama girl having the ability to completely degrade you and put you down and still sound like they are giving you a compliment.

I need my EVE fix, would you please fix this crap so I can go on and play with my EVE toys and enjoy some sandbox time?

Following the deployment of Escalation 1.0,2 we have discovered an issue with static data which will require Tranquility to go offline a little longer than anticipated. We expect to be back up and running no later than 11:50 UTC.

We will use this thread to keep you updated as we know more.

Update at 11:52 UTC - Due to ongoing issues with Tranquility and static data, downtime has been extended to 12:30 UTC



Why should we tolerate this incompetence? When we r late with subscription payments they are never late with blocking our accounts.


*lol* typical moron ...


Guys ! We all have NO idea what's going on, so your stupid comments about them ******* up/etc
actually make you look like idiots... :)


+1 for Solstice Project, my thoughts exactly.
