Hey guys,

As you’re all aware, Tranquility is still offline after today’s scheduled daily downtime.

This is due to an issue with a code deployment today while patching for a few fixes in EVE Online. The issue caused the cluster to fail to start up correctly, and as such, Tranquility is currently unavailable for play for both EVE and DUST.

Our operations and development team are working on this issue as we speak, and we’re hoping to have Tranquility back online for you guys as soon as possible.

Right now, we don’t have an ETA for when the cluster will be back online and accepting connections, but we’ll keep you updated in this thread.

Cheers,

- F

I was going to respond in a different manner.. However, I have decided to write a serious comment about our gameplay experience and this downtime in accordance to this page that the game sent us to. I wake up every morning, take a poop and think about how many kills I'm going to get, who I'm going to scam, and how many tears I will create throughout the day. After said poop, I spark up a spliff or a bowl and start smoking (don't judge me).

I start listening to music, usually Taylor Swift or Justin Bieber to get get all prepared and ready for my day on eve. After I sit my fat ass on my computer chair which is kinda hard for me to fit because as I said I am fat; and I turn eve on. What do I see, my login screen where it asks me to input my password (so annoying) and then of course the UGLYEST button in ANY game in the UNIVERSES. THE @#(*$ PLAY BUTTON. LIKE GOSH could you have made it ANY MORE UGLY? REALLY?

Anyways, I digress; I click on the mentioned UGLY ASS BUTTON and wait for my characters screen to load and then, BAM!!!! I see a message telling me that I can't connect to the server?????????????? LIKE WTF???????????? So I go to my go-to site to test my internet (Porn hub/Midget section) and I can see all the midgets doing it and getting at it. OBVIOUSLY I HAS INTERNUTS.

What could be this HORRENDOUS ERROR?? So, I go back to the UGLY BLUE BUTTON & ANNOYING PASSWORD page and I click on that HORRIBLE button again. Seconds later I get THE SAME MESSSAAAAAAAAAAAGEEEEE LIKe REALLY???????? You can't put another message????

Something along the lines of

" We're sorry you are seeing this message oh' god of eve & universes. Someone forgot to fuel our poses and we are trying to fix it so you can come create more tears. Please don't bother to push the UGLY ASS BLUE BUTTON because it won't work. As a token of appreciation here is:1 Male stripper. "

In closing. That message would be more to my liking and I am sure EVEryone feels the same.

Thank you, and wish FAWLTY7 a happy bday from me as well since it's kinda ironic that his bday is on the same day that EVE didn't fuel their poses.


Sincerely,

The fat dude that hates the blue button, loves Taylor Swift, watches midget porn, and asks not to be judged.




Sincerely,

So again, arrived at next game after leaving earlier games for lag, disconnections and ever during updates.
Got me started for 3 months, and payed nicely to end up with another game that has no intrest in letting players
play their game, while they figure out where they ****** up with the update.

Honestly, I suppose it is my own fault for thinking that after spending so much money with the many thousands or
millions in which we play these games, and buying extra credits on a weekly basis for getting just a little more
ahead then others, that some of that money would be spend in creating a redundant server setup, where when
someone fucks up, you don't bother the players for hours of game time, because you ****** up installing a update.

Where has the game world gone, when fucks ups are more important then the users that keep games like this
running by paying for things that (in this case) might breakdown.

Oooohhh my god, 6 hours of downtime??? Your hosting an online game...


If it ain't broken, don't try to fix it, if it is broken, (THEN WHY HAVEN'T YOU FIXED IT YET)...

CCP wants to start everyone in fuzzysov equal, we want to get the systems indexes down from their max to lets say 4 or less so everyone can have fun attacking each other and bringing the indexes back up, good luck to all.

Gauging by how much time has past since the initial failed startup it can be assumed that by this point some cheesebeard with a massive jawline is probably trying to convince mother brain to come back online through interpretive dance.

And if you think it doesn't work, its probably because you're not helping him.

I KNOW what i'll be doing as soon as the server is back up again!! that's right i'll be clicking that station door button, one of three things will happen

a) Walking in Stations is ALIVE!!! ITS ALIVE! (YEAH SURE!)
b)"the station atmosphere has not yet been decontaminated for capsuleer use" ( not that **** again)
c)it's turned into a cuboard where ccp fozzie is hiding (maybe......)

either way does anyone still use their expensive flash in the pan, otherwise known as their quarters...

Good luck CCP that's one hell of a bugShocked (still think a broken entosis link as a redeemable would be fun Lol
