Hi people of CCP,
first to say, you support which i had needed some times is really great and i believe the people there do a good job on helping fast.
But ... maybe some software testers less on such an important feature like shipskins or icons less and more of them on the new sov-system would have helped to avoid the actual situation.
Anyway - i believe in you :)

Truth.

CCP finds this thread and the drinking game (which they are all now playing) far too entertaining and have decided to stop working on the problem until this thread starts to bore them. Please stop being interesting and funny.



If this is true then CCP owes all of us who got the game started....

So, forgive me if I've missed something, but let me check i have this right.

CCP bring down Eve at the usual DT and take the opportunity to fix a few bugs and presumably these bugs weren't real show-stoppers, as they wouldn't have waiting until DT before trying to fix them otherwise.

Eve fails to start up after DT and fair enough CCP try to fix the problems.

After several hours, said problems have still yet to be fixed, which prompts the question, why don't CCP just restore the software to how it was before they applied the fixes at DT?

It apparently can't be this easy, but i do tend to look for obvious solutions, when i am being deprived of EVE time. :)



The nice polite answer to this is, it's entirely possible that they can't just restore the software, due to a myriad of possible reasons. There's a chance that the only stable backup they have of the system affected might be too old to use. Eve is not a monolithic system, so restoring a backup/rollback is a little more difficult than what you would do for a home computer.

Hi,

I was wondering why there hasn't been a roll back to the stable build and a post mortem conducted.

Things don't always go to plan but there are usually processes in place for support when the proverbial hits the fan. Is this not the case with CCP?

I don't understand the rush to fix the broken code, which I'm sure will have less testing than usual, in lieu of deploying the stable build and postponing the update until a post mortem has been conducted.

Thanks for the hard work you guys are putting in but personally I think this series of unfortunate events could have been handled a lot better for both CCP and the players.

I've been in this position before myself and it is a lot of stress for the engineers, props to them, keep fighting the good fight.
