right smack in the middle of prime playing time for AU time zone :-(


Server downtimes are on a scheduled basis which is the way it should be. When the servers are down and under maintenance is when they are able to identify the issue and fix it, it would be illogical to bring the servers back up and then bring them back down again during the time frame they have the biggest player base trying to log on just to satisfy a minority of the player base.


fairly certain it could be moved back a few hours.... will make it earlier in the us... (doubt many people will be playing at 3-5am.. depending on which side your on of course)

frees up prime time here and even skips prime time in EU

what i know is that no one is happy about an unannouced dt extension. you can't promise us for 30mins and make it to a god-knows-when finish.

we want compensations, no excuse, and no debates.


Your corp name might be a result of your entirely unreasonable attitude to a completely unscheduled event that we're working as fast as we can to resolve.

Post constructively, or don't post at all.


are todays problems caused by the work you did on monday/tuesday?



Have some rep for making me ROFL. Lol

This should apply to CCP as well .

example


A joke is far different from a post meant to insult.

Not to mention, you can see he's continuing to work despite the fire. So really, he's saying they're working despite complications.
Rather professional, and comical.

Nice attempt at a strawman argument, however, on your part. Move along.

You seem to have missed the concept of unscheduled, when the servers were brought down is when the issue was found.

you mean it's wrong to be annoyed about unscheduled denial of a service people paid for?

It doesn't appear to be the case. Monday and Tuesday were hardware and firmware changes, as far as I can tell this is a code deployment issue that we're looking into, and is unconnected Smile



Hmm, the twitter says it's a short-notice hardware thing.


It was, then it was a software thing, now it's a software and hardware thing Lol

i'm talking about the concept of having downtime right smack in the middle of a prime time for a region

surely it can be tweaked a little to dodge all the main prime times ;-)

then everyone is happy.... and you dont have an entire region getting pissed off by downtime right smack in the thick of things

I'm guessing server still down,
But i have to say some of the posts i seen im so ashamed of people CCP have brought us an deep truely awesome game and i read posts and topics of people bashing away at CCP when errors happen.
complaining does nothing specially when CCP working hard to sort it and tbh can those who complain fix it prob not.
is it worth waiting for server to be fixed yes cause when it goes back online normally it's fine so instead on folks having a pop at CCP i would like to Thank them for an awesome game and wish them the best in fixing the issue
