Downtime US Server Downtime - April 3, 2015

never seen that before----PM means post meridiem (past noon) or afternoon for normal people.

Till 11:00am..?.....How's that working out for ya...???!!!!

just responding to someone elses post...but thanks for being oh so nice about that

Will someone please reboot the Comodore 64 this game server is running on?

Uh... When do we get the world back on? MEH

IM STILL FREEZING WHAT DID THE FIX? ITS EVEN WORSE THAN BEFORE NOW. EVERY 5 MINUTE

More downtime...kinda becoming a thing here. Twice in two weeks, and on my day off no less. Thx.

What are you doing exactly?

I don't know. I'll say this.

I work in IT. I deal with computers and servers and networking. All of it. I get that hardware fails...and I'm fine with that.

I will say this

1: It is VERY VERY VERY questionable that MULTIPLE drives failed in a RAID array at the same time. The odds are almost IMPOSSIBLE to calculate. The point of a RAID array is the redundancy. If you're monitoring...you should KNOW when 1 drive goes down and every admin worth their money would say "Replace that drive RIGHT AWAY"...and it would impact performance. However...if the RAID controller (which handles how the drives communicate and write data) went down...that WOULD result in catastrophic failure....and require some real work to repair. I get that...but it isn't what they said.

2: I do not for the life of me understand how they justify patching or having a maintenance window on a Friday. You do maintenance during 'off-peak' hours. It's why they reset at 7AM Eastern. The East coasters are usually running to work and the West coasters tend to pass out by 4AM. However...in my experience...unless it's been to head off something HUGE...I would NEVER do a maintenance on a Friday. It means monitoring and possibly working THROUGH the weekend.

Finally...I'll say this
In addition...today IS a holiday for some and I'm sorry...but a lot of gamers (myself included) had no plans except to enjoy my 'bonus day off' by maybe gaming. It IS a prime time. If indeed they're doing maintenance tomorrow too...that's INSANE. Take the servers down on a Tuesday or Wednesday...but not on a Friday/Saturday/Sunday.

I'm not slamming the devs. It's possible they NEEDED to do something...but for me...I'd like to see a change made in how they handle these windows.

its always the USPC that takes the longest to work on and get bk up and running,they need to get their **** together or they are gonna end up having to face loosing a lot of ppl in this game cuz they have no idea what there doing,now I for one think this is ridiculous and shouldn't be happening everyday of every week if there so called "know what there doing"! yes I understand the game may need maintenance,but come on now not every damn day! FFS

I'm with ya there this is a holiday and all we want to do is play one of our fun games yet this being extended to 1 am tomarrow this is BS and im sorry but couldnt they have done this one a week day. I,with many other people, am pissed.

it's not about being number one, it's about groups not taking in dps other than quantum or celestial...because well...Why would you? Weapon mastery + AM on other powers still don't compete...DPS is way unbalanced with those 2 powers on top by a long shot. I would like if the powers were balanced, but that would just make the game better after all...

Random, but did anyone notice Mepps Batman picture is reversed compared to other member's Batman picture? (just noticed it and it blew my mind a bit)

I have never noticed that. Awesome.

Guess it's time to go back to the comics. lol

Now that you mention it, it's really weird. He could have asked for a more "custom" avatar though

I wanna be patience.
But to be honest it will help greatly if the devs could tell us what this downtime is about.

I waited for the GU, like everyone else cuz I wanted the bundle, the rage AM and I have waited for things I want.

Why am I waiting this time?
