Because it will undoubtedly happen after the patch, why don't I just get the communication issues out of the way now: 6/17/2020 1:29PM PDT: Current server downtime has been extended 3 hours to 5PM PDT. We will update that ETA if there is more news. 6/17/2020 5:45PM PDT: The downtime has concluded and servers are unlocked. Thank you for your patience. 6/17/2020 6:25PM PDT: We are currently investigating issues with server stability and will update you as we have more information. 6/17/2020 7:05PM PDT: All servers have been taken offline while we determine the problems. We have no ETA at this time. 6/17/2020 11:00PM PDT: We believe we have identified the issues with the servers, and are working to resolve them interanlly now. 6/18/2020 4:29AM PDT: All servers have been brought back online. We apologize for this inconvenience. That seems to follow the general pattern right? And if you haven't learned from the past, don't bother popping your AoC's after the patch if you don't want to lose them.
I wonder why AoC have a separate replay timer on top of the loot lockout and each boss having their own timer. Only thing it seems to accomplish is denying raids however many bosses they had left when a server crash happens. It's only on the early instances too, things like Anguish you can go back into 1 hour later.
Are you an admin assistant or something for DPG? Is this in their monthly update memo just to give them an extra 20ish hours of time to complete the updates? Lol. Sad that we have better predicted communication from other members than we have actual communication from the providers... and that it'll likely be accurate.
To be honest, and to not be too harsh to the company, you need to add about 2 more hours in between each of your update timestamps. At least. And that's being generous.
