Kamarag Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I saw the server warnings at fifteen, ten and five minutes before. I logged out, but I can only assume they did them every minutes from five on down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brosephiine Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Yup, the warning flashed across my screen in red at 15, 10, 5, 4, etc. minutes. I logged off right as it flashed 3 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bethivus Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 How early did they warn us? I must have missed it. I actually took a nap today so i could pvp late with my friends. LOL. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizenxin Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) we did get an ingame warning.... one at 20 minutes, another at 15, 10, 5, and 2 minutes. lol.... it doesnt pop up you need to read the dialog box The default chat box configuration sucks balls. Small font and only a few lines of text. If someone's questing, PvPing, and anything else involving flooding the chatbox, the message doesn't get seen. Best to use the Launcher to spread a maintenance message, or an on-screen (middle of the screen) flashing warning every hour. The Launcher and client is what users interact with, and I doubt most of 'em babysit the website or forums when they play If the CSRs and BW dont' believe this, surveys should be conducted (via the friggin' launcher or some other main form of interaction). If they don't want to do any user testing, at least they should do some surveys via the Launcher. Hell, give folks an incentive for answering the survey: free pet just for helping BioWare work on their communication skills.

Brosephiine Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Would be really awesome to have a BioWare MotD upon first logging in, or reloading a map, or something. Maybe even an hourly message instead of just the 15 minute warning. Let's also have it flashed across the middle of the screen please. ... Cannot tell if serious.

RavenMuse Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I only spotted the 5 minute and 3 minute ones so I got somewhere 'reasonably' safe and logged out. Didn't see a 15min or 10min one but probably they where there, just lost in the chatbox traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
