AwKwarrd Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Spammed with it 1minute to shutdown and WHAM.. get spammed with the whole list 30mins 15mins 10mins 5mins .. etc... then BOOM offline..
Maxxian Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Same happened to me. Was thinking maybe they canceled the maint for tonight then BOOM server down.
HoyaPooch Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Yep with how inconsistent their maintenance times have been I figured that it was delayed. In about 30 seconds, it went from 15 minutes to shut down. Would have gotten myself to a resting zone. Pretty lame but not a huge deal.
-FarStar- Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Thanks for the 2 min. warning, BW ! So useful, especially when you do a WZ ! Thanks ! Good job Server Admin !
Cancrizans Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Same on Jung Ma lol. I thought we were getting a reprieve then BANG.
Asuka Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Kinda your responsibility to be aware of maintenance approaching.
HoyaPooch Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Kinda your responsibility to be aware of maintenance approaching. Do you even understand how inconsistent these maintenances have been. Sometimes they have been on Wednesday. Sometimes they are an hour or two late. The warning should be what we look for. But even that is jacked up now it seems.
lunabaguna Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Kinda your responsibility to be aware of maintenance approaching. I was trying to hit battlemaster before maintenance, if I couldnt I was going to turn in my daily for a champion bag, I did not get that chance because I was not warned. Its not a huge deal, but I just wasted a daily.
RivinHal Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Yeah, I think it happened to everyone, but they gave enough notice anyhow, so everyone should have known regardless.

The warning has been up for like a week.
Lunazen Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Yeah that was bizarre lol Shut down in 5! 3! 10! 15! 4! 10! 15! 2! 1! Was wondering if maybe the system admin had fallen asleep on the keyboard or something.
AwKwarrd Posted February 28, 2012 Author Posted February 28, 2012 Ok so its not just me? thankgod... thought i was broke.. but then i realised its bioware so everyone else got the strange "5,4,3,2,1 BYE!" shutdown? well everyone except this person.. who obviously has sand somewhere.. Kinda your responsibility to be aware of maintenance approaching.
ussrmdk Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 I wonder if any of these admins are married and use the same communication techniques in RL as they do in this game.
-FarStar- Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Same happened to me. Was thinking maybe they canceled the maint for tonight then BOOM server down. They never going to cancel the maintenance 6-8 hours time ! Why ?! How would they implement more bugs in to the game otherwise ?! Think for a second !!! Unless its done weekly - its impossible to archive !

Tenetke Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 lol it's kind of funny. I made a post about it because the order is all messed up too. I'm fairly certain someone started drinking early this morning and just didn't stop. Check out the countdown order. http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/417295_928084085319_42813289_37493450_713461323_n.jpg
HoyaPooch Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Hey. Guy. Read the front page of the forums that you are on right now. The warning has been up for like a week. I'm not sure you got my point. Those notices are up every single week. And sometimes they aren't accurate. I said earlier it wasn't a big deal. I now know not to trust the server announcements for shutdowns. Defend all you want. Personally I would hope the shutdown notices would be accurate. And they aren't.
Tenetke Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Hey. Guy. Read the front page of the forums that you are on right now. The warning has been up for like a week. I can tell you don't have much experience with them so far. Ah to be new to mmos, I remember that feeling.
CeruleanNite Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Do you even understand how inconsistent these maintenances have been. Sometimes they have been on Wednesday. Sometimes they are an hour or two late. The warning should be what we look for. But even that is jacked up now it seems. I have been playing now for almost 2 months and expect for 1 night when they cancelled maint. The times for it have been right on, so dont get bent because you didnt notice the time.
MashTactics Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 I'm not sure you got my point. Those notices are up every single week. And sometimes they aren't accurate. I said earlier it wasn't a big deal. I now know not to trust the server announcements for shutdowns. Defend all you want. Personally I would hope the shutdown notices would be accurate. And they aren't. Hey. Guy. The announcement said it was the 28th. Tell me, dearie, what is the date? Oh, that's right. The 28th. You're right there, sonny. They're way off course.
ussrmdk Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 I had my "hearth" ready just incase, but even though it has been up for a week or so, they have in the past changed the times, or extended the times on when the servers were going to be going down, plus it is not on one consitstant day,
ACLucius Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 They made an announcement about the maintenance four days ago. You had plenty of notice on how much time you had left. Just because you didn't pay attention to the clock doesn't mean that it is their fault, it is your own.
spcdog Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Yeah, I definitely filed this one under "Thanks for the warning". And to all the Captain Obvious™ wannabes out there, yes, thanks for pointing out the patch notice. Derp. Anyone with half a clue knows they've missed/postponed close to half their patches since launch, so I'm pretty sure most people figured it was just late again when there was no shutdown spam. Thankfully, Bioware has been really really good about finishing maintenance on schedule, compared to some other MMOs (especially shortly after launch). So mad props on that at least.
