Lundli Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Tbh, if the user can do something stupid he usually will.. so you should make sure he can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpazCats Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Or maybe someone noticed on the transfer screen they had mail waiting, logged in to clear out their boxes & then alt-tabbed out to finish the transfer? Innocent mistakes happen people. I don't think many people fired up the transfer page in the midst of a Voidstar or downing Soa. That's what I was thinking too. I'm very surprised as well that Bioware did not simply have the transfer code check to see if the player is online, and if so, forcefully log them off or try again later. IMO, this is more Bioware's fault than any players. And no, this did not happen to me... my server is not currently listed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they'd have read the fax, they would have checked the GTN/Mail before ever starting the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roxinius Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Not Bioware's fault that a few short bus riders logged in during their transfers. so the fact that bioware wasnt smart enough to post to not log in is player error im sick of defending this company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jawgust Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) so the fact that bioware wasnt smart enough to post to not log in is player error im sick of defending this company No, the fact that people don't have common sense is the player error. Regardless, they are now taking measures to fix the problem, so I don't see why people are still complaining. Oh wait, yes I do, it's because they'll never be satisfied no matter what.

JovethGonzalez Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Not Bioware's fault that a few short bus riders logged in during their transfers. This is not exactly how the issue works. There's a very, very specific situation that you have to be in in order to get this very rare issue. The advice given here in this stickied thread for tonight's maintenance is a big, sweeping precaution that reduces the risk of encountering this issue substantially.

Stovokor Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 follow Dev tracker ..... The quantity will very likely change as we monitor the transfer process, so I can't really give a good estimate right now. We'll be adding new origin and destination servers with the goal of ensuring that destination server populations are healthy. This may mean sending more origin servers to a destination or opening up new destinations. Because of the nature of the process, it's hard to predict how many we will during a specific timeframe. It is not likely that the timeframe for this maintenance will change, and we don't have plans to list more servers today. We'll begin listing more servers tomorrow morning, and we apologize for the inconvenience and additional wait for more eligible servers. We're in the process of testing the fix and preparing for deployment, and we're working to make the downtime for this as minimal as possible. Unfortunately, it's not an issue that we can correct without some downtime. We're also eager to get back to opening up more transfers, but we can't go forward and risk subjecting people to this issue. We know that everyone is eager for us to continue making more servers eligible for transfer, and we appreciate your patience. It is important that we fix the issue we've encountered - even though it is rare, we need to ensure smooth transfers. We'll continue making new servers eligible tomorrow morning and on a continuing basis, so if your server isn't listed, please keep checking the list periodically for updates (starting tomorrow morning). As we go forward, we'll let you know as much as we can about when we'll be making new servers eligible.

It wasn't just short bus kiddies doing something as simple as not logging out during xfers that caused the problem. Who would have thought it might have been more complex than the simple, if insulting, explanations the "community" has been providing. Nvm. A lot of people probably would and did think that. It's amazing how much vitriol and how little intellect this community has on both sides of the war effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiaa Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Just take a page out of Omega's book and blame the players for being online. Because no company ever takes precautions for user error. Never. Ever. No how. I'm tired of post like this. Suggesting Bioware should make plans ahead incase of errors most of us knew were bound to happen? That's ludicrous! Good day sir!

Brodysmith Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 They should put the servers down for 2 hours right now if it enables us to get more servers open for transfers faster, who cares if they go down for 2 hours right now, the game is unplayable with no one to play with anyways.... the High Pop servers can wait, theyve had enough play time already... ITS TIME TO PUT THE SCREWED OVER LOW POPULATED SERVERS THE PRIORITY! FOR ONCE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
