Mardalador Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Statement or no statement you don’t shutdown a production server at peak times. This kind of change control should have been done off hours. Any sys adim would know that. I would be fired for such a thing. At least the Asia/Pacific people finally get some convenient downtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neraks Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I don't know what all you are talking about blaming SWTOR ... I blame Breklinn... its always his fault. Always Breklinn, if your reading this.. This is your fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gvjunk Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 they got a message when you log on about the restart at 3:30.......... 1 hour later:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgelling Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 (edited) LOL - massive server outage on the last day of my subscription. It's funny, I came in right when they were forced to hand out free months to everyone and I'm leaving when there's been some seriously record-breaking downtime in the past week or so. Oh the irony (yes I know it's not ironic). Edited July 8, 2012 by jgelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any sys adim would know that. I would be fired for such a thing. Maybe Bioware needed a load on the servers to identify, test, repair...and test again.

Any sys adim would know that. I would be fired for such a thing. You are absolutely right. Even if it's an "emergency," you should still send out a server-wide message letting people know. Sounds like they have a bunch of project managers running the place instead of IT people...lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

covrich Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I doubt you know what you're talking about, 100 mbps is really not that rare, especially in Europe, where residential internet is several times faster than in the US. 100 MB/s however is a different matter, that you will (mostly) only find in data centers... Actually not really we have 100up and down where I work (UK), granted its and expensive line but given all the satellite sites and vpn access the syncronised uplink is just as important and the down link. That said in Europe UKs internet is not that good compared to the rest of it. but 50+mbits is not that uncommon for some residentials people now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoofar Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 (edited) I don't get the reasoning: "We want you to have the best playing experience, so we are gonna REMOVE the experience completely for the reminder of your evening while we try to provide that."...speaking from a EU point in time. Also I don't get how they manage to time after time after time after time after time generate so much rage. It's odd.

TheDetour Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Last update from @SWTOR on twitter was 45 minutes ago. This is absurdly long for a restart. You would think that BioWare would learn from all the previous times we have complained about a lack of communication. This is exactly what we're talking about. No posts in the thread since about 2:15. It is currently 4:39 Central. Seriously: you guys need to hire some gamers to run your community. I would never in a billion years think that one update every 2 hours would be sufficient for a forum thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordLongus Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Apparently there were some players experiencing lag. I personally was not. Anyone else experencing any lag before the shutdown or does it just take a few people to complain before they bring everything to a halt? Everyone on my server had game-breaking lag before server shut down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
