Tarn_Sirun Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Smart move, you make a play to bring people back into the game with dbl xp and then shut the game down right before it starts with NO ETA on when it will be back up...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twickers Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 ...It's a server reset It shouldn't be down for more than a few minutes Just remember to say thank you to the folks who whined about the ilum "exploit" so this has to be done to shut them up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some long threads on the topic and the semantics therein. Whatever it is, they tried to appease the vocal minority.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kadin Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Why do people still call it an exploit? BW officially stated, that it wasn't an exploit. I agree but the fact is that in that same post, Eric mentioned that they will be putting in a fix for this issue as it wasn't something they intended to happen and clearly wanted to fix.

Feztonio Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 wouldnt an easy non-shutdown the game fix been preventing folks from 1-49 from going to illum? seems like it'd not require a No - ETA systemwide shutdown to level cap the transport to illum and the planet itself. if you're looking for folks who can think of great ideas i'll be happy to forward a resume.

dacentabaal Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I think earliers maintenance DID work.. However they now need to re-code it so it wont conflict with the double XP weekender code that starts at 6pm GMT tonight, so its only gonna be a minute fix And the maintenace is only taking an apparent 40 mins I just left the game with 5 mins boot time, and they are said to be back on in 40 mins (5:30 GMT) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never_Hesitate Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Yep smart move, they fix the game. With 1.7.1 they fixed the bt/esseles/foundry crashes (or at least for me) with 1.7.2 they were in again With 1.7.2a they fixed the CE/DDE rewards and with 1.7.2b the fix was patched out again So my question is: what will be broken after this fix?

discbox Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) A shutdown, on a weekend, after maintenance, while Gree event, bevore double XP event - good job! And all because player are smarter than BioWarehouse (using Illum while 2x XP weekend for lowlevels...) Or what's so important that servers are shutdown at primetime at weekend? Trooper helmets?

Dev Post AmberGreen Posted March 22, 2013 Dev Post Share Posted March 22, 2013 Hey there folks. We're sorry for the inconvenience, but we have updated the downtime thread to reflect an estimated time when the servers will be available again. We'll be sure to update if anything changes. We appreciate your understanding and are working to bring the servers back up as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enteum Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Guys, Chill out! They'll be back up. I'm subscriber and I was hoping to come home from a long weeks work and play some swtor too. Man, it's friday and no SWTOR. OMG! What shall I do...... Well, I'm going to go get some beers, cook for the lady, we'll drink and listen to some tunes, get between the sheets and get kooky.... .....and I'll see ya'll in game later. Bye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrizDaWiz Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 What gets me is that they shut all the servers down to fix something thats helping the lowbies get to 50 faster....yet they dont want to fix the issue with purchasing "store" items or even speak on it for that matter. The priorities of the people behind this game are ****ed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
