shudon Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Nice. Way to give us no notice. I'm sure none of us have been busy all week working and waiting for this weekend time to play the game. Thanks for the heads up. Please now fill us in with the super important bug that you fixed. -Paying customer. (only sometimes right) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the heads up. Please now fill us in with the super important bug that you fixed. -Paying customer. (only sometimes right) No kidding. There's a way to do it right, and a way to do it HORRIBLY HORRIBLY wrong. This would be the latter. No announcement on the forums, no blog post, no Twitter post, and absolutely no idea WHY. Not to mention only a 15-minute in-game notice instead of 30. Nice, guys. Also a sub, and not happy about this.

Adwynyth Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Only the Harbringer from what I see. If that's the case, there's still a process for restarting a server, and it involves TELLING US so we can know how long it'll be down, and appreciate why it needed to be done.

TalkingDinosaur Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) From what I saw ingame, this surprise maintenance ruined some pub guild's PvP gank on Tatooine. Nice one BW. Edited May 5, 2013 by TalkingDinosaur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying-Brian Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Unannounced maintenance on a weekend. And oh look, it's just the Harbinger again. That should equal some extra cartel coins to everyone's account. But instead we'll get jack-sh^t, a lame a*s we're sorry and still have a buggy server.

Lumpyone Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I can understand if it were ALL the servers, and something major had to happen. But its only The Harbinger, AGAIN. There isn't even a notice from BW stating how long it might be down or anything. At least they could give us some idea. Should I stay up and hope that my guildmates will stick around to finish the OP we were doing, or should we just call it a night? I wait all weekend for the chance to run OPs and this is what I get? Please, please, please put in server transfers soon so we can get off this faulty server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafaman Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Well... it seems to me that this was more of a server crash. I wouldn't call it unscheduled maintenance since it only involves Harbinger and it was so sudden. Something happened to Harbinger that warranted a shut down. What it could be... I have no idea. So... my guess is, it is very serious. Hopefully they are working to restore service as we speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aries_cz Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Not sure when the server crashed (it looks like it really crashed, since it is just Harbinger), but if it crashed 30 minutes ago, I would not be surprised if they still tired to figure out what happened so it could be fixed. And giving no or vague ETA is usually better, to avoid putting foot in your mouth if something goes wrong. But an acknowledgment on Twitter that server crashed would be nice...

Rantank Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 It was scheduled enough that they could post the 15 minute nuclear warning. Apparently they haven't quite got a handle on this "communication" malarky yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems to imply something serious is wrong with Harbinger and they are only apply bandaids to the real problem without really fixing it.

Do you really expect them to fix it now?? Let's be real here.. Seems to me this is a catch 22.. People QQ if they fix it with an unannounced maintenance.. As if everything bad that can go wrong announces itself.. Then they QQ for not fixing it and just put a band aid or a quick fix in hopes waiting until normal maintenance.. Seems to me that people just live to QQ.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
