macerone Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 It's about time to re-install windows anyway, might as well make it today. Radio silence for a couple of hours for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lecaja Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 There are other vidya games you know this right? The same launcher that said it would be finished by seven am or the twitter feed that said an extra half hour. I agree he is overreacting to an extreme degree but they could have communicated with us much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorstram Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Wrong. But never had a game that complicates things, provides no details on what is taking so long, then says they have no ETA. ETA is literally ESTIMATED, they cannot even give a round about number? But I expected quite a few idiots to be on their *****. You must have never played WoW. About 25% of their patches required extended maintenance. The added feature of the in-game cartel coin purchase is a major piece of software that could be causing complications. Since this is a new functionality, they've never worked on it in a live setting, so NO they wouldn't have an ETA on fixing it. I don't normally stick up for bioware, I leave that to the biodrones, but Jesus, you'd think that none of you folks who are complaining about this have played any other MMO's. Griping about this isn't going to make it go faster, and if they credit you for the time you've lost while waiting for this, you'd get about $.02. Two pennies for posting anywhere from three sentences to a wall of text about your out-of-game woes. THIS is why we can't have nice things.

Wolvines Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I see this is your first patch day in your first MMO, so welcome to the genre! I have played many many mmo's, WOW, PS2, Perfect World, SIlkroad Online.. and honeslty, even when expansion style content arrives, it doesnt take this long.

Well when Hutt came out wasn't the server down for like 12 hours? Almost 10 hours into this & I think some of you might crack under the pressure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grayseven Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Patch day is always Tuesday, unless Monday was a Holiday in which case patch day will be Wednesday unless they decide not to patch that week, in which case patch day will be the next Tuesday and if you are lucky they won't find a problem with the patch that pushes patch day from Tuesday to as late as Thursday or Friday and if it's a particularly awful patch on Tuesday you can expect another patch that could conceivably happen on Saturday. To be safe, I'd just take Sunday's off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUXs Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 On the one hand, I don't pay BWEA $15 a month to be able to go outside. On the other hand, stuff happens and it's not the end of the world. Well said bran! OP, sucks for you...but that's life. Had you had plans to be outside all day, it would have rained...I blame Murphy...anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. Take it all in stride.

ImperialSun Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Not a lot of things burn me up more than this. I NEEDED a day to just screw off, rest, relax. The wife and kids are out of the house, I'm all alone, the house is mine. This is the most rare occasion. SWTor is how I planned to spend it, ugh! Bummer...I think we've probably all been there I've only got one day holiday left for the year...what's the bet if I booked it to waste the day playing SWTOR the servers would down too Kudos for your post being reasonably light hearted though OP and not the usual bile filled **** spewing nonsense about the sky falling...or your entire guild of 50,000 subs quitting over it....and extra special kudos for the words "slap in the face" not appearing anywhere in your OP Driz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZirusZero Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Nexon had 24-48 hour patches. Count your blessings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turshek Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) Why would you take a day off on patch day when 99.9% of the problems happen? Kinda obvious, patch was announced at 10PM my time yesterday after work for 12-16PM maintenance today, way too late to call my boss and change things. Would be great if they were announcing patches a few days earlier (like they usually do Fridays for Tuesday patches), it could also force them to finalize the version a bit earlier and test it more so they don't have a big mess like today....

Perhaps they have started putting extra time in to maintain that hidden code layer that's designed purposely to gimp your Sin? You know because the man is keeping you down..

There is no reason it shiuld be this long crappy engjne or not. L2code bioware I've been playing MMORPGs for over 10 years and in my experience, the maintenance/downtime in this game is pretty much on par with every other MMORPG I have played, with the odd hicup like yesterday aside. And I see you tried to swerve the fact that you HAVE chosen to ignore all the times when maint is in line with the published down time, or the numerous times the servers are back up ahead of published schedule. Can't you be objective just once and give a balanced view based on facts? Of course not, I forgot, your perception is skewed because you are so bummed that Sins are not god powered Driz Edited September 5, 2013 by ImperialSun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyfy Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 That is not a massive feature. This seems like something they could have released the game with. Either which way, this is more than a problem. There is No ETA, and they are late by hours. Seems like they could have had all this figured out before they applied the patch. Just because it doesn't seem like a massive feature it doesn't mean that it isn't a large coding venture. Especially when you are dealing with systems that are interconnected.
