Scheduled Maintenance: October 22nd, 2014

[uTTerNuTTa]

This is getting really old, so many APAC raid nights screwed over and as others have said, over a little deco and a few changes? If it were urgent then leave it as it was for tues night, if not next week. Really loosing interest in the game with all this sort of carry on.

[Scorpiooooo]

How do you expect people to schedule regular raid time when you keep f****g changing the f*****g scheduled maintenance time on a f****g week to week basis

 

Your entire model relies on a paying subscriber base or paying ftp market yet you expect everyone to be unemployed and logged in 24/7 in order to maximise game-time when its f****g convenient for you.

 

This is beyond a joke. F U

That's two APAC prime time Wednesday nights in a row now... *** guys, seriously. Not only will this ruin one of my guild's Wednesday night ops run (literally, the only night in the week when all members of that group are available to raid together) but its putting APAC guilds a day behind for Conquests.

 

And for what? A free deco and ****** 16man GF crap again. If you want to encourage people to learn how to raid in the basic ops you should be pushing 8 man runs anyways, its too easy for new players to "hide" in 16man ops.

 

Much love,

 

APAC.

 

 

PS waiting for server to break down and emergency patch APAC Thursday night, should our Thursday night group also find something else to do in anticipation?

 

Well said. Trivial patch for a Wednesday and really screws around with APAC raid times.

Its not even for that. Those things could've been patched in tonight. Its so they can add an indicator for 12x EXP. For those people too stupid to realise that the really big numbers mean they're getting it.

[Blitz-wing]

What a perfect question to ask!

 

I just found out that we are going to be moving the maintenance out one day to the 22nd in order to get the 12x XP indicator into the patch. I will update all the messaging right now!

 

Well that makes cancelling another raid worth it...

 

An indicator for 12x XP that is only ingame for a short period & is not actually needed to play the game.

 

GO MAKE ANOTHER *********** SANDWICH TAIT!!!!!

[DarthKartus]

Is it October 21st or 22nd? Twitter says 21st and here it says 22nd. Make up your mind, please.

Tait, some codex or achievement fix i hope?

3 achievements bugged now:

 

1) makrin with fire on makeb

2) 200k damage in alderaan wz

3) all "Nar Shaddaa Nightlife" event achievements have been disappeared since patch 2.9

 

EnmaAli, it's nice to see you also want to take a stab at bugged achievements, but that list is way to short and not mentioning a lot of the other achievements reported in the forum as bugged. Might want to check up on the already existing threads. I wish it were only 3...

Hello from Germany

 

Am 21. Oktober werden alle Spielserver aufgrund von planmäßigen Wartungsarbeiten vorübergehend nicht verfügbar sein. Hier die Details:

 

Datum: Deinstag 21. Oktober 2014

 

Dauer: 4 Stunden

 

Zeit: 12 Uhr MESZ bis 16 Uhr MESZ

 

Vielen Dank für Eure Geduld während wir daran arbeiten Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ zu verbessern.

 

Dies ist bis jetzt die einzige Nachricht die im deutschen Development Forum, es kommen auch keine weiteren Informationen im deutschem Forum an. Nun musste ich über den Client feststellen das der Patch entweder verschoben wurde, oder schon immer am Mittwoch den 22. Oktober 2014 geplant war, dies ist für mich aktuell nicht nachvollziehbar.

Wenn ihr im deutschsprachigen Forum schon nur minimalistisch Informationen veröffentlicht, dann bleibt mit diesen doch bitte aktuell, wenn sich Termine ändern dann ändert diese doch auch im deutschsprachigen Forum.

 

Google Translator German --> English

 

This is so far the only message in the German Development Forum, there are also no further information in the German forum. Now I had to find out about the client that the patch has either been moved, or always on Wednesday, October 22, 2014 was planned, this is currently somewhat obscure to me.

If you published only minimal information in the German forum, then stays with this but please currently, when modify events then these changes but also in the German forum.

 

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

ChrisCy

Notes were updated to include the 12x XP icon note! As mentioned before, exploit information will be added post-maintenance. Edited October 21, 2014 by TaitWatson

[Tannatra]

Well that makes cancelling another raid worth it...

 

An indicator for 12x XP that is only ingame for a short period & is not actually needed to play the game.

 

GO MAKE ANOTHER *********** SANDWICH TAIT!!!!!

 

tbh i think they just want to unburden the CSR's since judging from all the posts on the forums about "wheres my feckin 12x XP" that have appeared since the pre-orders started its probably a good thing to get that indicator in... now if that indicator itself was worth a nights raid meh i dont think so but tait doesnt make the decisions he just reports them so please stop shooting the messenger....

Hi TaitWatson,

 

Can I just echo the frustrations shared by others in this thread about the rescheduling of the maintenance at such late notice. Since release I've been frustrated at your refusal to do maintenance on the European servers at a different time to the US, and I know it's even worse for APAC players. I swapped shifts to work around your maintenance so I wouldn't be at home all day while the servers were down and then working all day the following day when the servers were up. I arrived home half an hour before the servers were due up and was pleasantly surprised to see the servers already up. However I was confused to find the date has been stealth changed by you - at first I thought I had made a mistake. As such all my shift swapping and planning is for naught (worse I'm actually worse off) as the servers will now be down all day when I am at home tomorrow and was planning on playing.

 

TLDR: Please do not reschedule maintenance at such short notice. People plan based on the information you provide.

Even an idiot can tell they are getting 12x xp, go start a new character, do the 1st class mission then come back and comment.

The reason most are complaining is that because its the second week in a row this has happened and in the past few months we have been screwed over with maintenance on Wednesday or Thursday.

But hey, the APAC community is used to getting ignored but a few of us are on our last legs.

 

Make sandwiches for the harbinger hamsters also please tait, nobody has been feeding them lately and the server has been crashing because of it

As Eric stated in the twitch.tv stream with Snave, The Community Team is the bridge between the players & the Dev's. Coping the abuse from players is there job.

 

SO I WILL CONTINUE TO SHOOT THE MESSENGER!

 

Lack of Yellow Post in Reply is BECAUSE THEY KNOW WE ARE GETTING SCREWED but are too AFRAID to ADMIT IT!

[Revenal]

As many have already pointed out it is really disheartening for APAC raiders who change their work schedule and family commitments so they can raid on a Wednesday/Thursday evening.

 

We are used to maintenance falling on a Tuesday as it has always been the case and thus have scheduled our time based on maintenance falling on a Tuesday evening. So why the sudden change and the consistent change as such? This hasn't happened just once or twice it is happening almost every week..

 

Due to this happening so often and if it keeps occurring can't the maintenance be between 5am PST to 9am PST? That will allow APAC players to raid during their prime time while Americans should either be at work or sleeping?

[TaitWatson]

All servers are once again available! Thanks!
